Meet Angel’s Family-Owned Drapery Lining Distributors

What a crazy world we live in; with one click of a button you can place an order, chat with a company’s AI representative, or compare products across a multitude of options. When you finally do decide, you are now choosing to work with a company that either measures success by transactions or by the relationships built.

Since day one, Angel’s has believed that business begins with great relationships. As a family-owned drapery lining distributor, we’ve spent nearly 50 years supplying quality drapery linings, blackout linings, interlinings, and workroom supplies while building lasting relationships with workrooms, designers, fabricators, and upholsterers across the country. 

Angel’s Distributing Inc. was founded many years ago by Anthony, Ralph, & Karen Angel. In those days, there were just three family members calling customers from a phone book, receiving shipments at the basement door, and sending invoices written by hand.

Today, with over 45,000 sq ft of warehousing space filled with drapery linings, blackout linings, interlinings, workroom supplies, and more, our business operations have changed a bit but our belief that customers should be treated like family is the one philosophy that will never change.

Meet The Angel’s Distributing Family

Anthony Angel  |  First – Generation Founder

Anthony Angel made his path utilizing real life experiences, proving that wisdom isn’t earned solely in a classroom. He believed that regardless of the industry or the challenge, the customer always comes first. His legacy extends far beyond the business he helped build. His wisdom, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to mentoring others to greatness continues to inspire every generation of the Angel family.

Ralph Angel  |  Second – Generation Founder

For nearly five decades, Ralph has dedicated himself to understanding the needs of his customers, recognizing the difficulties they face, and ensuring Angel’s delivers the quality drapery linings, dependable service, and knowledgeable support that workrooms, fabricators, and upholsterers can count on. His passion for treating people like family and keeping business simple continues to influence every decision the company makes to this day.

Karen Angel  |  Second – Generation Founder

Karen has always believed that the smallest gestures can make the biggest impact, which is why today every drapery lining bolt arrives with a Tootsie Pop tucked inside. Her heart for people, dedication to quality, and unwavering attention to detail has helped shape the family-first culture and trusted reputation that continues to define the Angel’s difference.

Taylor Angel  |  Third – Generation / Vice President

Taylor is no stranger to this business; she grew up in it. After working through nearly every department and learning what it takes to be successful in each role, she gained a deep appreciation for every aspect of the company. Today, she oversees vendor relationships, product sourcing, imports, and long-term growth initiatives while staying committed to preserving the family values her parents instilled in her from the age of two.

Niko Angel  |  Third – Generation / Director of Operations

Niko also grew up watching his parents build the family business on genuine care for the customers they served. Today he is the driving force behind the day-to-day operations that keep Angel’s running smoothly. From supporting employees to serving customers, he works behind the scenes to ensure every drapery lining order, process, and customer relationship reflects the company’s commitment to excellence.

The Angel family may be the face of the company, but the heartbeat of Angel’s is the incredible team that works alongside us every day. From customer service and sales to shipping and operations, each team member is an essential part of the family and we wouldn’t be where we are today without them.

As a family, Angel’s Distributing has experienced tremendous growth over the years, but our greatest accomplishment isn’t the business we’ve built, it’s the opportunity to build it together as a family. Today, a fourth generation is already growing up around the same values and experiences that shaped those before them. While the future will undoubtedly look very different, our foundation never will. Genuine customer service is becoming increasingly rare, we believe the principles that support integrity, strong relationships, and treating customers like family will never go out of style. Whether customers purchase drapery linings by the cut, bolt, or case, they receive the same family-first service that has defined Angel’s for nearly five decades and these are the core values the next generation will proudly be carrying forward.
