A carrier for transporting items such as clothes hangers is provided. The hanger carrier includes a hollow handle made from rigid material. The handle is of appropriate size and shape to be grasped by a user. A cord is provided for wrapping around, and thereby facilitating the carrying of hangers. The cord is threaded through the handle and the two ends of the cord are joined together to form a loop of fixed length. The carrier also includes a pair of hollow end caps which are threaded onto the cord before the ends of the cord are joined together. The end caps are resiliently affixed inside of the ends of the handle to protect the cord.
