For those looking for the perfect casual sneaker, there’s no brand more recognized than Veja. In its 20-year history, the Parisian brand has released numerous types of shoes – from everyday sneakers to even hiking options. Now, the brand is looking toward a new chapter with the launch of its first-ever sandal. True to the brand’s style, the sandal is understated and subtle, with no flashy accents or prints. Using footwear technology similar to their sneakers, the new Veja sandal is stylish and practical for summer adventures. While there’s no telling how many sandal releases are in Veja’s future, its first launch is easily set to be a must-have shoe for the season. 

Veja enters the sandal game with a new release

Named Etna, the first sandal in Veja’s line-up is anything but an ordinary flip-flop. The two-strap design utilizes premium suede farmed in Rio Grande do Sul and goes through a tanning process in Brazil without the use of hazardous materials or chemicals. While a lightweight sandal, Etna also uses an Amazonian rubber sole, the same material found in the brand’s famed sneakers. Each sandal is also lined with EVA insoles, a flexible plastic material. The Etna Suede Sandal comes in Taupe Almond, Kaki Black, Safarian Almond, Pierre Almond, and Acai Black. The Etna sandal can also be found in a black leather option that uses organic leather sourced from farms in Uruguay. The sandal’s suede options retail for $130, while the leather choice retails for $135. All Veja sandal options are now available on the brand’s webstore and select retailers.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
