About Us
How Our Brand Came To Be…
Part of the inspiration for our Northern Angels range was from a book called ‘The Angels of the North’ by Joyce Quin and Moira Kilkenny. A fascinating read, we discovered just how many influential women had come from the North and how remarkable their history was - often with outstanding contributions to society.
So as ideas began to flow we saw a gap in the market for a beautiful gift shop in Northumberland that celebrated all those wondrous achievements and encapsulated them in to sustainable, useable clothing & gifts - a lovely reminder of time well spent in our beautiful area.
The idea behind wearing and using each piece is in celebration of women who helped shape and forge some of the freedoms and choices we have now - not just the right to vote, but the spirit of adventure and career choices too. Often despite true hardship, they achieved remarkable things and were well ahead of their time.
We have had all of our angels illustrated from original photos for our growing range. So, whether you are visiting the area or want to give a gift that is steeped in local history, the Northern Angels is a truly unique gifting range that is not only designed to be utilised daily, but made responsibly too. We print all of our products in house and where possible, source from the UK.
A bespoke offering for our trade clients featuring an influential woman specific to their area or branding is also something that can be explored.
We hope you enjoy our story and if you are ever in Alnwick, do please pop in and see us!
