Description:

When Italian luxury brand Prada showcased leather sandals that looked a lot like India’s traditional Kolhapuri chappals, and didn't credit their roots, it sparked a debate over fair pay and recognition for local artisans.

The company has since tried to make amends and has been speaking to local producers.

We travel to Kolhapur, where these sandals are made to explore what this example means for the economics of luxury fashion.

Presenter: Devina Gupta Producer: Andrew Clarence
