RPT-After Prada 'sandal scandal', Indian brands tap heritage pride to boost sales
HighlightsIndian footwear sellers and artisans are experiencing a surge in sales of Kolhapuri sandals, which have historical significance dating back to the 12th century, following a controversy involving Prada, which showcased similar designs without initially crediting their origins. The controversy has sparked a wave of nationalist pride, with social media campaigns and advertisements promoting Kolhapuri sandals, leading to a significant increase in sales for local artisans and businesses, some reporting sales up to five times their average. Prada has acknowledged the origins of the Kolhapuri sandals and is planning to collaborate with local manufacturers in India to produce a co-branded, limited-edition version, providing hope for the revival of this traditional craft that has been struggling in recent years. Indian footwear sellers and artisans are tapping into nationalist pride stoked by the Prada 'sandal scandal' in a bid to boost sales of ethnic slippers with history dating back to the 12th century, raising hopes of reviving a struggling craft. Sales are surging over the past week for the 'Kolhapuri' sandals that have garnered global attention after Prada sparked a controversy by showcasing similar designs in Milan, without initially crediting the footwear's origins. After viral photos from a fashion show drew criticism from Indian artisans who make the sandals - named after a historic city in Maharashtra state - Prada was forced to acknowledge that its new open-toe footwear was inspired by ancient Indian designs. "Prada 0: Kolhapur 1," said an Instagram post by e-commerce website Shopkop, whose founder Rahul Parasu Kamble's open letter to Prada pointing out the footwear is "soaked in tradition" was reshared 36,000 times on social media. "I saw the controversy as a way to promote Kolhapuri," said Kamble, 33, who has seen sales of sandals he sources from local artisans touch 50,000 rupees ($584) in three days, five times the average. Social media has been abuzz in recent days with criticism and sarcastic memes, with politicians, artisans and a trade body demanding due credit to Indian heritage. Prada has said it will arrange follow-up meetings with artisans. In a statement to Reuters on Tuesday, it added the Italian group intends to make the sandals in India in collaboration with local manufacturers, if it commercialises them. BREEZY ADS, BIG DISCOUNTS India's luxury market is small but growing, with the rich splurging on Lamborghini cars and pricey watches. Prada does not have a single retail store in India and its products are usually reserved for the super rich - its men's leather sandals start retailing at $844, while Kolhapuris can be priced as low as $12. But linking of the Prada name to the Kolhapuri sandals , which are made by around 7,000 artisans, is providing a business opportunity for some. Mumbai-based Ira Soles is running new Facebook and Instagram advertisements which proclaim its $32 "Tan Handcrafted Kolhapuris just walked the ramp at Prada ... Limited stock. Global spotlight. Own a piece of what the world is applauding.". E-commerce website Niira is offering up to 50% discounts on its Kolhapuri slippers it says are "rooted in tradition". Its sales of $18 sandals, that looked like the one Prada showcased in Milan, have tripled, founder Nishant Raut said. "Why can't an Indian Kolhapuri brand become as big as a Birkenstock," he said. Handmade in small factories, Kolhapuri sandals, or chappals as they are called in Hindi, are often paired with Indian attire. Similar designs are sold in big outlets of Bata India and Metro Brands, and also on Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart. In 2021, India's government said the sandals could achieve $1 billion a year in exports. Though latest estimates are not available, artisans say the business has struggled as consumers increasingly opt for more fashionable, upmarket footwear. Still, the Prada controversy is breathing new life into a craft that Lalit Gandhi, president of Maharashtra's main industry lobby group, says is "a dying art". Gandhi said he is in talks with Prada to develop a co-branded, limited-edition sandal. Kolhapur craftsmen Ashok Doiphode, 50, is pinning hopes on a Prada boost. He hand-stitches sandals for nine hours daily but can sell a pair for just 400 rupees ($5). "If big companies like Prada come, craftsman like me can get a good price."

India may be subject to lower US tariffs compared to APAC nations: Moody's
Moody's Ratings suggests India could benefit from tariff-driven shifts in investment and trade due to potentially lower tariffs compared to other Asia-Pacific nations. This advantage may attract investment and bolster India's development as a global manufacturing hub. Ongoing free trade agreement efforts with the UK and EU further support this potential, though US reshoring goals could pose a challenge. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads India may be subject to lower tariffs than many countries in the Asia Pacific, which could help the economy attract further investment and become a global manufacturing base Moody's Ratings said on its outlook on Asia Pacific sovereigns, Moody's Ratings said many export-reliant APAC economies were hit with very high US tariffs in negotiations will likely lead to some reduction in tariffs and other trade barriers on a bilateral basis, policy uncertainty is challenging investment decisions and disrupting about trade policy and a potential overhaul of global trade have raised cyclical and possibly structural credit risks in APAC, it said, adding that economies like Vietnam and Cambodia, which benefited from a diversification of investment and manufacturing out of China and now face high US tariffs, are particularly at risk."In contrast to countries like Cambodia and Vietnam, India has the potential to emerge as a beneficiary of a tariff-driven shift in investment and trade flows. India may be subject to lower tariffs than many in APAC, which could help the economy attract further investment flows and support its development as a global manufacturing base," Moody's Ratings signing of a free trade agreement with the UK in May and ongoing efforts to establish the same with the EU will further support such development. However, the US goal to reshore select manufacturing segments could challenge the extent to which India benefits, it April 2, the US imposed an additional 26 per cent reciprocal tariff on Indian goods but suspended it for 90 days.

Even then, any decision to relocate manufacturing or product sourcing will take years to execute," Moody's light of the weaker economic outlook, we expect the interest rate environment in APAC and globally to become more accommodative over the second half of 2025, Moody's said.
