Veja! Pronounced "Vey-ja" with a roll of the "j," the company was founded in the early 2000s in Paris and was the world's very first sustainable sneaker brand, with materials ethically sourced from Brazil. All sneakers are made there, too! (Fun fact: The Portuguese-Brazilian translation of the word Veja is "look," meaning to look beyond the sneaker; look how they're *made.*) Celebrities were quick to sport the signature "V" logo, but the company really caught the attention of the world when Emma Watson wore the sneakers in 2016 and Megan Markle wore 'em in 2018. The shoes' sleek, minimalist design and the importance the company placed on transparency, ethical sourcing and social responsibility were a winning combination. The brand's dedication to sustainability is why the price tag is high, but deals can totally be found for both new and pre-loved sneakers via @eBay. And my feeling is that the company would definitely approve of buying pre-loved given that they're so aware of their environmental footprint!
