The 'Hang by Hand' [clothes hanger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zehnder-archibald) enters into that realm. Designed by Alfredo Haberli, the 'Hang by Hand' hanger has been tweaked in a very simple, yet hugely significant way. Everyday we grab hangers by the shoulder, essentially manhandling our beloved clothes. With this improved hanger, however, Haberli has added a [handle just above the shoulder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belt-handle) to put that to a stop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Handle-equipped Clothes Hangers:** Designing clothes hangers with handles provides improved ease of use and convenience. - **Everyday Object Redesign:** Innovators can capitalize on redesigning widely-used everyday objects to improve functionality and convenience. - **Sustainable Clothing Storage:** Hangers that keep clothes in good condition for longer periods of time can help prolong the life of clothing and reduce waste. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Organization:** The home organization industry can benefit from innovative redesigns of commonly used products to increase convenience. - **Retail:** The retail industry can incorporate handle-equipped hangers to help consumers easily browse and organize clothing items in stores. - **Sustainable Fashion:** The sustainable fashion industry can incorporate handle-equipped hangers to promote prolonged clothing lifespans and reduce waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expanding Garment Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-hanger.md) - [Sporty Climbing-Inspired Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger.md) - [Fragrance-Defusing Hanger Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ploud-hanger.md) - [Thin-Wood Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-hanger.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Banana-Inspired Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banannang.md) - [Rotating Punctuation Mark Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotion-hanger.md) - [Storage-Conscious Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coat-hingers.md) - [Modular Minimal Wardrobe Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-cloths.md)
