Natalie Portman Shoes

Natalie Portman Shoes are a line of luxury vegan shoes designed by the actress for specialty retailer Te Casan. Her designs are animal friendly or cruelty free harvested in humane conditions with no feathers, fur, or skins. Proceeds will benefit The Nature Conservancy.

The actress has been lauded for bringing attention to the fact that not much was previously available for vegan's who wanted options in their shoes. Those who were attending an upscale event had little to choose from before now.http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/04/13/natalie-portman-vegan-shoes/Although she was vegetarian, and not a vegan herself, Portman has been known for some time to choose fashion items that are not from an animal source, even saying in an interview she has not worn belts since she was around 10 years old because they were leather.http://socialitelife.celebuzz.com/archive/2008/02/13/natalie_portmans_shoes_are_crueltyfree.php http://www.ecorazzi.com/2007/12/25/razzi-snap-natalie-portman-announces-new-vegan-shoe-collection/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuHkWhh719A

According to Portman herself, she became a vegan a few months before the launch of the shoe line. "We respect life three times a day when we eat, and in the morning when we decide what to wear," she commented about veganism during an interview with Fashion Week Daily.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuHkWhh719A
