"Stop Hiding" Armadillo Mug

Stop Hiding

Armadillo is a Spanish word that translates to “little armoured one”, and considering the bony plates that cover its head, back, legs and tail, the name is extremely appropriate! Contrary to popular belief, only the three-banded armadillo can curl into a ball when threatened. The majority of the 21 known species of Armadillo live in Latin America and are closely related to the anteater and sloth. Although their eyesight is poor, their sense of smell, long, sticky tongue and strong digging claws help them find bugs alongside plants and fruit. Generally, the armadillo likes to be warm and to sleep, something that we can definitely relate to!

Darcy and Luna are just two guinea pigs, squeaking at their hooman, telling them they’re hungry...

Darcy and Luna Designs was born after our founder and artist, Milly, lost her two beloved guinea pigs. They were her friends when she was lonely, her entertainment when she was sad, her reason to get up when she just wanted to stay in bed. If this wasn’t reason enough, then the fact that guinea pigs are the most underrated pet is!

This made her think - what other underrated animals are out there? Darcy and Luna Designs is all about paying homage to those animals that are just as adorable as dogs, elephants, hedgehogs and donkeys, just a little more… alternative!
