Natalie Portman's vegan shoes
Natalie Portman may not actually be a vegan, but she refuses to wear any clothes or shoes from animals. So it made sense when she decided to launch her own line of vegan footwear with Te Casan, one of New York's largest shoe boutiques. (We also hear that Natalie, 26, will star in the next Mira Nair film entitled "Kosher Vegetarian". How apt.)The line comprises pretty ballet flats, high satin sandals, and faux patent pumps, all limited edition (only 100 pairs per size). The designs, like Portman herself, are understated yet polished—nothing like the attention-grabbing stripper heels we've featured in this blog this last few months. Apparently she created the line because "Stella McCartney does great shoes, but they’re expensive and very fashiony. And I’ve been getting stuff from Target...but I did need some shoes that weren’t made of canvas or plastic.”
The shoes cost around $250 a pair and are available online at TeCasan.com, and at the New York Te Casan boutique (382 West Broadway).
