Angel Desiree: The Desired Beauty

Angel Desiree’s beauty lies in her simplicity, being unadorned with any sparkles. Her long, flowing dress is crafted from intricately crocheted wire strands, complemented by modest yet elegant, multiple-looped wire wings. This combination showcases delicate craftsmanship and adds a distinctive charm to her appearance. The name Desiree, meaning desired, perfectly encapsulates her allure.

Angel Desiree is a cherished member of the Vintage Range, gracing us with her presence for over 15 years. Among these beloved angels are Angel Marinda, Janine, Justine, Gerda, Baby Valenta, and Maria Small. Each angel carries its own individual charm and story, making them perfect additions to any collection.

Desiree, with her simple design and distinctive wire construction, adds a charming touch to both indoor and outdoor displays, such as a front door wreath. She can also enhance gift wrapping for a special present or serve as an elegant table centrepiece, surrounded by candles and festive greenery.

Handcrafted in South Africa by Karoo Angels.

The Karoo Angels story began in 2006 in Vondeling, a remote village in the Karoo semi-desert of South Africa. What started as a small craft project for community upliftment soon grew into something much larger. The project provided training to local artisans, leading to the creation of unique, handcrafted angels from wire, beads, wool, and ostrich feathers. The project expanded to include Rietbron, forming the Karoo Angels brand. These angels have gained international recognition, bringing pride and income to the once-forgotten villages. The feather tufts used in the angel making are supplied by Cape Karoo International, globally renowned for their finest quality ostrich plumes.

GOOD TO KNOW: The sizes of the crocheted wire Karoo Angels may vary slightly, as each one is handcrafted. This individuality enhances their charm and authenticity, making each angel a distinctive piece.
