THESTORY
Va Vela in urdu means noise, pandemonium, much ado about something, but we derive a slightly different meaning from it. Va Vela for us is paying homage to the magic that happens when people and thoughts get together. When either the toughest times or the happiest moments culminate in a house full of family and friends, when there is chaos and noise but also emotion and soul. When it is loud and you find yourself unable to think, but in the aftermath you are left with something raw and beautiful.
“This brand is one of collaboration; with artisans, with fellow designers, artists and poets. It brings joy in togetherness, it stirs the soul with nostalgia, familiarity and always history. With Va Vela we hope to tell you many many stories of passion and craft.”
