Italian luxury brand Prada has launched a limited-edition collection of Indian-made sandals, nearly a year after facing criticism for cultural appropriation.

• The new €750 sandals are handcrafted in India by artisans from Maharashtra and Karnataka.
• Prada, facing backlash last year for not acknowledging the Indian origins of similar designs, is now collaborating with Indian artisans and design institutes.
• A three-year training program will support artisans, aiming to preserve traditional techniques for making Kolhapuri sandals, which date back to the 12th Century.
