Prada is the first name in fashion handbags and has become a worldwide empire. The name of Miuccia Prada, the designer, is synonymous with Prada handbags fashion industry.

Miuccia Prada

Born in Milan, Miuccia Prada is the youngest granddaughter of Mario Prada, founder of the company. She took over the family-owned luxury goods manufacturer in 1978.

Miuccia Prada’s decision to enter fashion came about in 1985, when she persuaded her family firm to produce a series of black nylon handbags( Prada nylon handbags ) and backpacks, conspicuous in an era of overblown logo clothes and designer statements for their modesty and low-key labeling. Quickly taken up by a cognoscenti undaunted by the steep prices of what were after all generic nylon totes, the Prada handbag became an insider’s badge of belonging, and a nod by fashion’s early adopters to a newly constituted and democratized form of luxury goods.

In 1992, Miuccia Prada debuted the less expensive bridge line Miu Miu ( Miu Miu handbags ), inspired by her personal wardrobe of earthier, hippyish garments in natural fabrics and colours.
