People had a lot to say on the post. “My mom can make the same design. Shall I start selling those to Gucci?” wrote a Twitter user. “We can get this in Gariahat or New Market (both located in Kolkata) in less than 1k,” shared another. “You can get two of these for 500. Hell, I don't even buy kurtas like these because they are not my style. 3,500 dollars for THIS?!” expressed a third.
