Urca Sneaker

C.W.L. : Cotton Worked as Leather.
This material is a vegan alternative to leather. A 100% organic cotton canvas, coated with P.U., corn starch and ricinus oil. 54% bio-based.

Coming from the State of São Paulo in Jacareí, this suede is a 100% vegan synthetic textile and an alternative to animal-produced suede. It is a nonwoven fabric made of microfibers that are needle-punched together and impregnated with P.U. resin. This solvent-free process is less toxic than the ones used to produce classic synthetics suedes.

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. This rubber was certified in 2019 thanks to the support of VEJA to improve the living conditions of the rubber tappers and protect the Amazonian forest.
