Shop Hangar is an accessibly priced fashion label that targets Millennial and Gen Z consumers. After having traveled to places like Uganda, India, and Southeast Asia, the founder of Shop Hangar felt like her beloved fashion stores were overpricing pieces, prompting her to start her own business.
Shop Hangar offers a variety of demure and sophisticated pieces such as dresses, swimwear, matching activewear, and bodysuits, among others. Each piece was carefully screened to ensure it met the brand's quality standards while remaining affordable for its fan-based. Currently, the brand has a wide reach of Canadian youth through its successful Instagram and TikTok platforms, and we can expect the business to continue growing as it continues to impress its target demographic.
