There’s a quiet revolution unfolding at VELA, and it begins with a whisper of sakura and a ripple of carefully woven cotton. This Spring, VELA unveils a capsule that feels more like a love letter than a launch; a romantic homage to Japan’s Hanami season, where every piece blooms in soft pastels, textural nuance, and sartorial serenity. 

Here’s your insider scoop on VELA’s latest apparel drop, handpicked by us - what to wear, how to style it, and exactly why these pieces deserve a place in your wardrobe.

The Oat Milk Knit Set

Soft structure. Clean palette. Quiet luxury.

There’s an ease to this set that makes it an instant staple. The Oat Milk Checkered Knit Co-Ord is built around contrast. Tailored but comfortable, neutral but never dull. 

The cardigan hits that perfect longline length that flatters without overwhelming, and the flare on the pants adds shape without drama. This tone of beige plays well with nearly everything, but we like it best kept simple: tonal layers, a soft hijab in a warm floral print, and minimal accessories. 

Best paired with: Honey Shadow Blossom scarf, gold Sakura Charm, and soft leather slides.

Wear it for: Slow mornings, quiet days at the office, dinner after sunset.

Style note: Belt the cardigan for more structure or wear it open over a slip dress. It’s the kind of piece that adapts to your routine without asking for much.

The Raven Knit Set

More defined. Still effortless.

If Oat Milk is your everyday soft neutral, Raven is its sharper counterpart. The black-on-black checkered texture brings depth to an otherwise minimal silhouette. It's polished but doesn’t feel rigid; something you can throw on and still look intentional. The flare pants bring balance, especially when paired with more fitted layers on top.

We like it styled with a monochrome hijab or soft grey for contrast, and pulled-together accessories: low heels, a structured mini bag, silver jewelry. 

Best paired with: Earl Grey Woven scarf, silver Natural Pearl Hoops, and pointed flats.

Wear it for: Evening events, creative meetings, casual Fridays that might turn into plans.

Style note: If you wear the cardigan solo and buttoned, it reads almost like a top. Layer on a scarf with sheen or texture to elevate the look without adding bulk.

Why This Apparel Drop Matters

VELA made a deliberate choice this season: fewer pieces, done exceptionally well. Instead of following the noise of fast fashion, this drop focuses on intentional design and minimal production. A conscious decision to honor ethical practices and small-batch craftsmanship.

The two knit sets are more than just seasonal additions. With inclusive sizing, a breathable cotton-viscose blend, and thoughtful tailoring, they’re built to last, and to evolve with your wardrobe. Pieces to rewear, restyle, and rely on.

In a market driven by trends and excess, VELA’s Spring knits offer something quieter: long-term value, considered design, and a commitment to doing things differently.
