The label Veja (meaning "look" in Portuguese) was founded in 2003 by Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion. Their goal is to keep the ecological footprint as low as possible. The Veja sneakers are manufactured in high-quality factories in Brazil and Portugal. The raw materials for all Veja sneakers are made from organic cotton, natural rubber, and vegetable-tanned leather. The upper material of the Urca CWL is made from cotton with a coating of polyurethane, corn starch, and castor oil, making it the perfect vegan alternative to leather. The removable insole provides excellent comfort throughout the day. The padded collar additionally offers stability. Logo details on the side and on the heel cap perfectly complete the stylish look. Whether you pair the shoes with jeans or casual trousers, you can be sure to always look good.
