Natalie Portman at the launch of Te Casan

Natalie Portman at the launch of Te Casan vegan shoe line.

  • Natalie Portman Te Casan launch

When we first heard that Natalie Portman was coming out with her own line of vegan shoes back in January, there were some doubts as to who would actually spend so much money on such pricey shoes -- even if they are animal cruelty free. The general consensus was that you can find pleather shoes at Target for about $200 dollars less and still not hurt any animals.


But, Natalie's line has officially launched and if you check on the official Té Casan (meaning "a woman's path," in the Gaelic language), website you'll see that almost every pair is sold out. Granted, the site specifies that they only have 100 shoes in each size for the pre-order, so that might have something to do with it. Those vegans are a passionate group of people and it looks like if they see a cause they like, they'll support it whole heartedly. Besides, compared to Stella McCartney's vegan shoe line, where a pair will set you back $800, Natalie makes being vegan look cheap!

I'm normally hesitant to endorse any celebrity clothing lines because in general, I feel like starlettes these days will put their name on anything just to make a quick dollar. But that doesn't seem to be the case with Natalie. She has been a known animal activist for quite some time now. Vegan and organic products are becoming more and more popular so it makes sense that she would want to back something like this. Would you buy her expensive vegan shoes just to make a statement?


Browse through the gallery above to see Natalie at the Te Casan vegan footwear collection launch party alongside designer Rogan Gregory. There are a few close ups of the shoes themselves. While they're all cute enough...honestly, $185 for a basic ballet flat made by an actress who's not technically a designer, and really not even that into fashion? Let's just say that I might be willing to sell my first born for a pair of Louboutins...but probably not for a pair of Portman's.
