Red Monkey is a Los Angeles–based leather goods company that has been hand-building guitar straps since 1995. The brand specializes in premium full-grain leather accessories crafted in its LA workshop, ranging from its Classic and Slasher straps to fully bespoke Custom Shop pieces with hand-tooled, studded, and embossed designs. Beyond straps, the company also produces leather watch bands, watches, belts, and lifestyle accessories under the Red Monkey Designs name.
The straps are favored by hard rock and metal players for their heavy-duty construction and ornate aesthetic, and Red Monkey has partnered with Dunlop Manufacturing to distribute production models like the DRM01 Braided Leather strap through mainstream retailers. Notable musicians associated with the brand include Slash, Joe Perry, Zakk Wylde, Kerry King, John 5, Steve Stevens, Richie Faulkner, and the late Jeff Hanneman, several of whom have had Custom Shop signature straps built by the company.
Red Monkey has 25 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Straps & Strap Locks. Their gear is featured by 37 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Chuck Garric, Myles Kennedy, and James Hetfield.
