Clothes Hangers

What could be more central to closet organization than the humble hanger? Before Joy Huggable Hangers came around, there were 3 types of closet hangers.

Wood hangers – Wood hangers are the heaviest of the 3 hanger types. The classic wire hanger. Made famous through cheap mass production for the dry cleaner industry, wire hangers were designed for temporary use and light items. Wire hangers have even been known to discolor or rust in humid air, leaving horrible stain marks on your clothes.

Similar in shape to the wooden hanger, the plastic hanger is fast replacing the wire hanger as the mass production standard, and is becoming very popular. Not all plastic hangers resemble the wooden hangers by providing an additional bar across the bottom for slacks, but some do. Plastic hangers are cheap and durable, but like the wooden hangers, take up lots of valuable space in your closet. Children’s clothing is often hung on plastic hangers.

Skirt clips are found on some hangers, and if the hanger is tiered, it can hold several garments concurrently. There was a constant search to create a wrinkle free hanger. Your child’s closet is the first place I would remove your old wire hanger system and replace it with visually appealing, space saving, and child safe Joy Mangano Huggable Hangers. For added space, buy some Huggable Hangers clips that join several hangers together in a cascading fashion so that you can hang several shirts in the place of 1 single shirt.
