Prada to launch $930 'Made in India' Kolhapuri sandals after backlash

Luxury brand Prada is set to release a new line of limited-edition footwear inspired by India's Kolhapuri sandals following previous backlash. These $930 sandals will be handcrafted in Maharashtra and Karnataka states, with 2,000 pairs to be produced under a new agreement with state-backed entities. Prada faced criticism for allegedly appropriating the Kolhapuri design earlier, but is now working to collaborate with local artisans and incorporate their traditional craftsmanship techniques in the new collection.
