French luxury perfume brand Diptyque is selling traditional Indian spiral mosquito coils for approximately Rs 5,000 (£45). Marketed as lemongrass-scented outdoor incense, the product closely resembles the common 'Kachua Chhap' coils used in Indian households. This follows previous instances where western brands like Prada and Ralph Lauren repackaged traditional Indian designs as high-end luxury items. Indian netizens have criticized the brand for the steep pricing and for not giving credit to the original Indian design.
