Veja V10 Vegan CWL Sneaker WhiteCalifornia Fashion

Since 2005, VEJA has been creating sneakers in a different way, mixing social projects, economic justice, and ecological materials. VEJA uses Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton for the canvas and laces, Amazonian rubber for the soles, and various innovative materials conceived in recycled plastic bottles or recycled polyester.

These Veja V-10s have an upper made up of CWL, (Cotton Worked as Leather), a vegan alternative to leather.

The panels are made up of C.W.L., vegan suede and coated canvas. Coming from the State of São Paulo in Jacareí, this suede is a 100% vegan synthetic textile and an alternative to animal-produced suede. It is a nonwoven fabric made of microfibers that are needle-punched together and impregnated with P.U. resin. This solvent-free process is less toxic than the ones used to produce classic synthetics suedes.
