Pincinox (stainless steel clothes pegs from France)

Pincinox is a French brand of clothes pegs. The difference is that rather being made from plastic, these are made from stainless steel, and designed to last for years, perhaps forever!

If you dry clothes outside, always stow away rotary driers when not in use, to avoid strangulation accidents for children, pets and wildlife. Retractable clothes driers (that fit flush against the wall when not in use) are safer. Same for storing away football nets when not in use.

Sold with a lifetime warranty, these are rustproof and resistant to heat and frost (since 1969, not one set has ever been returned with a complaint). The unique solid one piece construction includes springless forged mechanism, to grip even heavy wet clothes. They are also easy to use and hold.

Sunday Times journalist India Knight calls these pegs ‘miracles of mini engineering’.

They also won’t rust so never stain your laundry, and you won’t ever have to pick up springs or pieces of broken pegs off your lawn or patio. Made by the same family for decades, you can also use them to peg open bags together, even bags of frozen peas!
