00:00Is Prada obsessed with India?

00:02It seems so.

00:03Just as the Kolhapuri Chappal noise died down, the Italian fashion house has now introduced

00:08this Rs. 2.73 lakh tote bag.

00:11Much to the amusement of the internet, the design has an uncanny resemblance to the floor

00:15of, well, the Indian railways.

00:17Yes, this metallic bag resembles the common pattern found on flooring in public transport

00:22and buses across the world.

00:24Meant to be a men's tote bag, it comes with a dedicated water bottle compartment as well.

00:29From hilarious comments likening it to the Mumbai local, to internet users saying Prada is

00:34acting like India's obsessed ex, the new launch has unsurprisingly gone viral.

00:39But what is the reasoning behind this common design in public spaces?

00:43Turns out, it is just good ol' physics.

00:46This pattern is actually called a diamond plate or an aluminium checkered plate and is mostly

00:51known for its slip resistance, basically to prevent accidents due to wet surfaces.

00:56The raised pattern gives a better grip for people moving around and can also withstand heavy

01:00foot traffic.
