This fixture was first profiled naked some time ago. Here beautifully stocked and merchandised it deserved a followup. Who would think plastic clothes hangers could be displayed so well. And as originally stated, there must be profit here to support the offering with its own Bar arrangement. CLICK for closeup of Bar and Label Holder … Keep reading
Clothes hanger merchandising is an extensively populated thread here on FixturesCloseUp. I suspect that they either fall from the sky free offering a commensurate high profit upon sale, or they are also edible and consumed each night during prime time television. These bundled sets of hangers make a good statement for themselves in orange packaging … Keep reading
An unusual use of a heavy-duty Flat Backbar, to merchandise light clothes hangers. The web of this bar is tall enough to support a far greater load than demanded of it here, so possibly this bar is repurposed from other uses. It also seems too large for any style Saddle Mount or Spring Clip Bar … Keep reading
A perennial problem is how to hang my Australian-cut Speedos and traditional Japanese Fundoshi. Though categorized as a Bikini Hanger this just might do the trick for men too. And a few as Window Dressing or a creative ceiling Mobile Sculpture might be good for retail. Check them out at Only Hangers … which unashamedly claims … Keep reading
Being Obsessive Compulsive I buy my hangers in matched sets of colors. Best I can manage might be 2 to 3 colors or styles of hangers across the entire house. And 2 styles in any one closet would be an extreme. Here each bundle of clothes hangers is a riot of color. Given that this … Keep reading

Obviously the humble hanger takes on a grand scale of importance to the extremely fashionable French. CLICK the image below for a widow-wide panorama, and decide if the … Keep reading
These bulky knit scarves have enough mass to make a visual presentation wound around coat hangers. They are not trailed, draped or hung because another rack is immediately below confining the space vertically. But this idea allows scarves to be cross sold adjacent to coats and other wearable merchandise rather than folded on shelves across … Keep reading
I have seen frames and eyewear merchandised from clothes hangers, and if I have not shared with you yet I promise I will. But eyewear from an inverted clothes hanger takes creative preeminence. Though not my particular style or approach, the odd approach fascinated me. CLICK the thumbnail for a closer look, or link out … Keep reading

Both these offerings are 5 packs. Both seem to be priced $4.99. So why are child size the same price as adult size Clothes Hangers? (Though materials and labor may well nigh be almost the same.) I would bet money the shopping public would expect and even demand a difference. How would you price these as … Keep reading
Louis Vuitton is known for beloved and iconic trunks and valises. But the world should also honor the maker is of this Vuitton-endorsed sub-component. It is far better than any clothes hanger I own or can be found in local housewares emporiums.I particularly appreciated the corduroy-corded, rubberized pants hanger bar. With this my slacks would … Keep reading
I am sure all in apparel retail have an over-abundance of clothes hangers in need of creative recycling. How about a mobile sculpture or wind chime hung in center store? I barely recognized these as clothes hangers, though I think I would have draped just a few more sale items from the arrangement. If aiming … Keep reading

My Color Array thread documents color arrangement as a visual merchandising element. Louis Vuitton had interesting colors to offer, but sadly these clutches occupied a shadowy undershelf and could not speak color loudly. Still they are Vuitton, so who could criticize too much. CLICK through the gallery of images for other views. Compare directly to… … Keep reading

Getting the direct involvement of customers is an important aspect of any sell. In particular accessory items like sunglasses require a trail. Even an old fart like me wants to see how cool he looks, or if the frame style suits my personal image. A coiled tether as leash allows the trail, but may take … Keep reading
Only a fixture fanatic like me would poke around behind the sophisticated displays and visual presentations of a premier retailer like Louie Vuitton. But the inquisitiveness often pays off. Here a chrome shrouded computer display at Louis Vuitton is discovered to house an Apple iMac, readily apparent from the porthole in the monitor support. Glad … Keep reading
Skulls and Skull Scarfs grow in popularity each time I make a foray into retail. Little did I notice before starting a Skulls in Retail thread. Now it is like realizing how many models of your own car are on the road. Skulls appear in both well-heeled and not so well-heeled environments. CLICK the thumbnail … Keep reading
With a thread documenting scarves and scarf fixturing, I could not ignore this display of Neckerchiefs.
