Naming pieces
A name, never a code. Every Velari piece arrives with a character of its own.
لكلّ قطعةٍ اسم، لا رقم.
The rule
Each piece is given a name, never a code
So every fabric arrives with its own story. A name gives the piece a character, a special persona like our clients.
How to name
Six rules
One or two words
Short enough for a hang tag and a WhatsApp message.
Bilingual by birth
Choose names that live in English and Arabic, with an agreed spelling for each.
From the night
Draw from stars, night, light and the hours around dusk and dawn.
Never reused
A name belongs to one piece. Archive it when the piece is gone.
No codes or numbers
Internal codes stay internal: never on tags, posts or invoices to clients.
Easy to say
Read it aloud in both languages before you approve it.
