Smart Hanger
Smart Hanger improves life because it eliminates wasted time attempting to locate clothing.
Our team at Smart Hanger recognizes that a lot of time is wasted searching for clothing. On average, women spend one year of their lives deciding what to wear (The Telegraph). Men, on the other hand, spend an average of 13 minutes every day deciding what clothing they are going to don for the day (Allure). Smart Hanger is a solution to this problem. When the process of clothing retrieval is streamlined and made more efficient, time is saved. When people have more time, they can do more of the things in life that bring them personal joy, like being with family and working on passion projects.
Smart Hanger is a two-fold solution: firstly, it's a service in the form of an app and secondly, it's a system of attachable, illuminating rings that clasp to hangers. So, every article of clothing's associated hanger ring is programmed with identifying information (e.g., "red," "formal," or "nylon") that illuminates when chosen on the app.
