Will Huggable Hangers be Back?

Northern Belle 2 — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 14:26:51 GMT

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but since QVC and HSN are sister stations, I thought it might be okay.

I checked HSN's inventory, and the Huggable Hangers are all sold out, except for the children's hangers. Will they ever be back? It was my understanding that HSN bought the rights to the hangers from Joy and that they would now be selling them, but they've been on clearance since Joy left and now they're gone. I need a new supply and will be disappointed if they have been discontinued.

Thanks. 😊

if you go to TJ Maxx--they have tons of those type of hangers--maybe not with that brand name but they work just as well--and for cheap too--like 25 for $7.99----why pay more, for that name, and then pay for s/h on top of waiting for them to be shipped----

@Northern Belle 2

There was a thread a bit ago on this topic. Interesting comparisons. Might want to search.

I was under that impression, too that Huggable Hangers would be back at HSN. Target used to sell them. They are at ebay now.

@wagirl

I agree, that's where I get mine, cheaper & no shipping charge.

Costco sells an equivalent also.

The Container Store carries the actual Huggable Hangers brand. They have several colors and the matching accessories (skirt/pant clips, cascading hooks, etc.).

The website seems to have a larger selection than the B&M locations.

I purchased the same thing from Sams (Members Mark Brand) box of 50 for $13.

You can find them all over no need to order from HSN.

I know that there were lots of complaints about knockoffs when Joy was still at HSN. Customers complained that they broke very easily and were not colorfast. With Joy's hangers, I could hang a delicate white blouse on a black hanger and the color never bled. That's important to me. Maybe the knockoffs have improved over time? I will check them out as well as the Container Store and Zulily to see if they still carry the originals.

I really miss Joy Mangano and the products she brought to customers. There are several that I would like to buy more of.

I will never purchase JM's huggable hangers again. They keep breaking all the time!

So many quality products have been cheapened over the years.
My twenty year old Joy Huggable Hangers are still going strong.

I have more Huggable Hangers than I'll ever need, but I wouldn't buy them again anyway. The set that I got maybe 15 years ago (?) are still perfect.

The two sets I bought in more recent years were - to put it bluntly - junk. Some arrived broken and I got those replaced. Others literally fell apart on the closet rail with nothing on them. The hook and "hanger" just separated. I'd hear a noise, check it out, and another hanger had bitten the dust.

I had noticed that they seemed thinner and more so at the point where the hook was inserted. I have the older set to compare them to, so it's not my imagination. It seems, like many things, they were cheapened, probably to save on production costs.

Might as well buy the less expensive ones from Sam's or Target.

@Venezia That's what keeps happening to me, the hook breaks off the hanger. Even though I purchased the original, and not the knock offs, they still break.

I have tried a bunch of the different brands of "huggable hangers" style and find that they break much more frequently. I never broke a real huggable hanger and I prefer them based on my own experiences with different brands.

I've gotten "off brand" huggable hangers at Boscov's. Much, much cheaper. Better colors too.

Sounds like the hangers have changed over the years like many other products. For example, I still have my Dooney & Burke handbags that I purchased in the 1990's along with Brahmin bags. They are so well made with quality materials. The zippers still work smoothly and the stitching is intact. Nothing like what you purchase now under the same brand names. Dooney was proudly made in the USA. My generation expected things to last for years. I have to say that I found most of Joy's products to be "junk" but for the huggable hangers. Just my opinion.

I have mostly Joy's original hangers and I love them. I've also bought similar hangers from QVC. I like that those have built in hook for cascading them, but they aren't as sturdy as Joy's. I've had many from the Q break, but no breakage from Joy's.
