Palm Angels is the Milan-based brand founded by Francesco Ragazzi in 2015 that successfully fused LA skate culture imagery with Italian luxury fashion production — the palm tree and skull motif, the track jackets with side stripes, and the logo-heavy aesthetic have made it one of the most visually distinctive brands in the luxury streetwear space. Available from palmangels.com, Farfetch, SSENSE, and at Palm Angels boutiques. Palm Angels is not currently in The Brands Villa’s product range. For luxury bags with worldwide duty-paid shipping, The Brands Villa’s luxury bags collection covers authenticated pieces from all the major houses.
Who Founded Palm Angels?
Francesco Ragazzi founded Palm Angels in 2015 — initially as a photography project documenting the skate culture of Venice Beach, Los Angeles. The photographs were published as a book (also called ‘Palm Angels’) by Rizzoli in 2014, and the fashion brand grew organically from the visual world the book established. Ragazzi is Italian (born in Padova) and brought the production quality and tailoring standards of Italian luxury fashion to the LA skate aesthetic — the result is a brand that is simultaneously more expensive and more technically constructed than conventional streetwear while maintaining the visual language of California skate culture.
The Palm Angels Track Jacket
The track jacket is Palm Angels’ most commercially successful product — a zip-through jacket in the classic athletic track jacket format (elastic cuffs and hem, side pockets, zip front) with the Palm Angels logo across the back or chest and a distinctive two-stripe or three-stripe side panel treatment. Available in seasonal colourways and collaboration editions. Retail approximately $350-$700. The PA track jacket is widely counterfeited — particularly the simpler colourways — so purchasing from authenticated sources (palmangels.com, SSENSE, Farfetch, authorised department stores) is recommended.
Palm Angels Bags
Palm Angels produces bags — primarily backpacks, tote bags, and crossbody bags in the brand’s graphic logo print or in solid leather with logo hardware. The PA Mini Bag is one of the most searched PA accessory items. Retail approximately $350-$700 for most PA bag formats. Not in The Brands Villa’s product range — available from palmangels.com and key retailers.
