Suede is made from the underside of the leather previously brushed to make it softer and more flexible.
It comes from the Rio Grande do Sul farms. It is tanned in Brazil, respecting the REACH norms.
Special attention is paid to water usage during the tanning process. The suede is coated with water-repellent oils to protect the shoes from light rain.
The tanneries that work with VEJA are certified by the Leather Working Group.
Made in Brazil.
