Huggable hangers for QVC

Grace6663582 — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 11:12:19 GMT

I wish and think that it would be helpful and better for presenting many of the sweaters and shirts that keep slipping off the wooden hangers if the Q would just use the huggable hangers from HSN. These hangers prevent slippage and allow the garment to shown around the collar. We all know that sweaters should be folded but for the sake of presentation , it is not working when a shirt or sweater keeps falling of or has to be readjusted constantly by the host.

It would be a good idea except for the people putting the clothes on those hangers. Have you ever tried to put a sweater on one of those hangers before? It doesn't go on exactly smoothly, if you know what I mean. You have to take time to get the piece onto to the hanger so it hangs right. Too much time involved especially when there's dozens of items to be hung for all of the presentations.

ITA, presentation is everything. Those old wooden hangers are so passe'. Lots of times the white paint on them is chipped and even dirty! They should make a better effort.

QVC sells their OWN 'huggable' hangers from Clutter Free.

I have always wondered why they don't use those too!

The hangers they use are awful for SO many items and look terrible for the presentations flopping off.

I have Huggable and Clutter free and hang EVERYTHING, including things you are supposed to fold.

Takes no more time for me than a regular hanger.

@SilleeMee I think you hit the nail right on the head. Putting any type of knit on & off those hangers (Clutter Free or Huggable Hangers) would take considerably more time to do. The crews have to constantly move clothes, and 99% of fashions that QVC sells are knits of some sort.

Plus, hosts are always trying to style clothes by taking them on & off hangers repeatedly to show what goes with what. The reason that they are not easy to come off is the same reason they would be quite a hassle to use on set.

Qvc doesn't need to borrow Huggable Hangers from HSN as the have their own version which I actually like better. They have a small hook on them that enables you to hand a second garment or to cascade.

I gave a set of the huggable hangers to my son and he hated them . Said it took too long to get a shirt off . He just likes to pull on one side and have it slide easily off the hanger .

It might be nice to have a female dress form or headless mannequin as they have in sewing shops to display tops or sweaters . They could have the other colors & patterns on hangars along with a live model .

I can see why they don't use Huggable Hangers. I bought some and don't like them at all. It is so hard to hang clothes on them. The clothes tend to bunch up as you're trying to hang them and the end of the hangers get stuck in the sleeves. They are OK to hang slippery short sleeve or tanks I guess but as for sweaters and tops they are sure a no go for me.

I offered mine to my neighbor and she didn't want them either. Said she had bought similar ones at Home Goods and doesn't use them either. I would like the slimness of these hangers without the felt but just made of plastic. I have some like that I bought at Target, but they don't have them anymore. I am always looking for ways to gain more closet rod space.

I have a mixture of Walmart's huggable hangers and those plain plastic ones in many colors. I don't care what my closet looks like, who sees it but me? The huggables are used for "slippery" items that might fall off. The plastics are used for items I want to just pull off quickly from one side.
