Angel is a designer and creative director of Angel London. A luxury handbag brand.
Her journey into leather craftsmanship began with a genuine love for creating beautiful things by hand. She was fascinated by the artistry behind luxury handbags and wanted to understand every stage of the process, from selecting premium leather to cutting, stitching, and finishing each piece with precision. What started as curiosity soon became a lifelong passion and eventually a business dedicated to timeless design and quality craftsmanship.
Every Angel London handbag is designed and handcrafted at our London studio. They are created with attention to detail, combining traditional leatherworking techniques with contemporary design.
Teaching allows her to pass on skills that are becoming increasingly rare while helping people discover the confidence that comes from creating something with their own hands. For her there is nothing quite like watching a student transform a flat piece of leather into a beautifully finished bag and seeing the pride on their face when they realise what they have achieved.
Whether someone joins our workshop as a complete beginner or with previous experience, our goal is always the same: to make learning enjoyable, approachable, and inspiring. We break every process down into clear, manageable steps so that everyone leaves with new skills, greater confidence, and a handcrafted piece they can genuinely be proud of.
We look forward to welcoming you into one of our workshops and helping you discover just how rewarding it is to create something beautiful with your own hands.
