Designer Alert: Angel Jackson

Despite Launching in 2005, Angel Jackson has really come into its own this year with distinctive designs attracting a considerable amount of attention from the fashion press. You may well recognise their now almost iconic gold plated jaguar belt, famously pictured worn by various members of Girls Aloud. There is however much more to this designer than cinching the teeny weeny waists of Britain’s favourite girl band and Angel Jackson’s collection of bags, belts and clutches are certainly worth a look.

The designers seem to effortlessly unite sophisticated sportswear with spangly evening glamour using combinations of quilted leather, suede and snakeskin. The irresistible clutches come in an array of impossibly tropical snakeskin and have a fold away gold chain strap so they can be worn day or evening.

The labels motif; the golden jaguar leaps across waist belts, luxurious suede satchels as well as chic totes.

Even more enticing are the hand bags, real statement pieces in bold acid brights and glamorous metallics. We personally can’t get enough of the Rainbow Jai bag with its bright patchwork snakeskin and gold detailing. These bold and bright pieces look most effective when used to dress up simple outfits.

The entire collection is extremely wearable, great fun and more excitingly affordable with most pieces being under £200. Check out the collection at angeljackson.com Some pieces are also available at asos.com.
