Hi Kat:

You might consider asking some of your local eco-boutiques to start carrying Veja sneaks. See this link for eco-shopping in your neck of the woods: http://tinyurl.com/2ham93

And you can always call our friends at Ekovaruhuset here in NYC @ tel. 212-673-1753, and perhaps they can ship to you (though perhaps not so footprint friendly!)

Thanks for reading,

Abigail @ Inhabitat

[...] Ooohhh, baby, I love these sneakers. “Veja is a Paris-based company producing all of their collections in Brasil. Both the children’s and adult’s shoes are made from “natural” latex rubber, vegetable-tanned leather, and organic cotton. (Wild rubber trees are only found in the Amazon and supporting wild latex production helps to prevent deforestation.) Veja also goes to great lengths to use locally sourced organic cotton. In addition to doing business in total eco-style, they are big supporters of two Brazilian cooperatives of small producers. Veja’s sustainable style for sneaks not only makes another world possible but also turns the seemingly impossible into a positive endeavor.” Source: Inhabitat [...]
