The success of the Italian luxury brand Prada started with a very simple bag: a black ladies bag made of parachute nylon. Initially the nylon material was used for the packaging of leather bags - but suddenly these new nylon bags got popular. Later Prada has launched a backpack, which was also previously not considered fashionable. The design of the Prada collection is simple and with ascetically character.

With the motto "Turn ugly things into beautiful“ the designer Miuccia Prada began to experiment on unusual materials and shapes. She has created a successful bag collection and the Italian leather goods producer became one of the most famous groups for luxury goods.

The Prada principle is thus to turn the ugly so that it becomes beautiful. Prada does not follow the fashion style that is „in“ - they create their own style against the others.

in 1989 Prada began to produce clothing: the first Prêt-à-Porter-Fall/Winter woman collection presented by Prada made headlines with its simple style and minimalist design - in contrast to the clatter design of other fashion houses.

In 1993 Prada was honored for the clear line design, fine material quality and excellent manual work with the international award "Council of Fashion Designers of America".

The PRADA SPA is specialized in the manufacturing of bags and suitcases.

Miuccia Prada married Patrizio Bertelli, owner of a leather goods factory in Tuscany, whom she had met as a supplier at a fashion show. The today's husband and CEO Prada manager contributed significantly to the success of Prada. He has convinced Miuccia to produce apart women's bags also shoes and clothing - later they have founded the second-label Miu Miu.

With the success of the Prada bags has began a rapid growth period - the so-called "Prada Mania". The couple Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli wanted to catch up with Gucci and Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), mainly through acquisitions of expensive brands: fashion house Jil Sander, the English shoe brand Church's and Helmut Lang, shares of Gucci and Fendi.

Within 3 years the sales of the Prada Holding increased from 688 million to 1.73 billion euros in 2001. Prada, however, had no luck: the two fashion houses, Jil Sander and Helmut Lang made only losses and were sold again.

In 1999 Prada and LVMH together have taken over the financially troubled company Fendi. Prada made big debts for the purchase and was not able, to get Fendi out of the deficit - 2001 Prada has sold their Fendi shares to LVMH.

In 2005 the Prada Group returned to get profitability with 1.3 billion euros in sales.

The Prada SpA belongs to the Prada Holding which is 95% owned by the family Prada - Bertelli, the remaining 5% belont to the Italian bank "Banca Intesa".

In 2003 the novel "The devil wears Prada" which came out as cinema film in 2006. Especialle the movie helped the luxury brand Prada to present them in a new light - in this period Prada had over 1 billion euro depts, and some free advertising from Hollywood was very welcome.

The film is about Fashion, Glamour, and glossy magazines. In the beginning of the film, when "Meryl Streep" comes into her office, she carries - hardly recognizable - a Prada bag which is now - thanks to the movie - very popular.

The actress Meryl Streep was dressed in Valentino - and the "devil" himself appeared in Prada. Furthermore you can find in the movie some other advertising for Chanel and Tods - Prada has officially nothing to do with the film.
