In 2015 Fransesco Ragazzi debutes his first collection with Palm Angels. In the next years the brand quickly evolves in one of the most popular brands amongst rappers,artists and streetwear fashion enthousiasts.

The Italian background of Ragazzi mixed with the laid back LA skaters style is what forms the unique aspect of Palm Angels.
