Angel Marinda: An Enchanting Figure

Angel Marinda, whose name means “of the sea,” is a captivating figure. She glistens in her white ostrich feather dress, and her double heart-shaped wings, crafted from wire and adorned with fine crochet, shimmer with turquoise sequins and beads. Her head, hand-felted from soft Angora goat wool, has a delicate and refined texture. Marinda wears a crown embellished with turquoise beads and sequins, adding a touch of sparkle and elegance.

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

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 angel making are supplied by Cape Karoo International, globally renowned for their finest quality ostrich plumes. The sizes of the Karoo Angels can vary, as each one is handcrafted. This natural variation results from the artisanal process and the use of non-standardised ostrich feathers. Each angel’s individuality adds to its charm and authenticity, making it a truly exceptional piece of art.
