Veja expands range with sandals
The trainer brand Veja now also offers sandals.
Veja announced on Wednesday that it is expanding its range with the 'Etna' model. Previously, the french company with Brazilian roots only offered trainers, shoe care products and accessories.
The Etna sandal is a 'lightweight and versatile option for warm days that has proven itself in both the city and nature', according to the statement. They will come on the market in various colours - depending on the style, either in one colour or with a different sole colour - such as beige, purple-black and olive-black.
The sandals are made in Brazil from suede (upper) that comes from the state of Rio Grande do Sul and is tanned there 'without the use of dangerous or prohibited chemicals'. A PFC-free impregnation is also designed to offer protection in light rain. The insole is made from the polymer ethylene-vinyl acetate - 17 percent of which is recycled - and the outsole is made of rubber - 40 percent of which comes from the Amazon and ten percent is recycled.

Rangers ready to crank up efforts to land key transfer target after signing rivals see offer kicked out by his club
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS are ready to crank up their efforts to sign Brazilian midfielder Metinho. The Gers are on the 22-year-old's trail along with Basel after he produced a series of outstanding performances for the Swiss champions on loan from Troyes last season. 2 Metinho is a target for Rangers Credit: Alamy 2 The midfielder is also wanted by Basel, where he impressed on loan last season Credit: Alamy Champions League-bound Basel have already had one bid booted out by the French club, leaving the door open for Rangers to now swoop. And Troyes expect the battle to land him to hot up in the coming days. New Ibrox owners 49ers Enterprises picked Metinho out as a player they wanted to invest in before formally taking over earlier this month. And now they're ready to enter the chase in the hope of getting a deal done before Russell Martin's side play Panathinaikos in the Champions League qualifiers on July 22. Troyes are willing to do business for Metinho, who signed for them from Fluminense for £4million in 2021. The midfielder has spent the last three seasons out on loan, twice in Holland with Lommel and Sparta Rotterdam, before moving to Switzerland in January. It was at Basel he really flourished and they are desperate to get a deal done to keep him on a permanent basis. But Rangers have long had him marked out as a summer target so hope to get a deal over the line ahead of them. Metinho's style of play has seen him nicknamed 'the Brazilian Paul Pogba' in some quarters. Gers boss Martin is also closing in on Leicester defender Conor Coady but have missed out to QPR for Peterborough's Kwame Poku. Sir Sean Connery's secret £1 MILLION investment in Rangers revealed Former Dundee defender Owen Beck is on their radar from Liverpool, along with striker Dor Turgeman from Maccabi Tel Aviv. There will also likely be outgoings in the coming weeks, with AEK Athens bidding to sign Cyriel Dessers while French side Lille want Hamza Igamane. Meanwhile, Jose Cifuentes looks set to return to Rangers. The midfielder spent last season in Greece with Aris Thessaloniki and impressed. But Aris failed to take up their option to sign him and the midfielder has now bid an emotional farewell to the club. Cifuentes, 26, only made nine league appearances for the Gers after joining in August 2023. He was sent on loan to Cruzeiro in Brazil the following February before heading to Greece last summer.

When it becomes operational, the 140,000 sq ft bakery in Ash Road will be full to capacity.

"Once again we will be marrying the very best equipment available with our craft bakery skills so we can make even more fantastic products in greater volume." Projects director Kris Green said: "The additional capacity is needed because of our burgeoning order book thanks to the growing appetite for our products, not just here in the UK but also across Europe and as far afield as Australia.
