At the same time, they hold the cup of triumph – in the same material that distinguish this ancestry firm – brave and sober, its interior contains the golden plenitude of patriotic edges, with our flag in green, white and red colorful lines.
“In the minimalism of its shape, it hides a long message in its symbols and meanings, it means a lot to us as a brand, and to the Mexicans as a country. It was a project of maximum responsibility, but it was the pride of being selected to execute it what made us outdoing ourselves in order to represent the feeling of glory in an object that will go down in history.” Said Nino Bauti, Tane’s Creative Director.
