Long known for her vegetarianism, Natalie Portman swears that she never wears leather shoes in general or at red carpet events.

This doesn't leave the diva too many options. Until now she's been wearing shoes from Target and Stella McCartney.

Like other celebs who design their own clothing line or perfume, Portman has designed her own stylish line of limited edition shoes which she now sells through the New York boutique te casan for about $250 a pair.

The website, which also features other shoe designer's, says Portman's shoes are "dazzling, playful, elegant and free of animal products. ... Each shoe exudes the starlet's own personal style."

Natalie Portman's ancient video on "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," has been featured here on TH, and dive into our green shoe guide, for more shoes that can help you tread lightly on this earth.

I guess it's too much to hope that they are ethically sourced and manufactured?

I agree with Gloria.... all these celebs want the rest of us to be Eco friendly or Vegan friendly so they creat their own stuff... however they make the stuff unaffordable to us regular folks. Sorry but I am not paying $300 for a pair of shoes. If they are so worred about the the average person jumping on this band wagon, they need to bring their prices down to earth. Seriously. If Nat's shoes cost $50 U would at least think about it, but not what they are going for now. Sorry.
