Sock monkeys at Saks Fifth Avenue!

This month, you can buy a fresh art sock monkey at one of ten Saks Fifth Avenue stores! The promotion is part of a Saks Father's Day campaign. Check out this lovely ad, which appeared in the Saks catalog in June.

The sock monkeys are all made with socks donated by Ozone Designs, and 99% of the proceeds go to support fresh art. The flagship New York City Saks Fifth Avenue store will have the biggest selection of sock monkeys--look for them on the sixth floor in the mens' underwear and sock department, right next to shoes.

Happy Father's Day, everyone!
