Who said leggings couldn't be fabulous?
Meet VELVETA. The unapologetically elevated answer to an everyday essential — where the comfort of stretch velvet meets a beautifully sculpted silhouette and a little unexpected attitude.
Designed to follow the feminine curves, VELVETA sits high on the waist, hugging the body in all the right places. The luxurious stretch velvet feels soft against the skin, while the elasticated waistband makes them as comfortable as they are flattering.
But VELVETA has a little trick up her sleeve.
Or rather, at her ankles.
Chunky statement zips run along the lower legs, opening to create an entirely different silhouette. Leave them closed for a sleek, fitted look, or unzip them over your favourite heels and let the velvet fall around your shoes.
A simple detail that changes everything.
Within HERENCIA, VELVETA plays a very particular role. She is the ultimate wardrobe chameleon — that wonderfully versatile piece you can wear with almost anything.
Under the architectural drama of MONARCA. With the sculptural coats and statement pieces of HERENCIA. Or simply with an oversized shirt, a beautiful top and your favourite shoes.
Because not every piece in a wardrobe needs to demand all the attention. Some pieces make everything else look extraordinary.
And VELVETA does both.
Rich velvet. Feminine curves. A flash of metallic hardware. Effortless comfort with just enough extravagance.
Sexy. Versatile. Unmistakably HERENCIA.
All the comfort of your favourite leggings. Absolutely none of the ordinary.

Style Notes from Fernanda
-VELVETA is my HERENCIA ultimate wardrobe chameleon. The piece I reach for when I want something comfortable, flattering and fabulous without having to think too much about it.
-I absolutely love them with the dramatic coats from HERENCIA. Their fitted silhouette creates the perfect balance against all that structure and volume.
-For evening, wear them with heels and open the ankle zips so the velvet falls beautifully around your shoes. It's such a simple detail, but it completely changes the look.
-Want something more relaxed? Keep the zips closed, add your favourite sneakers and an oversized shirt or knit.
-Don't be afraid of colour! Hot pink, emerald, cobalt blue or red velvet can be just as versatile as black when styled with confidence.
-And if you're someone who loves metallics, the gold and silver Lurex options bring an entirely different personality.
-My favourite thing about VELVETA? You can feel incredibly sexy and completely comfortable at the same time. Why should we have to choose?

-What if the fit is not right?
My "Love it" Guarantee.
I make clothes for women, and after doing it for as long as I have, I know what women love to see and feel when they wear my pieces.
So that's why I have a "Love It" Guarantee, which is -
If you don't love it the instant you see yourself in it, I will help you to find yourself a replacement that does make you feel that way.
Ts & Cs:
The replacement item has to be the same or a greater price as the piece you bought in first place, minor fitting for certain pieces (like the hem) can be included in the price.
Items damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered faulty. However, where possible, I will be happy to repair your much-loved pieces for a cost according to the job that needs to be done.
To be exchanged, (within the first 10 days after you received your order) garments must be in perfect condition, unused, with tags still on, so be careful when trying on, particularly around strong scents or pet hair. Returned items that are damaged, soiled, altered or no longer with a product tag attached will not be accepted and will be returned to you.
All shipping costs for returning your pieces are your expenses and are non-refundable.
I strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance as unfortunately I can’t guarantee that I will receive your returned item.
Colours may vary depending on your computer monitor, so we cannot guarantee your monitor’s display of any colour will be completely accurate.

🛍️ What does "preorder" mean?
Preordering means you’re securing a piece that’s not yet made.
It gives you access to special launch pricing and ensures your garment is crafted especially for you — not pulled from a rack.
💫 Here’s how it works:
1. You get 10% off during the preorder window
Each piece is available at 10% off for 7 days only.
After that, the price returns to full retail.
No code needed — the discount is already applied during those days.
2. Your piece is made just for you
All my garments are handcrafted with care in Melbourne.
Please allow 4–6 weeks for production, depending on fabric and details.
3. We ship worldwide — for free
Once your order is ready, We’ll email you with a tracking number.
We ship via Australia Post, and yes — international shipping is free.
👗 What if it doesn’t fit?
For standard size preorders ( without any custom adjustments )Â I offer exchanges or can make fit adjustments if needed.
And in rare cases, if the piece doesn't spark you to you,  I do accept returns — as long as the piece is unworn, unwashed, and in perfect condition.
For custom or made-to-measure pieces, I don’t offer returns or exchanges — since they’re created just for you.
But I’m always happy to make any fit tweaks needed to ensure it feels perfect.
