What Does Equality Feel Like in the Home?
On August 26, we honor Women’s Equality Day—a moment to reflect on the legacy of those who fought for our right to vote and be heard.
But here’s something I believe deeply:
True equality doesn’t just live in policy. It lives in design. In the rhythms of daily life. In how we are supported—physically and emotionally—by the spaces we call home.
Equality looks like being seen.
Equality feels like being supported.
And sometimes, equality shows up in the shape of a hanger.
"True equality isn’t just political—it’s personal. It shows up in the way our daily tools are made to honor us."

Designing for Women’s Real Lives: The Hidden Gap
When I first began designing the Heirloom Hanger Collection, I wasn’t setting out to “reimagine” the closet. I was just tired. Tired of watching the shape of women’s clothing slouch, stretch, or snag on hangers that were clearly never made for us—our curves, our fabrics, our lifestyles.
Most hangers are made cheaply. Uniformly. Thoughtlessly.
But women are not one shape. We’re dynamic. We wear silk one day, denim the next. Our shoulders hold soft wraps and structured blazers—and we need tools that can match our range without compromising the integrity of what we love.
So I created a new standard.
Because how we hang our clothes is a form of how we honor ourselves.
Why Closet Design Is a Feminist Act
If that sounds bold—good. Because I believe designing for women’s bodies is a radical, long-overdue act of respect.
Consider these quiet injustices:
-
Garments misshaped by wire hangers designed for bulk, not care.
-
Sweaters slipping off plastic hangers and ending up on the floor.
-
A daily experience of disorder that subtly reinforces: “this space isn’t really yours.”
But what if it was?
What if the first space you opened each day—a closet—wasn’t just functional, but sacred? What if it held your clothes, your story, your body—with dignity?
"Your closet should hold you with the same grace and strength you give to the world."

The Radiant Philosophy: Beauty + Utility + Soul
Our Tree of Life, Mountain, and Lotus Hangers aren’t just artisanal for beauty’s sake—they’re intentional by design:
🌿 Tree of Life Hanger
Designed with broader shoulders and a sturdy arc to cradle sweaters, coats, and cardigans without stress or sag. A symbol of rootedness and growth—made to last for generations.
🏔 Mountain Hanger
Sleek and strong, made for tailored garments and heavier layers. Think of it as a hanger that matches your resilience—solid, reliable, beautiful.
🌸 Lotus Hanger
Delicate and curved, ideal for lighter fabrics like silk, linen, or woven cotton. A soft invitation to dress with gentleness and intention.
These hangers are not accessories—they’re part of a larger truth:
When we design with care, we restore the dignity that mass production forgets.
"The things we touch every day should remind us of who we are and how we want to feel."

Actionable Ways to Celebrate Women’s Equality Day at Home
Let this day be more than symbolic. Here are three real, grounded ways to reclaim space and celebrate sovereignty:
✨ 1. Reclaim Your Closet as a Ritual Space
Don’t treat your closet like a storage unit. Make it a place of quiet empowerment. Add a calming scent, a photo that inspires you, or a soft rug to stand on while getting dressed.
✨ 2. Replace Disposable with Lasting
Swap out five plastic or wire hangers for heirloom-quality ones. Even a small change shifts the energy. Choose tools that reflect your worth—not convenience culture.
✨ 3. Let Clothing Care Become a Practice of Self-Respect
Don’t toss your favorite pieces in a pile. Hang them with intention. Treat them like they matter. Because you matter.
"The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest."
— Thomas Moore
Equality Begins at Home
True equality is embodied. It’s not just in how we vote or work—but in how we live. The care we give to our clothing, to our homes, to ourselves—is part of a wider story. And women deserve tools that support them—not just functionally, but spiritually.
So this Women’s Equality Day, let’s do more than remember history.
Let’s reshape it.
