Wooden hangers retail for around €1 here, and it's ~2.5x cheaper if you look at AliExpress. Note that both are retail, the wholesale prices are probably half of that. €19 for a hanger is ridiculously expensive, even if they're individually hand made. Granted it includes shipping, but even if shipping is 50% of the cost, it's still absurdly expensive.
She mentions in the video that the plastic pieces are injection moulded over the wire, that's a clear indication that it isn't all done by hand. This is very likely being manufactured in a factory in China, with a 1000-2000% markup. But it's got a great story attached to it, and that's what sells it.
- IshKebab 3y agoYeah because the people making those cheap coat hangers aren't paying retail prices for materials. That was his point. They also aren't paying western salaries for R&D.
- tengbretson 3y ago> €19 for a hanger is ridiculously expensive €19 for a hanger is the wrong way to look at this. There's no useful application where you'd buy a single hanger. This appears to simply be a way to provide people that want to toss €19 of support to someone they like doing something cool a little something in return. The 12 hanger package is $75, which makes the per-hanger cost of $6.25 still a bit high, but well within an order of magnitude of other high-end products in the category.
