we create a rectangle
here i have respected the x and y coordinates
this makes it a lot easier for distances etc.

For the hook, let's make it simple.
We take a question mark from a font
here I take this one from Helvetica because it is suitable

I don't know why you can't use weld with this font, but we'll get around that by creating an outline with 0mm and then we can edit it.

with edit node we remove the dot at the bottom 
and for a nicer shape we add a dot to create a rounding here

we create a rectangle and round off the corners

then we adjust the size and align it on the background
once that fits
we make a copy and move it all over the xy coordinates so that everything fits

we make a copy of the shape and place them on top of each other
shorten the shape from the left and make it twice as high

now make another copy and this time drag it in from the right and extend it a little on the left again

this is so that we are open at the sides so that the tie can be inserted but also so that there is a small hook so that it cannot slip off the hanger so easily again

group so that nothing slips
let's continue copying the slide-in compartments
here I also recommend proceeding with xy again because it is simple and always correct 
we only ever increase by 10mm

as soon as the copies are finished, we have to make a hole at the bottom so that the bottom tie can be threaded in

simply copy a group and ungroup it
delete everything except the one part and adjust it again using xy

i love to customize the texts
here i used again 2 fonts with different sizes
i also created a frame with a rectangle to make it all stand out a bit

i also tried something with pattern but most of the time it overloaded XCS and took a long time to load

 

adjust everything so that it is centered, especially the hook from the ?
now select the drawers and the large rectangle and choose substract

select the ? with the rectangle on unitet
