Discovered by Darcy

Discovered by Darcy Sustainable apparel, inspired by our four-legged family members! It wasn't until she was home that I thought, 'I can do that!'. Please help a dog-dad out!

Having waited several years for the timing to be right, in May 2020 I finally paid my deposit on a Miniature Dachshund puppy, at just a day old. Darcy came home eight long weeks later, and we've loved every minute since (she hasn't eaten anything valuable or deadly yet). I spent my puppy-prep time searching for small businesses I could support, and quickly acquired an affordable, high quality ward

robe for our new arrival. Since then, I have purchased a sewing machine and learnt to use it, experimented with a variety of patterns, techniques and fabrics, and was proud to launch Discovered by Darcy with a strong introductory range. Since our October 4th launch we have grown significantly, and continue to release unique and fun designs for you and your pup to enjoy! Late in October, we welcomed home our second puppy, Ember. She is a keen, cheeky assistant, carefully managing our quality control department and finally joining Darcy in the spotlight, taking part in her first campaign with the release of our Valentines 2021 collection. We are very excited to be integrating more of our baby girl into the DBD feed! Our products are handmade to order with you and your pup in mind; we consider appearance, longevity and safety in our manufacturing, and meticulous attention to detail throughout. We hope you'll stick around for our journey - we have so much planned! We frequently add new products to our permanent collection, as well as a host of holiday collections with unique fabrics to mark the occasion. After all, our pups are family, and it's only right they be part of the celebration! In short, we'd love if you'd consider us for your bandana needs. This business has been a labour of love, and the girls really like lamb treats (the expensive kind!).

500+ Canine Companions & counting! ๐Ÿพ

Itโ€™s finally happening - our Crufts catalogues are officially in the printing process, and our Canine Companions series has grown to over 500 designs! ๐Ÿคฏ Just one year ago, we debuted this project at Crufts with only a fraction of these illustrations, and now, thanks to your support, it has become something truly incredible ๐Ÿฅฐ

Weโ€™ve also caught up on custom Companions, meaning your outfits for the big show are on their way home in plenty of time! We cannot wait to play my favourite game of DBD spotting in the NEC halls - thereโ€™s nothing better than recognising you by my own drawings of your pups! ๐Ÿฅน

I am beyond proud of how far these little doggy drawings have come, and I will never stop being grateful for the love you have given this project. Itโ€™s surreal to think that thousands of these tiny illustrations are out in the world, bringing a little extra joy to so many of you ๐Ÿงก

Who will we be spotting at Crufts this year? I can't believe how close it is! ๐Ÿ˜ต

Sensitive to uncomfy embroidery? Weโ€™ve got you ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

We know the struggle - embroidery can be stiff and uncomfortable, and printed designs can crack, peel, or fade over time. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve perfected our seamless heat transfer application, designed to last through every wash, adventure, and cuddle session without compromising on softness or durability ๐Ÿงก

Our transfers meld seamlessly into the fabric, meaning they stretch and move with you, and bounce back every time - so you get that high-quality look and feel without worrying about wear and tear! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป Plus, theyโ€™re easy to care for, making them perfect for everyday wear ๐Ÿ•

Whoโ€™s guilty of over-wearing their favourite hoodie? (No judgment here! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ)

Iโ€™m More Of A Dog Person ๐Ÿซฃ

Curated for the slightly friendlier dog owners... or maybe just the polite ones ๐Ÿ˜‰ Featuring our brand-new line-art breed portraits and a tagline that speaks for itself, this design lets everyone know exactly where your heart lies! ๐Ÿถ

This is the sister design to โ€˜Dogs Are Better Than Peopleโ€™ โ€“ giving you two ways to wear your dog-loving pride. Which one speaks to you most? ๐Ÿค”
