How did Angelus start?Updated 6 days ago
Paul T. Angelos, a Greek immigrant, founded Angelus in Los Angeles in 1907. He started at a shoeshine stand, began making his own polish, and built the company that his family still runs five generations later.
After decades in Culver City, Angelus moved to a larger plant in Santa Fe Springs, California, where its paint, dye, and polish are made today. As sneaker culture grew, customizers made Angelus leather paint their go-to, and Angelus Direct brought the full line online.
