Pink that flutters at your feet

ESPLAR EXTRA WHITE BABE sneakers accented with a slightly dull pink V logo and panels. The balance between the base white and the soft pink color is good and gives an elegant impression. It's a cute sneaker, but it's a pair that adults can wear without being embarrassed.

By the way, the name ESPLAR was named after a Brazilian NGO that provides technical support to organic cotton farmers. It's a name typical of VEJA, who are thoroughly particular about the ingredients and value the producers.

Environmentally friendly material selection

This sneaker is just a little bit special. It's not from a famous brand or trendy, but you can see where it's made and what's behind it. The materials used are eco-friendly such as organic cotton, and are procured through fair trade. Many people are involved in a pair of sneakers in front of you. You can feel that with the sneakers from the French brand VEJA.

The cowhide used for the upper comes from farms in Uruguay, known for its livestock and leather quality. It does not use harmful chemicals in tanning, and has cleared the strict standards of LWG (Leather Working Group), an international organization that conducts enlightenment activities on leather quality, safety, and environmental issues. You can feel the VEJA likeness from the selection of materials. The leather is moderately soft and light, and does not put a strain on your feet.

Sneakers that show the background of manufacturing

VEJA means "to see" in Portuguese. A sneaker brand from France that asks the question, "What is on the 'other side' of shoes?" Shoes are worn out, but VEJA has special materials and a production background where you can see the creators, and there are encounters and stories between people.

In general, rubber farmers sell rubber itself, and primary products have low added value. We have a way to get you paid. In addition, it is said that the raw material rubber is refined on the same day it is collected, resulting in a high-quality rubber product. Natural rubber is mixed with a coagulant, filtered, and made into a sheet within an hour of collection, which prevents oxidation of the rubber, increases its purity, and makes it more comfortable to wear.

VEJA also has a vision for the future that eventually aims to manage a series of production processes such as raising and processing cattle in-house. In addition, we use organic cotton grown in northern Brazil for the cotton material used in the insoles and parts, and procure cotton from farmers in Ceara, northern Brazil, in accordance with fair trade rules. Furthermore, with organic cotton materials, we manufacture and supply products within a reasonable range of annual production of 15 tons without excess inventory.
