Prada faces online criticism for sandals resembling Indian Kolhapuri chappals without acknowledging the artisans. Edelweiss MF CEO Radhika Gupta emphasized the importance of crediting original creators and preserving India's textile heritage. Following backlash, Prada will meet with MACCIA on July 11 to discuss potential collaboration, including co-branded collections and skill development, aiming to recognize and benefit Kolhapuri artisans.
