Fashion Fix: Sustainable Trainers with Veja

Can our footwear reduce our carbon footprint? Model Charli Howard learns how one brand is stepping up to that challenge.In a pre-lockdown chat, Charli hears from François-Ghislain Morillion- one half of the sneaker head brains behind Veja. With one foot in France and one foot in Brazil, the brand’s shoes are made using wild rubber sourced from the Amazon Rainforest. Their distinctive V logo has been spotted on famous feet, from Meghan Markle to Eddie Redmayne. Charli asks whether they can take further steps towards sustainability and, in a world producing 24.2 billion pairs of shoes each year, how we can all walk the walk towards more sustainable consumption.Presenter: Charli Howard Producer: Kirsty McQuire Editor: Rebecca StratfordImage: Presenter Charli Howard holding up a pair of trainers (model's own)
