All of our feather angel wings are hand made in mass quantity.  There are more than 30 procedures involved, to simplify, from buying feathers and marabou, cleansing, bleaching, dying, drying, separating different types and lengths of feathers, separating left curved from right curved feather, making cardboard base, shaping and applying iron wires, covering feathers front and back side with glue, drying again front and back side, applying elastic straps, folding them (if necessary) for shipment.  Sounds complicated?  That's why we produce them on a massive scale, to lower costs across the board.

So, feathers are fragile in nature and wings are non-durable goods.  Know the following, so when you purchase wings, you have proper expectations for them.

Hand made crafts- no two pairs look exactly the same.

Natural feathers - imperfections in feathers exist

Applied by glue - easy detachment of feathers and marabou, feathers reacted to glue then dried may cause shades to slightly change

Cardboard base - has to be hard enough to define the wings shape yet soft enough to be bent, possible showing on the side or beneath because feathers are semi-transparent.  Best way to avoid showing the cardboard in a picture is not to shoot against lights and have a dark background to avoid lights from reflecting back.

So, why the heck we go through so much trouble to make a pair of angel wings, where buyers yell "heck, your feathers fall like crazy", "the feathers look bristle", "cardboard is showing", so why!

Because, we know how wings differ from any other accessories.  They deliver a message that no other accessory can.  The wings bring so much joy to a photographer or a parent when they see the baby becomes a true angel in a photo.  They bring so much glamour and envy in others when a costume maker incorporate them into their productions.  That's why we go on, we insist using natural feathers instead of synthetic materials to make real looking and affordable wings for the general market.  So you will find that perfect wings for yourself and transform to an angel instantly. And we don't care others copying our wings styles but are encouraged to create new styles, colors, and sizes. 

Enjoy, the angelic moment, it's magic!
