The suede is made from the underside of cowhide leather that has been previously brushed to make it softer and more flexible. It comes from farms in the south of Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul). It is tanned in Brazil, without using dangerous or banned chemicals. VEJA uses conventional dyes that comply with regulations. Special attention is paid to water consumption during the tanning process. The suede is also coated with water-repellent oils without PFCs (chemical compounds) to protect the sneakers from light rain.
