Description
This is a clothes hanger bent from rattan cane and finished in black, with a twist on the familiar outline: a second curled hook sits just beneath the bound joint where the top hook meets the shoulders. The frame is 100% rattan, 42cm long and 26cm tall, and it weighs 0.4KG. Rattan is a strong, pliable cane, which is why it takes so well to smooth curves like these, from the rounded shoulder ends to the gently bowed bar along the bottom.
At 42cm long it is a hanger for adult clothes, so a shirt, a blouse, a dress or a light jacket hangs from it in the wardrobe just as it would from any other. It is good looking enough to leave out on show, though. Hang it from a peg on a bedroom wall with tomorrow's outfit ready to go, keep a favourite jacket on display in the hallway, or give guests somewhere considered to put their things in a spare room. The lower curl is a handy place to loop a scarf, a belt or a tie alongside the garment, so a whole look stays together on one hanger.
The cane is bent into its outline and wrapped with a fine binding where the top hook joins the frame, then coated in a water based lacquer, which seals the rattan and gives the black an even, smooth surface. It is a simple piece of construction, and the binding is part of its charm. For styling, it works best where its outline can be seen: against a pale wall, on an open rail, or holding natural linen and cotton that sets off the black.

Frequently Asked
What is the hanger made of?
It is made from 100% rattan, a strong and pliable cane, bent into shape and finished in black with a water based lacquer.
How big is the rattan hanger?
It is 42cm long and 26cm tall, a size that suits adult shirts, blouses, dresses and light jackets, and it weighs 0.4KG.
What is the second hook for?
The lower curl, just below the bound joint, gives you a place to loop a scarf, a belt or a tie alongside the garment on the hanger.
Can I hang it on a wall instead of in the wardrobe?
Yes. Its top hook sits on a wall peg or hook as readily as on a wardrobe rail, so it can keep an outfit on show in a bedroom or hallway. The peg is not included.
What finish does the black rattan have?
The rattan is coated with a water based lacquer, which seals the cane and gives the black hanger an even, smooth surface rather than raw, unfinished rattan.
