Which is more impressive: Veja’s array of ethically made shoes, or the fact that the brand’s name literally means “Look” in Portuguese? Either way, we love both almost as much as we love the V-15 high-top trainers. Crafted from smooth leather, they’re stacked on an Amazonian rubber, rice waste and recycled rubber sole, kitted out with organic-cotton laces and lined with a comfy organic-cotton and recycled-polyester blend. Seriously, what’s not to love?
A cult destination for trainers, VEJA is a sustainability success story. Sourcing natural rubber directly from farmers in the Amazon rainforest, VEJA prides itself on transparency, fair trade practices and ecologically-minded agriculture, ‘infusing each stage of production with a positive impact’. Proof that style and a social conscience can co-exist.
As the sustainable fashion movement gathers pace, we’re shining a light on the individual pieces with eco credentials, whether that’s lower-impact natural fabrics like linen, lyocell and organic cotton, recycled fibres, or more planet-friendly manufacturing techniques. If it’s greener, it’s here.
