Cashmere is obtained from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats. It is prized for its exceptional softness, lightweight warmth and fine fibres, making it one of the most valued natural materials in luxury knitwear and tailoring.

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.
