Prada's latest "Crochet Safety Pin Brooch" priced at Rs 69,000 ($775) has sparked widespread criticism online. The luxury accessory, resembling a common safety pin wrapped in colorful crochet thread with Prada's signature logo, has prompted social media users to compare it to Rs 5 alternatives and school craft projects. This follows another controversy where Prada faced legal challenges for selling Kolhapuri-inspired sandals at Rs 1.2 lakh without acknowledging traditional Indian craftsmanship.
