Are you aware that Gucci has an embroidered kurta for sale for Rs 2.5 lakh? Yes, it may seem unbelievable, but it is true. A Twitter user brought the news to the attention of the public in a post that has gotten a lot of attention, especially from desi netizens. Here’s where we’ll tell you more.
Gucci’s website lists a “Floral embroidery organic linen kaftan” for USD 3,500 (about Rs 2,55,878 in India). It’s an off-white linen kurta with patchwork on the sleeves and a floral embroidered yoke.
As soon as the post went viral, desi social media users expressed their displeasure at the kurta’s high price, which was created by the premium design firm situated in Florence, Italy.
“I am not paying even a single rupee more than 150 for this,” one person stated. “Sarojini Nagar mein 250 mein milega dost,” says another commenter. Sarojini Nagar is one of Delhi’s most prominent markets, containing showrooms for a wide range of foreign and local companies. The market’s heart, on the other hand, is created by street-side stores that sell clothing, shoes, and accessories in a variety of styles and sizes.
Argh!
