Material & Sourcing
Sustainable sourcing
Guided by the principle of khalifa (stewardship), we prioritize sustainability from the source. Our fabrics are crafted with care from fabric mills and hand-dyed in southern India using natural, biodegradable dyes. This process creates vibrant, skin-tone-friendly hues while reducing water use and harmful toxins, making each piece as kind to the Earth as it is beautiful.
Ethical labor
At VELA, we partner exclusively with Fair Trade-certified organizations, ensuring artisans receive fair wages, work in safe and clean conditions, and have protected rights. Each piece reflects our commitment to adl (justice) and the highest standards of worker well-being.
Transparent values
Transparency, rooted in the Islamic principle of sidq (truthfulness), guides everything we do. We proudly share the journey of your VELA product, from ethical sourcing to artisan craftsmanship. By valuing integrity and sustainability, we create fashion that cares for people and the planet, building trust at every step.
