Amanda Gallagher is the creative talent behind Tinbox Angel, assisted by her husband, Paul, who joined the business in 2020. She comes from a family of professional upholsterers. “My mum, dad, grandparents and two of my uncles all worked in the industry”, she explains. “My grandparents ran a furniture shop with my uncle for many years and every summer I would spend days there.” In 1983 Amanda’s parents moved to Lancaster, where her mother had been brought up, and opened a furniture shop in Caton called Royal Upholstery. Amanda adds, “I knew early on into learning to sew that I had the family gene. I was obsessed with making things, and I had a real passion for making bags.”
