Desigual for Women: Spring-Summer 2019 collection

Colour? The first of the Desigual Spring 2019 collection has arrived at Angel – now on sale 10% off.

The owner of Desigual, Thomas Meyer, created the design for these earrings – anatomically correct male and female robots – when he painted T-shirts on the island of Ibiza in 1984. You’ll see the robots this season on other styles from the Spring-Summer 2019 collection.

The Desigual Spring 2019 collection has arrived at Angel: Bags, tops, T-shirts, jeans, dresses and some cool jackets for women, with more coming later in the season.

We also have new Desigual for women, men & kids on sale @ 20% off during our Mid Season Sale. We’re also having a Winter Clearance Sale on all Desigual – 30% to 60% off.
