Sole mates or soul snatchers? Prada's Kolhapuris step on Maharashtra's toes

PRADA is selling Kolhapuri chappals for ₹1.2 lakh — a design stolen from the Chamar community of India, who've handcrafted them for generations. No credit. No acknowledgment. Just pure cultural theft dressed in luxury branding. Shameful. #CulturalTheft #Kolhapuri — The Dalit Voice (@ambedkariteIND) June 25, 2025 Prada is selling products looking like Kolhapuri chappals for over ₹1 lakh. Our artisans make the same by hand for ₹400. They lose, while global brands cash in on our culture. Sad! — Harsh Goenka (@hvgoenka) June 26, 2025
