Abstract

A clothes bag and hanger is provided for vertical suspension of the bag from a supporting member. The hanger comprises a closed loop frame formed with a circumferential channel which opens radially outward. A hook-form hanger element is also formed with the frame for engagement with a support member. The clothes bag includes elongated front and rear wall panels of fabric sewn to form an open topped receptacle with the rear panel of greater length than the front panel resulting in the opening being in the plane of the panels and facing sideways. A drawstring sewn into a peripheral loop extending around the opening is utilized to secure the bag in the channel of the hanger from which the bag is then vertically suspended. A pleat formed in and extending longitudinally of the rear wall panel provides cross-sectional area expansion of the bag.
