B-Mesh is made out of 100% recycled polyester, coming from recycled plastic bottles shredded into flakes and then transformed into fibers in a Brazilian factory. Three plastic bottles are needed to make one pair of VEJA. B-Mesh is a light, breathable and water-repellent fabric.

The T.P.U., ThermoPlastic Polyurethane, is a film glued on the sneaker. It provides additional seamless reinforcement, yet is very light.
