Veja

Veja is a global French sustainable footwear brand for men and women. They are a certified B-Corp, ensuring their commitment to sustainable and ethical practices throughout their products’ life cycles. The sneaker canvas is made from organic, agroecological and fair trade cotton. The soles use wild Amazonian rubber, and recycled plastic bottles make up 100% of the mesh. Many of their fabrics are made of recycled material that would otherwise be trashed by the fashion industry: recycled jute, polyester and cotton are some of these materials. Veja has also introduced a line of vegan shoes as an alternative to its leather offerings. These sneakers are instead made of materials such as B-Mesh, biodegradable CWL material from corn waste, synthetic suede and organic cotton. The Spring/Summer 2019 collection was overall 40% vegan. The company also partners with Ateliers sans Frontieres, which provides both rehabilitation and permanent jobs for those otherwise excluded from the workforce. The overall end result is a sleek, simple sneaker a wearer can feel good about walking in.
