Vela is a women-owned modest fashion label that began in 2009. Co-founders Marwa and Tasneem Atik spotted a gap in the market for headwear that was both stylish and comfortable, and built the brand around original designs that speak to a wide and varied audience. Silk scarves, cashmere scarves and pashmina shawls form the core of the range, all made with an eye on comfort, sustainability and responsible production. Community support and individuality run through the way the company works, which aims to give women fashionable choices while keeping production practices ethical.
Shoppers can pay with Visa, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Discover, Afterpay and Venmo. Vela also sells digital gift cards on its official store, priced from 25 to 500 USD, with no expiration date and no hidden fees.
Returns are accepted within 30 days, provided items come back unworn, unwashed and in their original packaging with every tag still attached. A $5 handling charge is deducted from the refund, which is issued to the original payment method.
Standard delivery of scarves is free once an order meets the value threshold: U.S. customers qualify on orders over £37, and international orders above £110 also qualify. The company keeps accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and TikTok, and runs a rewards scheme in which shoppers earn 1 point for every $1 spent.
