About
Veja means “look” in Portuguese. It’s a name that came about after Veja’s founders, Sebastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion, took a look behind the curtain of the sneaker industry and decided they could do better than the status quo. They realized that by skipping the marketing costs of bigger brands, they could build Veja sneakers from organic cotton canvas, sustainable leather, wild rubber, and mesh from upcycled plastic bottles. They could offer fairer pay for workers and attain a B-Corp certification for sustainability. In other words, they could make shoes that are better in every way: for the planet, for the people who make them, and for the person wearing them, too. Since launching the first pair of Veja shoes in 2005, the brand has done exactly that, and the company now boasts a wide lineup of stylish, sustainably made footwear.
