The History of Prada
The brand Prada dates back over one hundred years. In 1913, the House of Prada was formed by Mario Prada. 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.
Mario’s Successor
Mario Prada believed that women had no place in the workplace, that they should only work in the home. But when it came time to pass the family business to his successor, Mario’s son had no interest in carrying on with the business. Ironically, the family business was passed on to Mario’s daughter, Luisa Prada. Luisa ran Prada for nearly 20 years, contributing significantly to its greatness today.
The Expansion of Prada
Although Prada has made a name for itself in the luxury industry by the time Luisa’s daughter, Miuccia Prada took over, it would still be quite a while before this brand became a household name. Miuccia Prada joined the Prada family in the 1970s and began designing luxury handbags and luggage for the brand. Not soon after, in 1977, Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli met and began to collaborate. Bertelli came on board of Prada and together, him and Miuccia, dedicated themselves to creating a new era of Prada.
Together, the two launched a well-received luxury footwear line in 1979. It was also around this time that Prada’s stores became known for their tidy aesthetics and signature green hue, later dubbed “Prada Green”. Prada soon opened stores in London, Madrid, Tokyo, and Paris.
In the 80s, Prada and Bertelli introduced a womenswear line that was blazoned with low waistlines and narrow belts. It was a huge success and launched Prada to become the well-known name it is today.
Prada Today
Prada today has truly become a household name. The brand has acquired a few smaller brands including, Car Shoe, Pasticceria Marchesi, Miu Miu, and Chruch’s. They truly have influenced the core of the fashion industry.
The Most Iconic Prada Designs
Prada Nylon Backpack
In 1984, Prada stunned the fashion industry with the introduction of the Nylon bag. Miuccia Prada utilized material used in military tents to create this never before seen nylon bag. Nylon material was used in various handbags and most iconically in the Prada Backpack.
The Prada Backpack was designed using “industrial-weight nylon used for army tents”. This bag was a groundbreaking design due to its versatile function and waterproof material.
Galleria by Prada Bag
The Prada Galleria bag is a must-have for all Prada lovers. This bag took the world by storm when it hit the markets. It’s most-known by the name the Saffiano Lux bag, which is the leather this bag is crafted out of.
This bag dates back to the very beginning of Prada. It was designed and first sold by Mario Prada, the founder of Prada. It is a heat-treated leather incorporating a cross-hatch design that’s purpose is to increase durability and create water and scratch resistance. It’s truly a simple yet classic design and a must-have for all Prada lovers.
