Synopsis

The Prada label was founded by Mario Prada in 1913 in Milan.

Initially, Prada focused on luxury leather goods and accessories, operating from
its small, yet elegant boutique in the prestigious Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The
brand quickly gained recognition for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative
designs, receiving the prestigious title of 'Official Supplier of the Italian Royal
Household' by 1919.

In the 1970s, Miuccia Prada joined the family business and introduced the now-
iconic black nylon backpack, which broke new ground in fashion by transforming
the utilitarian material into high fashion. Prada has since become recognized for
blending simplicity with a forward-thinking, intellectual design philosophy, and
incorporating experimental textures, patterns, and silhouettes without losing the
brand's signature refinement.

Today, Prada stands as one of the world's most celebrated fashion powerhouses,
beloved by fashion connoisseurs and the global elite, and consistently shaping
international trends.
