'The Prada paradox': Maharashtra artisans meet CM Fadnavis over 'Kolhapuri chappals' at fashion show; raise GI violation issue

Artisans from Maharashtra are protesting Prada's appropriation of Kolhapuri chappals, showcased in their Spring/Summer 2026 collection without acknowledging the craft's origin. A BJP MP is urging government intervention, citing violation of geographical indication rights granted in 2019. They seek recognition and revenue for local artisans, threatening legal action if Prada doesn't collaborate.
