Prada has issued a formal clarification regarding the timeline of its collaboration with Indian artisans, following a previous article that suggested the project had stalled. The luxury fashion brand has confirmed that a collaboration agreement is firmly in place, with designs inspired by traditional Kolhapuri sandals scheduled to become available from February.
Setting the Record Straight on Cultural Collaboration
In June, Prada indicated it would work with Indian artisans on designs inspired by Kolhapuri sandals, following allegations of cultural appropriation. However, a recent article noted that none of these designs could yet be seen on the brand's website, leading to speculation about the project's status. Prada has now clarified that in December, the brand announced the collaboration agreement was officially in place, with the footwear collection set to launch in the coming month.
