Nubuck is made from grain leather. The upper part of the skin, which has the thickest fibres makes it soft, resistant and highly qualitative. This part is grinded or scraped to give it a soft and velvety appearance.
Nubuck leather is traced during the whole process. It is also coated with water-repellent oils to protect the sneakers from light rain.
The tanneries working with VEJA are certified by the Leather Working Group.
Flannel is a 100% recycled fabric brushed to create extra softness (70% recycled cotton, 30% recycled plastic bottles)..
