You'll go ape over these funky sock monkeys

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 04.01.2007
Two words: sock monkey.
You probably had one as a kid — that funky, stuffed toy with the big ol' red mouth. Minneapolis-based designer Rebecca Yaker has come up with a 21st-century version of that beloved toy, and her designs are waaaay cuter. Yaker's monkeys sport huge eyes and fun designs like houndstooth and polka dots. They even come in a conjoined version that looks like they're in a permanent hug.
Make sure to check out her clothes — for big people and little people — adorned with that classic, red-mouthed sock monkey. The $1,500 strapless, full-length dress covered in sock-monkey heads would be PERFECT for prom.
Monkeys start at $42. You'll find them online at sockmonkeys.com.
