Desigual CAMILE coat by Christian Lacroix. $345. Top photo: Desigual Imma coat by Lacroix. $444. Fall-Winter 2014 collection now at Angel Vancouver. We have the largest selection of Desigual on the West Coast of Canada.

We’ve just received the second half of our Fall-Winter 2014 order from Desigual, including a number of new overcoats, with three creations by Paris fashion designer Christian Lacroix. Some coats are longer and warmer, better suited for the coming winter, while others are shorter and lighter — perfect for warding off the fall chill in the air. We also have a number of new Desigual scarves, purses and boots (see photos below — put your cursor over photos for prices). In the days ahead, we’ll show you new arrivals for men and kids from Desigual’s autumn collection. This week, we have a number of Desigual pants & dresses on sale for 15% off the regular prices. We’re also offering 35% off select Desigual pieces and 20% off all Desigual children’s wear.

We’re open Monday Oct. 13 from noon to 6.

He wondered if they communicated with each other that there was a diver with a knife nearby who could cut them loose from tangled fishing lines.
