The History of VEJA
Founders Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion were already searching for suitable, ecological materials before the release of the first VEJA sneaker.
It was after the pair traveled to northern Brazil and struck up conversations with local rubber tappers that the source of their sustainable materials began to fall into place.
The contacts made while they were traveling became incredibly valuable, and laid the foundation for the brand's sustainable production process.
It was in 2006 when VEJA's first collection was presented in Paris, in collaboration with Fresh designer Agnès b.
The brand quickly gained momentum, and in recent years, VEJA has collaborated with designers such as Rick Owens, Marni, Emir Shiro and Make My Lemonade.
