Radical Transparency · Autumn Winter 2026

Exceptional Quality.
Radical Transparency.

We partner with the best ethical ateliers in Paris. We source pure 40mm double silk from Lake Como. And we show you exactly what it costs to make. No traditional 5x luxury markup.

The True Cost of Luxury

We Believe You Have The Right To Know

Traditional luxury brands mark up their garments 5 to 8 times the true cost of production. At VELAIRE, we reveal our exact itemized costs from fiber to doorstep.

Itemized Cost · The Aurelia Halter Gown
Materials (100% Como Double Silk Georgette) $620.00
Hardware & Hand-Lacquered Trim $180.00
Labor (18 Hours Master Atelier Tailoring, Paris) $740.00
Dutiable Air Freight & Insurance $120.00
True Cost to Produce $1,660.00
Our Fair Price
$2,850
Traditional Luxury Retail: $5,800+

Our markup covers ethical atelier wages, carbon-neutral shipping, and modest operations — never multi-million-dollar celebrity marketing campaigns.
