Kolhapuri vs Prada: The Credit Clash

When luxury fashion house Prada featured Kolhapuri-style chappals
without acknowledging their Indian origin, it sparked an
important question: Where’s the credit?


Malishka speaks with a Mumbai-based Kolhapuri chappal seller
whose family has been crafting this footwear for over 60 years.
Together, they discuss heritage, craftsmanship, and the ongoing
fight for recognition in a world where global fashion often
borrows — but rarely credits.


This episode is a tribute to Indian artisans, and a reminder:
tradition isn’t just trendy — it’s legacy.
