VEJA: Beyond leather?
Written by Fashion TalesBeyond leather? For SS19, VEJA introduces the Campo made out of the «corn waste» based material (C.W.L). Since we started VEJA in 2005, we are always looking for new sustainable and more ecological raw materials.
Our obsession: How can we improve the way we make sneakers?
Going beyond leather
After 5 years of R&D and many failures to find an ecological substitute for leather, we finally found a revolutionary fabric. Developed by an Italian company, C.W.L. is a bio-sourced material, made from a waxed canvas with 50% corn waste from the food industry.
As a result, this leather alternative is a 63% biodegradable fabric. Its look and touch is comparable to leather.

It opens a new exciting path for VEJA : a new sneaker that is going beyond leather.
