Perfectly Padded Clothing Hangers
The Story of Hangerbee
It all started with a WWI Uniform.
Then another. And another.
Museum consultant and Hangerbee founder Lindsey Smith worked “behind-the-scenes” at dozens of museums during her early career. As she walked through aisles of museum artifacts, one thing kept sticking out. Many garments - including century-old WWI uniforms - were being stored on ill-fitting wire hangers. Museums had no easy solution to this big problem. There was no affordable, museum-quality, padded hanger available to purchase.
Thin hangers and hangers made from non-archival materials can cause a lot of damage. Lindsey knew she had to do something. So, she developed her own line of museum-quality padded hangers and made sure they would be accessible to all. As Hangerbee grows, we continue to work hard to keep quality up and costs down.
