Natalie Portman's Vegan Shoe Line May Not Survive the Economy

Natalie Portman's vegan shoe line has gone out of business. Ironically, their shoe collection was originally intended to be a limited edition line, however, this news might make it a bit more limited than Portman wanted.

Natalie Portman's vegan shoe line, however, was launched for good reason other than for the actress to cash in - to lessen animal cruelty and promote other materials for shoes. Natalie Portman's shoes are made cruelty-free with no animal products. So vegetarians and vegans everywhere seemed excited about these shoes. The line debuted earlier this year, with pre-orders available January 15 and officially launching at stores in February. Shoes were priced around $200.


Te Casan has even shut down its website. There has been no word from Natalie Portman or her reps on whether she'll seek another partnership to keep her shoes out there. She might be too busy focusing on her upcoming film projects to worry about what to do. Portman recently finished filming "Love and Other Impossible Pursuits" and "New York, I Love You" and is currently filming "17 Photos of Isabel in New York City."
