Hare hook in brass – Doing Goods

Doing Goods hooks are hand-cast in recycled brass instead of mass-produced plastic or wood. The brass is heavier and provides greater durability. Each hook has small variations from the casting process, so no two are identical. The material develops patina over time instead of wearing down.

The hare hook is designed for light items such as children’s clothes, small bags, bathrobes, or jewelry. The weight capacity depends on the mounting — in solid wood with proper screws it can hold 1-2 kg. For heavy winter coats, larger hooks are recommended.

Green patina forms when brass oxidizes in humid environments. Polish the hook with brass cleaner every 3-6 months to maintain a shiny surface. Alternatively, you can let the patina develop — it actually protects the metal and is a natural part of brass’s aesthetic.

Yes, the hare hook works well as a gift for children aged 0-8 years. It’s practical from the start when parents hang baby clothes, and later the child can use it themselves. Brass lasts for generations, so the hook can accompany the child into adulthood. Feel free to combine it with other animal hooks from Doing Goods for a collection.

Doing Goods is a Dutch brand collaborating with craftsmen in Nepal, India, and Kashmir. They focus on fair trade, craftsmanship, and using recycled materials. Each product line supports local workshops and traditional casting techniques that are otherwise disappearing.
