Mirela Dumitru — the visionary founder behind VELANTE Officiale, a brand synonymous with luxury, innovation, and personal expression. Established in 2019 under the concept of "personal luxury," this brand redefined the market by transforming phone cases into indispensable fashion accessories. For Mirela, this venture is not just a business but an art form that reflects individuality in every product. As she puts it: "Our products whisper, ‘This is made for you.’"

 

I. VELANTE: The Origin Story and Distinctive Features 

Mirela Dumitru drew inspiration for VELANTE from her daughters’ quest to match phone cases with their outfits. The brand quickly gained attention through its use of exotic leathers (crocodile, python leather ) and personalization services. Each product can be uniquely customized with names, initials, or zodiac symbols, elevating VELANTE beyond functionality into a statement of "personal luxury."

 

Notable Fact: 

• VELANTE customers are deeply loyal to the brand, drawn to a luxury experience that goes beyond accessories—each piece is a sensory journey.

II. Global Success During the Pandemic: Turning Challenges into Inspiration 

Facing the 2020 pandemic, Mirela pivoted to an online sales strategy, bypassing physical stores. This decision fueled VELANTE’s rapid expansion across Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East. However, scaling globally posed two key challenges: 

1. Preserving quality over quantity (limiting production volumes).  

2. Maintaining exclusivity worldwide (curating region-specific collections).  

Mirela overcame these hurdles with her philosophy: "We don’t mass-produce luxury — we personalize it."

III. Mirela Dumitru’s Business Philosophy: Risk, Innovation, Customer 

For Mirela, success rests on three pillars: 

1. Embracing risk: "Comfort zones are the enemy of innovation."

2. Balancing aesthetics and functionality: Every design merges fashion trends with technological durability.  

3. Pursuing excellence in customer satisfaction, VELANTE elevates the unboxing experience with exclusive gift packaging—where every piece tells its own story.

Statistic: 

• 92% of customers rate the brand as "exceptional in service and quality".
