My connection to sheepskin has always been instinctive.
There is something undeniably special about it. The warmth, the depth of the fleece, and the softness that instantly transforms a space into something more inviting and considered. It was this fascination that led me to begin working with it by hand, starting with a simple sewing machine and a curiosity to explore what it could become.
What began as quiet experimentation soon evolved into something far more meaningful. Early pieces, including sheepskin hot water bottle covers, found their way into homes and brought a sense of comfort that resonated deeply. From there, the journey naturally unfolded.
The turning point came with a rug made for myself.
Stepping onto that dense, plush Merino pile shifted everything. It revealed the true potential of sheepskin, not just as a material, but as a statement of texture, warmth, and refined living. From that moment, the direction was clear.
Today, Vello Studio creates custom rugs using premium Australian Merino sheepskin, carefully selected for its exceptional softness, depth, and natural character. Each piece is thoughtfully composed and individually finished, allowing the inherent beauty of the material to lead.
No two rugs are ever the same. That is precisely the point.
Every piece carries its own variation, its own texture, and its own presence within a space.
We welcome conversation. Understanding where a piece will live is part of the process and part of what makes each rug feel considered and personal.
At its core, Vello Studio is built on a simple belief. When something feels this naturally soft, this grounded, and this refined, it belongs in everyday living.
