The History of VEJA

Before the release of the first VEJA sneaker, founders Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion were already searching for suitable, ecological materials.

In 2004, the duo traveled to northern Brazil where they struck up conversations with local rubber tappers.

The contacts Kopp and Morillion made while traveling were very valuable and laid the foundation for VEJA's production process.

In 2006, VEJA's first collection was shown in Paris in collaboration with French designer Agnès b.

In recent years, the sneaker brand has also collaborated with names such as Rick Owens, Marni, Emir Shiro and Make My Lemonade.
