Te Casan

Fast Facts: 
*Vegan footwear by Natalie Portman 
* Te Casan 


So recently on one of my favorite shows, Project Runway, I saw Natalie Portman as a guest judge. And there I learned that she had started her own footwear line called Te Casan. I was excited to see that such a great actress and humanitarian had done something like that. More importantly, I saw her store while in SoHo recently, and was blown away at just how cute her line of vegan footwear was. Her shoes are fashion forward, easy choices to compliment an outfit, and eco-friendly. She uses natural fibers and no animal fur in her products, and I think that says a lot. The webpage for Te Casan was recently launched and is located at www.tecasan.com.

The designers for Te Casan include Niki Robinson, Gaetano Perrone, Faay Falbock, Gianluca Soldi, Natalie Portman, Zoe lee, and Manuela Filipovic. Portman's collection is entirely vegan, and incredibly cute. My personal favorite is the "Pippa" shoe. For anyone interested in footwear, I reccomend Portman's collection at Te Casan.
