Who is behind Veja?
Reinventing the sneaker from scratch: that was the goal of the two Frenchmen François-Ghislain Morillion and Sébastien Kopp when they decided to found their own brand in 2003. Two years later, they launched Veja, which means "Look!" in Portuguese. The Veja sneaker for men was intended to be fair and sustainable – from raw material to distribution. With its cool and thoughtful design, Veja has succeeded in being contemporary and seasonless, as here too the idea of sustainability comes into play: the sneakers should still appeal to their owners after ten years.
Before founding Veja, Morillion and Kopp visited a conventional textile factory in China, and for them, it was clear: they wanted to create their own product in a way that completely revised the previous approach: it was supposed to be produced under fair conditions and with regenerative resources. They chose a symbol of their generation: the sneaker. At the same time, a product that reflects globalization in many facets - in production, distribution, and use. Kopp and Morillion wanted nothing less than a complete rethink – a small revolution. They visited rubber plantations in Brazil, found cotton farms and production facilities where they could ensure fair pay and good working conditions. Of course, this method of production is costly, but by eschewing any marketing, all resources are invested in material and craftsmanship.
