Angels

Angels, operating under Reinhold Fleckenstein Jeanswear GmbH, is a German womenswear brand established in 1980 by a fashion-focused entrepreneurial couple in Nagold. The company specializes in manufacturing and retailing jeans and trousers for women, prioritizing perfect fit, quality, and responsible production.

The brand's core philosophy is to create durable, well-fitting pants that distinguish themselves from the mass market. A significant milestone was becoming the first German company to offer five-pocket jeans in women's sizes and introducing a length guide system to simplify retail. The entire production process, from fabric weaving to final manufacturing and washing, takes place in Europe under strict environmental guidelines, with final quality control conducted in Germany. This 'Made in Europe' approach is central to its identity.

Angels employs sustainable practices and materials, such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, and resource-efficient washing processes like the 'Knot-Wash' which saves 50% water per cycle. The company offers a wide variety of fits (including Skinny, Cici, and Dolly), washes, and styles to cater to a diverse female clientele. The business operates on a B2C model through its online shop and also distributes via retail partners in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland. In 2015, the founders, Heike and Reinhold Fleckenstein, partnered with investment firm Findos Investor to secure resources for further growth and international expansion while remaining as managing directors. More recently, in January 2025, the company was acquired by Lefaxx Jeans and now operates as a subsidiary.
