Veja" brand
The natural rubber for the soles of Veja sneakers is obtained in the Amazon region from the Seringueros, who live there from and in the rainforests without harming them. The cotton is planted and harvested in the north-east of Brazil under the strictest fair trade guidelines. And the sneakers are manufactured and sewn in the south. On arrival in French Europe, a social reintegration organization takes care of the logistics, storage and shipping of the shoes.
