US retailer faces backlash for listing saree as 'maxi dress'
An American clothing label is facing online heat for marketing a piece of clothing that looks like a saree as an "embellished draped overlay maxi dress." The item was listed on their site for $229, which is roughly ₹21,917. People on social media slammed the brand for selling the saree-style garment while failing to mention its cultural roots. One user commented, "We need...credit...where the credit is due."
