Iconic Styles with Palm Angels

The name of the brand comes from a photograph captured by Francesco Ragazzi. The image of a long-haired skier among palm trees inspired Ragazzi. He likened the skier to an angel and, inspired by the palm trees, Ragazzi named his brand Palm Angels, which means palm angels. Palm Angels’ sunglasses are a bold and unique fashion statement. Based on the Italian approach to American culture and subcultures, Palm Angels sunglasses stand out with geometric shapes, color and pattern combinations. Playful and bold, the Palm Angels sunglasses range often uses bright hues and different shapes, but also includes classic black, white and tortoiseshell. Sonoma from the Fall/Winter 2023 collection is embellished with intricate milling details along the entire frame, enhancing their lightweight construction, while the extra-large pilot shape with a flat front and smooth edges really makes this design stand out. The sturdy handles are accented with the Palm Angels logo engraved on a raised metal plate, adding extra elegance.
