Prada – Italian craftsmanship and modern design!
Prada, still one of the old-established family businesses where real craftsmanship is performed. Particular emphasis is placed on the processing of high-quality materials and leather goods. A large part is still produced in Italy today. Read more about today’s luxury empire here:
Prada: Foundation of the luxury company
The Italian luxury company was founded in 1913 by the brothers Mario Prada and Martino Prada and originally bore the name “Fratelli Prada”, which translates as “Prada Brothers”. In 1913 they opened their first shop in the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. The initial focus was on the manufacture and sale of exclusive leather goods, including gloves, bags and suitcases. In 1919, Prada was appointed royal purveyor to the court for its high-quality products. Today’s logo still shows this, depicting the Savoy coat of arms and the four eight knots.
Shoe production was launched in 1979 and simple models in muted colours were added to the range. These, however, formed a strong contrast to the shrill and sexist fashion of the other brands at the time, but triggered a steep rise in the brand a few years later. In 1983, the second Prada store was opened in Via della Spiga, also in Milan.
Granddaughter & heiress of the luxury empire: Miuccia Prada
After the death of Mario Prada in 1958, granddaughter Miuccia Prada and her siblings Alberto and Marina inherited the company from their mother Luisa, who withdrew from the business and left it to her children. With the takeover of Miuccia Prada, the time-honoured and bold leather goods company developed into a world-renowned fashion label.
In 1984 she created a black backpack in the higher price segment, made of waterproof nylon material Pocone, which bore the name “Vela”. However, it was not until a few years later that the revolutionary breakthrough came and it was followed by wallets and travel bags made of the same material.
“Prada Ugly” – Fashion for young women
At the beginning of the 1980s, numerous exclusive Prada stores opened, leading to an enormous increase in both sales and the company’s reputation. In 1988 Prada, under the direction of Miuccia Prada, created the first Prêt-à-Porter collection for women. In the early 1990s, Prada received special recognition for the production of thick lenses, old-fashioned fabrics and retro-style cuts. The choice of colours with bright tones was also very unusual. People associated the term “Prada Ugly” with this collection, which was aimed primarily at fashionable young women.
Prada accessible to all: online shop makes the breakthrough
It was not until 1933 that a minimalist Prada men’s collection was developed and added to the range. In 2000, during a revolutionary period of change, the first sunglasses and prescription glasses were launched under the name “Prada”. In 2004, the first fragrance for women, “Prada”, was produced in collaboration with the Spanish PUIG Group. In 2006 the fragrance collection was extended for the first time with a fragrance for men called “Prada Man”. Since 2007, there has also been an online shop where only a small range, which has been expanded over time, is available.
The company, which originally only produced leather goods, is now a globally recognized company. Nevertheless, leather goods such as shoes and handbags are the biggest source of income. Even today, 85% of the production is still carried out in Italy.
