Suede is the back of cowhide that is shaved to give it a soft, supple appearance. It comes from farms in Rio Grande do Sul. It is tanned in Brazil without dangerous or prohibited chemicals. VEJA uses dyes that comply with standards. Water is used sparingly during the tanning process. This suede is then coated with water-repellent oils without PFCs (chemical compounds) to protect the sneakers from light rain. The suede is certified Silver by the Leather Working Group.
