Chappals of Kolhapur are forgotten in the song ...........? No PRADA have found it in their new arsenal despite the miss. Local Crafts and craftsmanship is finding foot with one of costliest brand of lifestyle. Social responsibility of a corporate waking up to make a INR150 worth of good today to be available in future at a tag of INR15000. Of course there would be strings attached. Exclusivity..... Per force new association euphoria is likely to transcend Chappals to a new horizon. Common man would be pushed to synthetic wears; average craftsman would not find a buyer; middleman wallet swell. We saw it happening with custom tailoring, local shoe makers, atta chakki and many more in past. History is set to repeat. PRADA KOLHAPUR SYMPHONY is orchestrated. Enjoy$$$.
