| Additional Information | SO SO Happy was an accessory and apparel brand from the 2010s that specialized in hoodies and plush toys featuring cute monster characters (like the one seen on this button). The designs were reflective of popular youth fashion trends of the time such as the "scene" aesthetic which added a colorful neon twist to emo and punk looks. SO SO Happy also produced monster cartoons on YouTube and collaborated with other brands and individuals such as Jones Soda and actress Madison Pettis. Though the unicorn character featured here doesn't appear in any of the brand's designs after 2011, SO SO Happy was active through 2017 before it stopped updating its social media accounts; as of 2022, the SO SO Happy website is no longer operational. |
