After Prada ’sandal scandal’, Indian brands tap heritage pride to boost sales By Dhwani Pandya, Arpan Chaturvedi and Elisa Anzolin MUMBAI/MILAN (Reuters) -Indian footwear sellers and artisans are tapping into nationalist pride stoked by the Prada (OTC:PRDSY) ’sandal scandal’ in a bid to boost sales of ethnic slippers with history dating back to the 12th century, raising hopes of reviving a struggling craft. Sales are surging over the past week for the ’Kolhapuri’ sandals that have garnered global attention after Prada sparked a controversy by showcasing similar designs in Milan, without initially crediting the footwear’s origins. After viral photos from a fashion show drew criticism from Indian artisans who make the sandals - named after a historic city in Maharashtra state - Prada was forced to acknowledge that its new open-toe footwear was inspired by ancient Indian designs. "Prada 0: Kolhapur 1," said an Instagram post by e-commerce website Shopkop, whose founder Rahul Parasu Kamble’s open letter to Prada pointing out the footwear is "soaked in tradition" was reshared 36,000 times on social media. "I saw the controversy as a way to promote Kolhapuri," said Kamble, 33, who has seen sales of sandals he sources from local artisans touch 50,000 rupees ($584) in three days, five times the average. Social media has been abuzz in recent days with criticism and sarcastic memes, with politicians, artisans and a trade body demanding due credit to Indian heritage. Prada has said it will arrange follow-up meetings with artisans. In a statement to Reuters on Tuesday, it added the Italian group intends to make the sandals in India in collaboration with local manufacturers, if it commercialises them. BREEZY ADS, BIG DISCOUNTS India’s luxury market is small but growing, with the rich splurging on Lamborghini cars and pricey watches. Prada does not have a single retail store in India and its products are usually reserved for the super rich - its men’s leather sandals start retailing at $844, while Kolhapuris can be priced as low as $12. But linking of the Prada name to the Kolhapuri sandals, which are made by around 7,000 artisans, is providing a business opportunity for some. Mumbai-based Ira Soles is running new Facebook (NASDAQ:META) and Instagram advertisements which proclaim its $32 "Tan Handcrafted Kolhapuris just walked the ramp at Prada ... Limited stock. Global spotlight. Own a piece of what the world is applauding.". E-commerce website Niira is offering up to 50% discounts on its Kolhapuri slippers it says are "rooted in tradition". Its sales of $18 sandals, that looked like the one Prada showcased in Milan, have tripled, founder Nishant Raut said. "Why can’t an Indian Kolhapuri brand become as big as a Birkenstock (NYSE:BIRK)," he said. Handmade in small factories, Kolhapuri sandals, or chappals as they are called in Hindi, are often paired with Indian attire. Similar designs are sold in big outlets of Bata India (NSE:BATA) and Metro Brands, and also on Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE:WMT)’s Flipkart. In 2021, India’s government said the sandals could achieve $1 billion a year in exports. Though latest estimates are not available, artisans say the business has struggled as consumers increasingly opt for more fashionable, upmarket footwear. Still, the Prada controversy is breathing new life into a craft that Lalit Gandhi, president of Maharashtra’s main industry lobby group, says is "a dying art". Gandhi said he is in talks with Prada to develop a co-branded, limited-edition sandal. Kolhapur craftsmen Ashok Doiphode, 50, is pinning hopes on a Prada boost. He hand-stitches sandals for nine hours daily but can sell a pair for just 400 rupees ($5). "If big companies like Prada come, craftsman like me can get a good price."

A framed cross-stitch embroidery features the message in bold red letters: "I AM CANADIAN. I DESIRE TO BE NOTHING ELSE." The design is bordered with blue stitching and decorated with pink flowers and red maple leaves in the corners and center. The overall aesthetic is warm and traditional, evoking a sense of patriotism and cultural pride through the medium of homey, handcrafted art. This image can be interpreted as political satire or a quiet act of national affirmation, depending on context.
