Detachable hanger loop for apparel

Abstract

A detachable loop used to hang unconventional pieces of clothing on a conventional hanger hook. The product is primarily intended for strapless dresses. The first embodiment uses an open strap with magnets at each end. The strap can be secured by the magnets with the dress material between the magnets. Non-skid material may optionally coat the hanger grips. A second embodiment uses a clip at the ends of a closed loop. This product avoids the necessity of using the unsightly and uncomfortable hanger loops that are typically sewn into garments by manufacturers.
