Angels Fancy Dress

Apparel / Fashion

Angels Fancy Dress has grown from comparatively modest beginnings as part of the largest costumiers in the World. In 1813 Daniel Angel, a young tailor from Frankfurt arrived in London with barely a word of English. He headed for Seven Dials and set up a barrow selling second hand clothes. He later opened a second hand clothing shop with his son Morris providing a service for those who wanted good quality clothes at reasonable cost. Later, when an actor asked if he could rent a suit rather than buy it, the hire business took off. Angels is not just a trading name for the business, it remains a family enterprise with the 7th generation of the Angels family now working in the company.
