- All-time favorite entries are highlighted this month:
Highlight #1
Vintage Hangers - Reason, a trend that endures. Period!
Highlight #2
The Thin Shaper was created back in the early 1980s. It was designed to give a more visually appealing broad shoulder ‘look’ at 1” thick and to take up about half the hanging space. It allowed for almost 50% more garments to be fit in the same area as the 1.5” to 2” thick hangers of the time. So popular for the last 30+ years and then rubber coating them in 2015 to make them anti-slip. Simply Phab!
Taking nothing away from the Thin Shaper and only adding to the demand that called for a look that would truly accentuate. Say Hello to the Super Chubby!
Highlight #3
Saving the best for last, or should I say the last of the best, The Standard, The Staple, The Champion of All Practical Styles, The FX-2!
