About Us – The Story Behind Capy Life
At Capy Life, we’re a family-owned brand powered by chaos, coffee, and capybaras. We’re a quirky, geeky crew of five — two grownups, three wildly opinionated boys, and a couple of fence-sideswiping dogs — just trying to survive parenting, deadlines, and the occasional science fair meltdown with humor and a whole lot of weird.
Our capybara obsession began on a family trip to Taiwan to adopt our youngest son. Somewhere between jet lag and dumplings, we met a herd of capybaras at a farm. They were completely unbothered, delightfully awkward, and radiating chill. It was love at first sight.
Capybaras aren’t flashy. They aren’t fast. They don’t try to be cool — which, ironically, makes them the coolest. In a world of hustle and highlight reels, they remind us to slow down, stay weird, and embrace our inner oddball.
Capy Life is our way of bottling that energy. From wizard-robed parenting memes to golf shirts for people who lose more balls than they find, our designs celebrate the delightfully nerdy, wonderfully weird, and capybara-level calm.
Connecticut says we can’t legally own one (we checked… twice), but that won’t stop us from living like one.
Thanks for being here. Stay quirky. Chill like a capybara. 🦫💫
