About Me
Hi, I’m Debra Furtado, founder of Velara.
What began as a love for beautiful spaces and meaningful moments grew into a passion for creating candles that do more than simply fragrance a room—they create an atmosphere. I believe the soft glow of a candle has the power to slow time, encourage connection, and turn everyday routines into memorable rituals.
Inspired by timeless design, natural beauty, and my Azorean heritage, I set out to build a brand that embodies elegance, warmth, and intentional living. Every Velara candle is thoughtfully crafted with premium ingredients and hand-poured in small batches to ensure exceptional quality and attention to detail.
For me, luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about simplicity, craftsmanship, and creating something that brings peace and beauty into your home.
