Cotton is a natural fibre valued for its breathability, softness and durability. Comfortable across a wide range of climates, it is one of the most widely used fibres in clothing and can be woven into fabrics ranging from crisp poplin to soft jersey.

Corduroy is a durable woven fabric characterised by its distinctive raised ribs, known as wales. Traditionally associated with workwear and country clothing, it combines softness, warmth and texture, making it particularly well suited to cooler seasons.

Founded in Milan in 2013 by Enrico Casati and Jacopo Sebastio, Velasca specialises in Italian-made footwear crafted by family-run workshops. The brand focuses on timeless design, traditional shoemaking techniques and direct-to-consumer pricing, later expanding into clothing and accessories while maintaining its emphasis on quality craftsmanship.
