In 2013, Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillon, the founders of VEJA, opened the Centre Commercial Kids in Paris. From the start, this store was more than just a shop — it became a meeting place for fashion, design and sustainable innovation.

The aim was to create a space in which inspiration and passions come together, while promoting visionary projects that others often find impossible.

‍

With over 100 events and collaborations in the first thirteen years, Centre Commercial proof that well-designed clothing is compatible with respect for people and the environment.

One of these early collaborations was with BigStuffed.

Known for their oversized plush toys, the brand transformed Centre Commercial Kids into a true play oasis. Ten years later, VEJA and BigStuffed are teaming up again – this time with an exclusive shoe collection for children and babies.

The collection includes two unisex suede and fleece models:

The V-10 children's shoe is made of fleece and brushed suede. The baby model features a fleece lining, a brushed top and a soft leather sole

Both models are Fairtrade certified and reflect the philosophy of VEJA and Centre Commercial: To combine aesthetic design with sustainable and social principles.

VEJA sneakers are available online at 43einhalb, AFEW-Store, Allike, Asphaltgold, Der Stall, Fortytree, HHV, Jumpnshoez, Scoop86, SneakerTwins and SUPPA.
