The Hang Easy Tale


Hang Easy started in the early 90's by my Uncle, Dad and Pop, it lasted all but a year or so before it was disbanded. It just didn't sell during the days of catalogs, the waist height washing basket hangers needed to be seen being used for its genius to be understood.

It was a failure on a business front, but I remember loving it as a kid. You see, my mother was the model and our backyard was the backdrop, how fun for a 4 year old to witness. Most importantly Hang Easy actually worked, it saved peoples backs, so we used it for many years after! 

Fast forward 30 years, I found the last known set in my Nan & Pops garage, I decided to take them home for myself and my pregnant wife to use. Covid had just started, and like so many, I was out of work. While putting out the washing it hit me that we were the only people in Australia to have Hang Easy on the line, so I decided to get them manufactured again and start selling them online.

We updated the design, strengthened it where we could, and within a few months I made my first video showing off Hang Easy, it got about 50,000 views. I was flabbergasted! About 2 days later, I realised I had made myself the face of this product and had to make more videos, rather than dwell on my camera shy persona, I decided to embrace it. Our videos have now been seen millions of times and our following is steadily growing!

In 2024 I added my own invention to the Hang Easy brand, called the Undie Hanger, a world first contraption that allows the user to thread undies, bras and baby clothes on the line without having to peg each one. It has been a great success thus far.

These days Hang Easy provides for my family and I am so thankful for it, it's the dream job I didn't know I wanted. I'm so happy I get to bring these inventions to the world.
