Kolhapuri chappal row: Prada to team up with Indian artisans; launch limited-edition sandals

Prada is collaborating with Indian artisans for a limited-edition sandal collection, following criticism for designs resembling traditional Kolhapuri chappals. The luxury brand will produce 2,000 pairs in Maharashtra and Karnataka, blending Indian craftsmanship with Italian techniques. This initiative aims to elevate global recognition for the craft and ensure fair compensation for artisans.
