Woman goes viral as foldable clothes hanger design gets funded in hours Kickstarter: Coat Hingers \u2013 Foldable Coat HangersA woman has gone viral after sharing her foldable clothes hanger design, her Kickstarter already surpassing five times its initial goal. Ever found you don\u2019t have enough space to hang all your clothes? Or tried to awkwardly squeeze in an extra item only for three others to come tumbling out? Well, you wouldn\u2019t be alone. Frustrated by the lack of space available in her new house and by how far away from the wall her clothes were hanging, Simone Giertz decided to find a solution. The idea settled on was foldable hangers and after three years of planning and design, Simone has now launched a Kickstarter campaign. Sharing her design on TikTok, Simone said, \u201cIf your closet is too shallow for standard coat hangers, or if you have a space where you can\u2019t fit a coat rack, I made these for you.\u201d \u201cThe hinge is designed to hold fabrics of different thicknesses and to not leave any creases on your clothes and the rod has grooves so your coat hangers always stay perfectly aligned,\u201d she explained. Including a demonstration on how to use the new design, Simone questioned how her invention wasn\u2019t \u201calready a thing\u201d and asked anyone interested to check out her Kickstarter campaign. And it turns out foldable clothes hangers are in high demand. Not only did Simone\u2019s Kickstarter reach its goal in hours, but it has already surpassed its $76,769 goal at the time of this writing. Currently sitting at $388,091, that number continues to grow as more pledge their money toward the hangers. Considering the design\u2019s popularity, one person offered Simone some advice; \u201c[Please] patent this. I\u2019ve never seen this before, and it\u2019s brilliant, and I want you to get all the credit (and [money]) possible.\u201d Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
