Louis Vuitton's latest handbag a reported ₹35 lakh ode to the Indian autorickshaw, has sparked both fashion buzz and familiar backlash.

Dior’s ₹1.6 crore coat used traditional Mukaish embroidery without naming artisans. Prada turned Kolhapuri chappals into designer sandals, minus attribution. From bindis to saris, the West keeps raiding India’s closet for “inspiration.” The real artisans? Left in the shadows, stitching, weaving, and creating, applause not included.
