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.

Denim is a durable cotton fabric woven in a twill construction, traditionally with indigo-dyed warp yarns and undyed weft yarns. Originally developed for workwear, it is now used across a wide range of garments, from jeans and jackets to shirts and dresses. Its strength, longevity and ability to develop character with wear have made it one of the most enduring fabrics in fashion.

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.
