VAER x Your Brand - Custom Collaborations

VAER turns discarded uniforms and workwear into upcycled sneakers and caps — for your employees and for anyone who wants a fashion item with a visible story behind it.

Already proven at scale

We've already turned a fleet's worth of workwear into limited sneaker and cap collections. Many of our partners have also decided to extend a one-time collaboration to an ongoing partnership. Here are some brands we've collaborated with so far:

How a collab comes together

  • 01 Send us some textiles

    Retired workwear or other branded textiles you'd otherwise write off or pay to be reycled.

  • 02 We design the colourway

    Your fabric and colours go into one of our sneaker or cap models — sampled and signed off with you.

  • 03 We produce the collection

    Made in Portugal under fair conditions, sized to how much material you can actually supply.

  • 04 Roll it out

    Give pairs to employees, sell to the public through us, or both — your call.
