Winging It

Batman. Tinkerbell. The angel Gabriel. Always panty liners.

You can trust a thing with wings.

And now there’s Angel Jackson, a handbag label to fly for.

Founded by Katie and Millie, two sisters who love to shop (they used credit cards to start the business), Angel and Jackson are names they planned to give their children (they have four between them) before considerate friends vetoed the plan.

The company is dedicated to those who need glamour in a rush. Grab one of their Whipsnake Chandra clutches the next time you’re running out for dinner and you’ll jazz up your True Religions in a flash. (They also do a great woven nappa belt). And if placing one of their vintage-style ballet boxes or gold leather hold-alls on the check-in desk doesn’t get you upgraded, nothing will.

Inexpensive and unbelievably chic, they’re the kind of bags that set hearts aflutter.

Catch them now — before they really take off.


Available at The Cross, 141 Portland Road, W11 (207 727 6760); Graham & Green, 340 Kings Road, SW3 (0207 352 1919). To see styles, go to angeljackson.co.uk.
