[...] Back in February, Portman commented on how she came to the decision to design a line of vegan shoes. “Basically, I did it out of a lack of choice,” she said. “Stella McCartney does great shoes, but they’re expensive and very fashiony. I wanted a mary-jane shoe without leather. I’ve been getting stuff from Target, which is de facto vegan because it’s so cheap. But I did need some shoes that weren’t made of canvas or plastic.” [...]

I doubt she was wearing a non vegan sweater.
That’s great she has her own shoes line but they are overpriced. I can’t believe she thinks that $250 for shoes is good!

You already revealed the fact that Portman wears animal and while traveling she sometimes can’t be vegan, in a previous post a couple of months ago that got a lot of debate too. So it’s not surprising if she’s caught wearing animal. Like the ppl said above, it’s a personal choice if you are going to donate your animal clothing or continue to wear it out. For me, I donated it because of my conscious and so I didn’t look like a hypocrite.

I think her shoes are great, and her heart is in the right place, but can most of us “average joe’s” afford 200+ dollar vegan shoes? Check out Vegetarian Shoes and Bags. Affordable AND trendy as well!

if you have a voice (and due to the way of the world these days. . .celebrities do). . . and you use it (and your financial resources) to get behind a worthy cause, to stand up for greening the planet and/or just giving more publicity to these important issues. . . i say more power to you.

and as for the cashmere. . . it’s not necessarily a hypocrisy to veganism (do i need to mention the common vegan tendancy to eat lots of packaged and processed foods simply because they don’t contain blatantly used animal products- people may be surprised if they dug deeper into ingredients listed on the backs of some “health foods”). . . take for example the Mongolian cashmere line from Stewart + Brown https://secure.stewartbrown.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MWEST-T51HENS69S6&Category_Code=CSHMR

Every little bit makes a difference, and we all make our own choices, as long as they have low to zero impact on the earth, who is anyone else to start throwing stones??
