Eco-friendly Sneaker Experts

• Veja: a classic. A sneaker brand that has existed since 2005 and whose project is part of an environmental approach. The brand uses organic Brazilian and Peruvian cotton for the canvas and laces. Amazonian rubber for the soles and various innovative materials made from recycled plastic bottles and polyester. The plus that makes the difference is that VEJA sneakers are produced in Brazil in factories that respect the rights and conditions of their employees, while promoting social and professional integration.

• Saye: organic shoes made in Europe, organic and vegan. For every pair of sneakers sold, the company commits to planting two trees. Since 2018, it has been committed to fighting deforestation.

• Panafrica: a fashion brand that is both stylish and committed! As its name suggests, it draws inspiration from Africa (where it produces) for the design of its shoes. The brand's project is simple: to produce differently in an eco-responsible, sustainable and virtuous way.

• N’go shoes: Since 2017, the brand has been manufacturing sneakers and backpacks with a fair trade approach. It prioritizes sourcing local, vegan, and recycled raw materials. Solidarity is also very important to them, which is why they have funded the construction of several schools in Vietnam.
• Subtle: A family business created by two French-Belgian cousins who had the idea of launching vegan and eco-friendly sneakers. All parts of the shoe come from the same place to minimize their carbon footprint. In addition, the company is committed to planting a tree for every order placed.
• Le Lissier : discover these original shoes made from upholstery fabric scraps using the Upcycling principle. The brand's founder sources the fabrics for her future collections from flea markets and clearance warehouses. Produced in a family workshop in Portugal, the production is completely responsible and artisanal. 

Sneakers and much more

• Minuit sur terre: if you're a fan of leather shoes, but want to find a more ecological alternative, you'll love this brand! It offers shoes designed from recycled polyester, materials made from cereals and other eco-responsible materials.
• Faguo: a French company founded in 2008 specializing in clothing and footwear. Faguo shoes are designed from recycled materials to reduce our environmental impact. In addition, the brand makes it a point of honor to reduce its CO2 emissions by using 100% renewable energy. They also use recycled and recyclable packaging.

• Caruus : combining fashion and ecology? Yes, it's possible! This brand offers super trendy and recyclable shoes made in France from bio-sourced or recycled materials. The founders make it a point of honor to offer quality products that have the longest possible lifespan.

• Être Amis: a young French brand that produces shoes from pre-existing materials. Here too, the brand uses upcycling by recovering leather and heels, as well as dormant stock designs to create its own models.
