Leyendas: For the Familia That Grew Up on Scary Stories
Every familia has the story that got the kids home before dark. La Llorona by the river, El Cucuy under the bed, the lechuza on the roof that nobody would look at twice. Our abuelas told them to keep us safe. We still check the window. This aisle is for us.
1. La Llorona, before cafecito
For the one who wails until the coffee kicks in: the Llorona Before Coffee mug, tee, sweatshirt and tote, plus La Llorona Is My Homegirl and La Llorona Me Avisó. Read her story first if somebody in the house still doesn't know it.
2. For the one who still sleeps with the light on
El Cucuy got all of us at least once. The El Cucuy Before Coffee mug and tee and the El Cucuy Season sweatshirt are for the cousin who swears he wasn't scared. Who El Cucuy really is.
3. La Lechuza and La Sirena
The Lechuza tee is a folk-art owl, beautiful until you remember the story. La Sirena comes as a Lotería shirt and a Half Sirena, Half Caffeina mug. Read about la lechuza and la sirena.
4. For the comadres and the newest member of the familia
The Spooky Comadre Club tee is for the friends who still trade scary stories at every sleepover. And the El Chupacabra Baby onesie is for the littlest one, introduced to the legend early. The Chupacabra baby shower is a whole theme.
5. Every legend, country by country
La Ciguapa in the Dominican mountains, El Silbón on the llanos, La Xtabay under the ceiba in Yucatán, La Madremonte in the Colombian forest. Our map of Latin American legends has the full story of each one.
6. Where's El Duende?
He's the legend our readers ask about most, and he's next on our design list. Until then, here's everything we know about him.
