It's not luxury, it's theft.'Another user pointed out, 'This design was stolen from the Chamar community of India, who've handcrafted these for generations. No credit. No acknowledgment. Just pure cultural theft dressed in luxury branding.'A third voice added: '@Prada, you've taken our Kolhapuri footwear but won't even name it. For generations, we've poured our soul into this craft. It's not just footwear—it's our identity. Give us the respect we deserve or stop stealing our art.'As the controversy grows, many are calling for global fashion houses to recognize the cultural significance of traditional designs and share credit—and profits—with the communities that create them.
