Natalie Portman’s Vegan Shoes Stomped Out By Economy
Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 5th, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion.
Very, very sad week for eco-friendly shoes lovers.
Proof that celebrities are not immune to the financial problems the world is enduring, Natalie Portman’s vegan shoes are no longer being produced. The parent company, Te Casan, closed shop, due to failing sales.
It’s not known whether Nat will take her shoes elsewhere for production for the line that was launched in February of this year. The shoes went for about $200 a pair-not exactly a bargain, which may have turned off a lot of people in this economy.
The forecast for affordable, quality, cruelty-free clothing is somewhat grim. Vegan shoes are hard enough to find. Vegan shoes that allow you to still be able to keep the lights on the same month you purchase them may be even more difficult to locate.
Could this mean that vegans and vegetarians who don’t wear leather will end up settling for cheap, imported, pleather shoes which tear and fade after a week and bang your feet up so badly, you need band-aids on your toes just to wear them?
Leona Lewis recognizes this problem and says she wants to make her future vegan shoes and bags easier on the bank account.
Leona, your help can’t come soon enough.
