About

Funky Junque (pronounced Funky ‘Junk’) is a family-owned apparel business, operating since 2001. Funky Junque has established itself as one of the leaders in the hat business, offering "the greatest selection of hats for all people, all reasons, all seasons". The company first found success with their winter beanies, particularly their popular 'pom' and baby beanies. In November 2013, Funky Junque launched its first products on the Amazon platform, marking the company's shift to an e-commerce focus.


Today, hats remain the company's top-performing product category, contributing significantly to Funky Junque's overall business. However, the company has also diversified its catalog to include other accessory items, such as scarves, gloves, bags, as well as complementary party supplies that align with some of their themed hat designs (e.g., bachelorette parties, sports). Funky Junque is now a top brand on Amazon with over 650,00 product reviews with an average 4.7 stars and a 98% seller rating.

Founding Story

Linda Wolff (now Dermer) was a top children's salesperson, representing top brands like Tractor Jeans, Church Girl, and Lucky Jeans. One of her oldest client asked if she represented any fashion jewelry/accessory lines. Linda had her "ah-ha" moment, thinking to herself that there weren't any brands she fit the market opportunity she envisioned, so she decide to start Funky Junque.

Linda's product vision for the company was to market quality, inexpensive products that were both fashionable and functional. What started with a handful of items 23 years ago has grown to over 3500 skus!
