Veja + Christine Phung

Veja has invited the young French fashion designer Christine Phung to colaborate to the new Veja Tauá collection.



The electric colours and optical sets of stripes on the laces have been inspired by the Pop esthetic.




Ecological leather

The Veja + Christine Phung collection is made with ecological leather. Leather is usually tanned with heavy metals like chrome, which have a toxic effect on the environment and particularly on the rivers. Ecological leather is a chrome-free leather tanned with vegetal compounds. Veja has developped, in Brazil, a chrome-free leather flexible enough to make sneakers.
