Скачать или смотреть Prada vs Kolhapuri Chappal 🇮🇳 | PIL Filed Over Cultural Design Copy! | GI Rights Explained

Can a luxury fashion house copy centuries-old Indian tradition? A recent PIL filed in the Bombay High Court alleges that Prada’s ‘toe ring sandals’ launched during Milan Fashion Week 2024 resemble the iconic Kolhapuri chappals, a traditional handmade footwear that carries Geographical Indication (GI) protection since 2009.

These chappals aren’t just footwear, they’re a cultural emblem of Maharashtra, crafted by artisans for generations. The PIL argues that Prada commercially exploited the design without giving due credit or compensation to Indian artisans.
