Fair Trade Sneakers

Veja [French site] claims to be the fist footwear brand to create fair trade sneakers, and it’s the only one we can think of. The label uses organic cotton and wild Amazon rubber, and the shoes are manufactured in Brazil in cooperation with living wage regulations. The current fall/winter collection is the label’s first, and the brand’s website just launched this week. Veja is carried exclusively in the US at Scout in Los Angeles, which you can reach by telephone at (323) 658-8684.
