IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE WELL DRESSED IN CHEAP SHOES

Social responsibility and because life is too short for ugly shoes. Seriously! Taking inspiration from both traditional British footwear and military uniforms, Centre Commercial finally reveals a line of elegant footwear, a version of the iconic Derbys and Richelieus.

Handcrafted in a family workshop in Brazil, Centre Commercial uses ecologically chrome-free tanned leather from acacia tree extracts, and organic cotton, which helps reduce pollution in waters used by tanneries.

Dope and more reason to grab a pair, Centre Commercial are the first shoes with crepe soles made from 100% Amazonian rubber and guess what, the Amazon is the only place on earth where rubber trees grow in the wild.

THE SHOP: CENTRE COMMERCIAL

Sheltered by a glass roof in a neighborhood that favors slow-shopping a few steps away from the Saint Martin Canal is Centre Commercial, a collective space uniting local, social and environmental initiatives.



Centre commercial offers second-hand bicycles, vintage furniture, art works and labels made in France, Great Britain and Denmark.



“Centre Commercial wants to slow down the rhyme of our fast-paced society. Reminiscent in the ways of our grandparents, we favor know-how and continuity. Rather than offering mere products, we try to curate genuine projects,” said Sebastien Kopp & Ghislain Morillion, both founders of Veja.
