Collection: Shop by Designer - Prada

The brand Prada dates back over one hundred years. In 1913, the House of Prada was formed by Mario Prada and named for the family of founder Mario Prada, the company originally sold imported English animal goods before transitioning to waterproof nylon fabrics in the 1970s under the leadership of Mario's granddaughter, Miuccia Prada and her husband Patrizio Bertelli.

The first store opened in Milan on the well-known Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II. This original store, run by Mario Prada, initially sold travel accessories, trunks, steamers, and other leather products. In 1919, the brand was thrust into the public spotlight when they were awarded the honored title of Official Supplier of the Italian Royal House - the Italian royal family. This is just how Prada got their logo. The Prada logo is a distinct triangle that displays the House of Savoy coat of arms. This is an ode to the Italian aristocracy. This logo has stayed with Prada throughout its 100+ years in business.

The Prada industry houses several smaller brands, such as Miu Miu, Church’s, Car Shoe, and Pasticceria Marchesi. The heart of the business is still the Prada brand. The classic Prada Linea Rossa was relaunched in 2018 to wide acclaim. Prada is most definitely here to stay.
