History
↓↓
Clothes hangers originated in the 19th century as a solution for hanging garments neatly. Early designs were made of wood, wire, or metal. In 1869, Albert J. Parkhouse patented a wire hanger in the United States, which became the prototype for modern hangers. Over time, hangers evolved into various materials and shapes, including plastic, padded, and specialty hangers, becoming an essential household item worldwide.
