Company Overview
The headquarters of the Velasca is in Milan. We are currently a team of roughly forty people, half in the office and the other half in our stores, which are known as ‘Botteghe’ based both in Italy and abroad. Velasca is a company made for those who do not want to follow trends every six months but are looking for a timeless style which never goes out of fashion. Our customers want the know-how handed down from father to son and a company able to create hand-made shoes that last over time because they have been made with that Italian passion and a wealth of knowledge which has built up over the years. We are different from traditional shoe brands because we do not use distributors and retailers. This means there is no intermediary between us and the final consumer. This is why you can only find the Velasca at Velasca. In this way, we are able to offer great quality products at affordable prices.
We put together two very different worlds: the tradition of Italian craftsmanship and the innovation of the digital world.
