A locally-based startup is on a mission to revolutionize closet space organization.
Hanga (pronounced HONG-uh) is a company that makes a new kind of clothes hanger (called the Hanga) that is durable, sustainable, easy to use and preserves the quality and integrity of clothes.
"As an entrepreneur, it's exciting to design and develop products that are practical, useful and still unique," founder Justin Kershaw said in a statement. "I'm a big guy, so hangers have always stretched out my clothes and left dreadful shoulder marks. The design of this hanger will allow you to hang everything from sweaters and coats to the most elegant dresses without worry of pulling or ruining the garment."
The Hanga is made from galvanized spring steel and built to last a life time. The prototype was designed by Kershaw and engineers at Ohio Wire to ensure the right curves of the metal, thickness and weight accomplished the goal of creating a sleek, convenient and long-lasting product.
"The best part of our design, is your clothes will never fall off the hanger. It is designed, however, to easily slide garments off without taking the Hanga off the rod and more importantly, without stretching the collar of the shirt, Kershaw said in a statement. "In a short period of time, we see investors believe in the product and value the solution it provides to the constant closet battle with cheap plastic or wire hangers. Beyond production of the Hanga, our goal is to continue making sustainable household items that make life easier and help support the environment."
So far, the Hanga has received a warm reception, recently surpassing its Kickstarter goal of $25,000.
