Angel of Light

Angel of Light: A Handmade Macramé Christmas Angel in Champagne Gold

The Angel of Light is a handmade Christmas angel with fluffy cream macramé wings scattered with little gold leaves, a tiny gold crown, long wavy jute hair and a full skirt of champagne-gold tulle dotted with gold, finished with gold satin and sheer organza ribbons, all hanging from a jute-wrapped ring that doubles as her halo. She is knotted by hand locally, one at a time, so she is the kind of Christmas decoration that comes out of the box every December for years. Our team has been choosing and delivering gifts from our Claremont studio since 1999, and more than 5,800 customers have reviewed us across Loox, Google and Trustpilot. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town, or send her anywhere in South Africa in 2 to 4 business days. See more in our Christmas gift boxes.

The warm glow of Christmas candlelight, in a champagne-gold angel who comes out of the box every December.

What's in the Angel of Light

• Macramé wings: soft cream cotton cord, knotted by hand and brushed out into feathery fringe, with small gold leaves tucked in
• A jute halo: a jute-wrapped ring that frames her and gives her shape
• Her face and crown: a soft white felt head, long wavy jute hair and a tiny gold sunburst crown
• A champagne-gold dress: gold-dotted tulle over a champagne bodice, with long gold satin and sheer organza ribbons that move when she hangs
• Ready to hang: a fine gold thread with an amber bead, plus a free handwritten card with your message

A Golden Angel for a Cream, White or Natural Christmas

Not every home does red and green. If her Christmas is all cream linen, white candles, dried grasses and warm wood, the Angel of Light belongs there. Champagne gold catches the late afternoon sun on a wall, glows softly next to fairy lights in the evening, and sits as happily beside a green tree as it does in a pared-back beach house. She is the gift for the person whose home always looks beautiful, and who would never forgive you for a plastic decoration.

A Christmas Gift That Comes Back Every Year

Most Christmas gifts are used up by New Year. The Angel of Light is the one that gets unwrapped again next December, and the one after that, and every time she goes up on the wall someone will remember who gave her. She is a lovely gift for a mom or a gran who is the light of every family Christmas, a friend in her first home, or anyone who keeps a box of decorations that each come with a story. Add your message at checkout and we write it by hand on the card.

Handmade Locally, Only a Few at a Time

Every Angel of Light is knotted, brushed and dressed by hand by a local maker, so no two are exactly alike: the fringe falls a little differently and the gold leaves sit in slightly different places. Because each one takes time to make, we only have a handful this Christmas, and when they are gone, they are gone.

Where to Hang Your Angel

Hang her on a door, above the mantelpiece, at the end of a passage or on any wall where the tulle skirt and ribbons can fall freely. She looks her best where a little light catches the gold. She is made from cotton, jute and tulle, so keep her indoors and away from heaters, candles and open flames.

Delivery: Same Day in Cape Town, Nationwide in 2 to 4 Days

Order before 12pm and our own drivers deliver the Angel of Light the same day across Cape Town, from Claremont and Bishopscourt to Camps Bay and Tokai. Anywhere else in South Africa, she travels by courier and arrives in 2 to 4 business days, so she is easy to send to family in Johannesburg, Pretoria or wherever they are spending Christmas. For more gifts that travel, see our nationwide gift delivery.

Caring for Her After Christmas

When the decorations come down, fluff her wings and skirt gently with your fingers, wrap her loosely in tissue and store her in a box somewhere dry, lying flat so the tulle does not crush. Next December, give the fringe a gentle brush with your fingers and she will look as full as the day she arrived.

Her Sister Angels

The Angel of Light has two sisters, made by the same local hands. The Angel of Joy wears sparkling Christmas red, and the Angel of Peace wears soft dove grey with silver. See everything festive in our Christmas wreaths and flowers.

Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town, or 2 to 4 business days anywhere else in South Africa. Each angel is handmade, so small details vary.
