OlderNatalie Portman’s Vegan Shoe Line
Mon, 24 December 2007 at 10:04 pm
Natalie Portman designed a vegan collection of shoes in collaboration with Te Casan. (Vegans do not use or consume animal products of any kind.)
The Natalie Portman Collection arrives February 2008 online and at the NYC boutique located at 382 West Broadway. The shoes are available for pre-order on January 15. 5% of all vegan shoe profits will be going to charity.
Nat’s shoes will run you about $200, far cheaper than the Stella McCartney vegan heels.

And Akadis what are you trying to show? Yes, there are vegan products however as I wrote they are limited in production, excessively expensive to the general population also destructive to the environment despite their claims to the contrary (when you make your shoes of PVC or plastic that requires petroleum and other chemicals-and animal tanners have had thousands of years to perfect their skill set while vegan artisans have had what 15 or so years). Economically and environmentally vegan products are no better and quite possibly worse than traditional products at present time. I applaud those manufacturers who attempt to make organic products but even they acknowledge that the cost prohibits the vast majority of the public from partaking in the benefits of the product.
Vegan products on the other hand tend to only assuage the assumed guilt of the wearer. A guilt that the vast majority of the public does not feel, not because they are uncaring or uneducated but because the are realists.
i adore her for everything she does. shes wonderful, and i am deff getting a pair of those =]
SHE IS SO CUTE!
They’re vegan because they don’t use leather, etc..
The fact is, there aren’t any animal-friendly, environmentally-friendly shoes/clothes out there. We all just have to choose which we can live with. Natalie and other vegans don’t like the idea of wearing something’s fur or skin. And when you reduce it to it’s simplest form, it is pretty gross though that won’t stop me- I just don’t think of it that way.
She looks gorgeous.
For those wondering what the shoes look like so you can pre-order, as the blurb says- you’ll have to wait til the 15th and go to the website and view the selection.
FI:
The leather industry is a highly polluting industry, in fact, one of the most polluting industries.

Jon, I choose not to wear leather or fur, because I do not see any valid reason for all the suffering and death. I refuse to be responsible for it and have plenty of other options (and believe me… I truly loooove clothing and shoes and accessories and… ughhh, I’m such a girly girl).
Oh, and I
I hate the *****! She’s dumb, has no talent and is not even that beautiful. Just one of the worst hypocrites in Hollywood. URGH!
So what happens to all the animals that die - just let them rot without using anything ?
Yes, that is brilliant…….
Doesn’t this Jewish princess have enough money already? I mean does she really need to hawk shoes too? Go back to Israel and lob grenades at Palestinians you beyatch.
“So what happens to all the animals that die - just let them rot without using anything ?

Yes, because that’s where the leather used in the shoe industry comes from… You’re a bright one, aren’t you? (If you’re under 15, you’re excused :-D.)
Natalie isn’t a vegan. She eats eggs, drinks milk, and eats rennet-free cheese. Thus, she’s a lacto-ovo vegetarian. See the link for more information.

sell out,not pretty and cant act…
That’s a great idea. Maybe vegan shoes will catch on. Take that Trollsen Twins.
Allegations of Israeli apartheid draw an analogy to Israel’s treatment of Arab citizens of Israel or Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from South Africa’s treatment of non-whites during the apartheid era.
Those who use the analogy argue that separate roads differences in infrastructure, legal rights, and access to land and resources between Palestinians and Israelis in the Israeli-occupied territories constitute a system of apartheid. Some of those who make the allegation also use it in reference to the alleged second-class citizenship of Arab citizens of Israel.
Those who reject the analogy argue that that all citizens of Israel including Arab citizens of Israel possess the same citizen rights. [They also argue that it is political slander intended to malign Israel by singling it out,[and say that Israeli security needs justify the practices that prompt the analogy.
Vegan shoes? What are these exactly? Plastic? OMG! We now know she’s not only not too bright, nor too talented not to mention very pretty, but we know that her feet stink as well.
I seriously thought that was Keira Knightly.
i’m excited for this! i’m tired of waiting for stella mccartney’s shoes to go on sale to buy nice vegan shoes!!!! and in comparison to actual leather…. some vegan shoes are actually pretty comfy, maybe i’m just used to wearing heels?

What makes then vegan is that fact they do not use animals at all in the material to make them..it’s not about Natalie selling them she created them for people who are against animal testing or cruelity..I’m sure what she is showing people is not all that is offered..there might be other kinds of shoes to fit anyone’s style..I think she is one lady who wants to help make a difference in the way we dress but also the way we treat our environment.
If those that hate her so bad why are you here at all to bash the woman..yea that too is brillant..if she can’t act Gee she won a Golden Globe to prove it..and nominated for Oscar..I say she can act it is just who likes her and who doesn’t..seem more appreiciate her then hate her..
I would love to have a woman like her.
What’s her phone number ?
Nathater- you are beyond idiotic.
Denise Richards- Isn’t there some white supremacist rally you could be attending? Don’t you need to go get your head shaved?
The shoes, according to a fashion blog, will be about $200. So, cheaper than McCartney but still freaking expensive. This, of course, is a result of the production costs and a key reason, as another poster pointed out, these sorts of products aren’t widely available.
And she is hot hot hot hot hot hot. Smart. Funny. Talented. My kinda woman.
I agree with Jon..she is a very intelligent woman I see more love her then hate her but, there will always be those that don’t like her so be it to me they just perfer people like Paris Hilton or those who crave the limelight..Natalie is more a private lady when she does choose to do something good for the public she knows how to go about it..
