Episode Synopsis

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
