We all know that copying is a thing when it comes to high-end brands. But what exactly should we call this? Is this some kind of a “fashion-bloc” or is it “creative thievery”? Looks like Westerners are lowkey impressed with our culture – the reason why we keep seeing it in their fashion industry.
First, we had the “Ajrak” bikinis… Whoops!
Not cool!
They didn’t spare our Masjid ki topis as well!
Errr, no.
Then you had the most famous kambal wala thaila!
Bechare, they have to spend over two thousand pounds to get a kambal inspired bag!
Then ASOS thought tikka sounded too desi, so they called it the… Chandelier!

Have a look at this “beaded tassel.”
Yeah. That seems familiar, doesn’t it? If it doesn’t, might as well go and ask your ammi. Dude, that’s a tasbeeh! There’s also one in nude pink, in case you want to experiment with colors.
But we know better, don’t we? It won’t work. It will always remain a tasbeeh! But like, seriously. Kya mazaaq hai?

Some are surprised at the price
Woah! Some people have actually started wearing it
Some people don’t know what we’re talking about
There are also people who feel that it’s just a literal definition of the word tasbeeh!
It's actually a decent description of the item as well. Literal.

And here’s another one! A cleaning utensil and one of ammi’s weapons, that’s what this is.
