About the Brand

VEJA uses Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton for the canvas and laces, Amazonian rubber for the soles, and various innovative materials made from recycled plastic bottles or recycled polyester.

VEJA sneakers are produced in high-standard factories in Brazil and Portugal.

The organic cotton used at VEJA is grown by farmer's associations in Brazil and Peru who harvest it with respect for people and the environment.

One of the main raw materials for VEJA is Amazonian rubber. Since 2007, VEJA has been working with Amopreab, which coordinates rubber production and pays the seringueiros in the Chico Mendes Reserve.
