Wardrobe Hanger Obsession!

londonsurrey

We live in a consumer society. They sell us things. We don't see the things - we see the dream that the things promise.

So, my latest thing is hangers. Prosaic, yes.
BUT the dream is of a beautifully organised wardrobe.

Velvet flocked hangers are the latest thing for non-slipping clothes.

But I'm on a budget, and can't justify buying 100 of the things.
However, I do like the look of the non-slip self adhesive shoulder grips on the same page. Does anyone know where to get them, please?

I've found one place in the UK, but by the time you add delivery and VAT, it comes to £22 for 100, which is silly.

They sell something very similar in home bargains 2.99 for 10 I think it was

Putting rubber bands around the ends of the hangers has the same non-slip effect.

I'm in the process of covering all my hangers myself, so they're all padded. I'm doing knitted covers. I suppose it depends if you're into 'crafty' things.

I wouldn't say it was an "obsession" - all the hangers in my wardrobe match it's just tidy that way!
I pay £2 for 10 hangers, so to me £22 for 100 seems quite reasonable actually especially as they are velvet.

Noodles, thank you for that. Unfortunately, I live near Sutton and Croydon, and nowhere near a Home Bargains. And their online site didn't sell hangers.

Maman, I'm really clumsy and not very crafty. My hangers are like this:

How would you put rubber bands neatly round them?

Mary, unfortunately, it's £22 for 100 little non-slip pads, not hangers.

Hi, not sure if you or someone you know is a Costco Member but they sell 50 black flocked hangers for £10.49 +vat - I will see if I can find an image and attach later

My husband used to be, but he died. Sounds like a good price.
However, in the interests of strict economy, I was hoping to do a cheap DIY thing to my existing hangers.

Wilkos have some velvet hangers £2.68 for 5 or two packs for £4.

I find TK Maxx are good for hangers at a reasonable price.

I've seen some in primark too. I can't remember how much they were but they had a few different colours.
Bought the necklace/accessory hangers that matched though. Like a miniature tie rack & quite cute! But I still don't have a beautifully organised & arranged jewellery collection

Dunelm Mill also sell them I *think* I got 50 for £14.99 (or something like that) I love, them origianlly bought them off a infomercial for £££ and needed a top up. They really do give you half your space back

They also do flocked trouser hangers which hold 4 pairs per hanger, which are really handy.
