ITALIAN LUXURY HOUSE Prada has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with two government-backed leather agencies, Maharashtra’s LIDCOM (Sant Rohidas Leather Industries and Char-makar Development Corporation) and Karnataka’s LID-KAR (Dr Babu Jagjivan Ram Leather Industries Development Corporation), to develop a limited-edition footwear line inspired by Kolhapuri chappals.

The collection is scheduled to launch globally in February 2026 across 40 Prada stores and on the brand’s official e-commerce platform.

The MoU was formalised on Wednesday at the Consulate General of Italy in Mumbai during the Italy-India Business Forum, under which the parties will collaborate on the "PRADA Made in India x Inspired by Kolhapuri Chappals" project, the luxury house said.
