Orgo Hanger by Norman Copenhagen

11-16-orgo.jpg
If we just had cool, matching hangers, we seriously belive our closets would be one step closer to organizing themselves. That's always the hope at least, and the Orgo hanger isn't helping to disabuse us of this illusion.
 
 

We imagine the countered interior would be great to thread scarves and belts through, allowing them to hang separately without bunching up on one side and throwing the hanger off balance, resulting in gauzy scarves pooled on the floor. That same feature looks like it might discourage hanger marks on slacks.

But why kid ourselves? The colors and design are fun and get us closer to realizing the dream of an effortlessly beautiful closet.

$20 per pair at Velocity.

Nice but way to expensive.

Per PAIR! Wow. Thanks but no thanks. I'll take the scarf pool.

Thank you AT for making me covet a $10 hanger.

I just had to count my existing hangers to see how much it would cost to convert to these ... I have 64 hangers so $640!!! Funny thing is that is the SALE PRICE and, even if I wanted to spend this kind of money on hangers, they only have 5 pairs of pink and 10 pairs of blue and 5 pairs of green left.

This hanger is a total rip off. Needless to say I have 2 orange ones because I love Rashid. But most of Normann products are plastic at absurd prices.

don't like the hanger at all, but l-o-v-e the idea that someone else thinks that if they have the right accoutrement, the rest will fall right into place.

I agree that your closet will never be properly organized if you use wire hangers from the drycleaners and those plastic hangers from the department store. But holy crap those are expensive!

You can't go wrong with some Ikea BUMERANG. They're pretty sturdy and incredibly cheap to replace if one breaks (which they occasionally do). Also, for some reason, Ross has a lot of good pants/skirt/tie/specialty hangers.

But seriously. $10 per hanger? Maybe you're just making excuses for why your closets will never be organized.

Gimmicks for organizing your home are consumer traps. At least that probability is addressed in the article. They are pretty, and if you don't already have a belt or scarf hanger, it's at a doable price. Just don't go switching your whole closet thinking your clothes will like hanging on these any better. In fact, punish them with plain plastic hangers until they do learn how to hang themselves up.

Spend money on things that show, in places where the aesthetics matter, not to trick yourself into doing something you're not going to be any likelier to do. Discipline isn't something you can buy at the store!

Hang your best tops or bottoms on one hanger.
If you suffer from a small closet and need more space and want to stay organized than check out the HankyTankyHanger.

Thanks
