Vejigante Magnets
Description: This design features 5 Boricua "Vejigante" Masks in our Puerto Rican flag colors, in honor of festivals and traditional parties such as "Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian" or "Sanse". People dress up as "Vejigantes" during carnivals as a tradition from our African, Caribbean and Spanish roots. They represent mischievous devils, throwing water from their cow bladder bottles/bags called "vejigas" just for fun. These costumes are made by artisans in our island and always as colorful as our culture. Because, as Boricuas, we love to wear our colors, you have the freedom to choose your tops and hats colors or styles, as well as explore the variety of matching accessories available for you!

Description: A vejigante is a folkloric character in Puerto Rican festival celebrations, mainly seen during Carnival time. Traditional colors of the Vejigantes were green, yellow, and red or red and black. Today, Vejigantes wear brightly colored, ornate masks corresponding to the colors of their costumes that detail bat-like wings. The term vejigante derives from the words vejiga (bladder) and gigante (giant) due to custom of blowing up and painting cow bladders. The masks are often linked to festivals that continue today, especially in Loíza and Ponce.
