As an unusual and mystifying tribute to the earth, these unconventional folk clothes hangers are an aesthetically pleasing and organic alternative to the traditional hanger. Each is hand-carved from poplar wood and finely sanded for a soft buttery feel and rustic appearance. The bewitching wood-burned design alludes to the whimsical plants, animals, and natural energies that reside in the dark wooded areas of the earth. Use it as an unconventional keepsake to remember the magic of your special event, or as a form of femme folk art to accompany your finest threads that you'd like to put on display.
