Prada Handbags
In 1913, Miuccia Prada's grandfather, Mario, established a
family-run luxury leather goods company in Milan. In 1978,a
reluctant Miuccia assumed the reins. In 1985, she designed a line
of black, unlabeled, sturdy but
finely-woven nylon handbags that immediately became fashion
must-haves. Prada launched its ready-to-wear collection on the
Milan runways in1989to critical acclaim, with its simple,austere
lines against the excess of the other labels at the time.Since
then, Prada has been at the forefront of the fashion world,winning
the prestigious CFDA International Award in1993 and influencing
designers over the world.

Prada's collections - whether they're nerd-chic, feminist-chic, or
minimalist-chic - challenge and beguile the global fashion
community each season. The deep thought behind Miuccia's ubiquitous
brand is evident through her intellectual approach to design. She
presents fabrics in revolutionary ways, dreams up impossible color
schemes, and often pairs the staid with the sensual. Her
combination of somber black and conservative cuts with the
peek-a-boo nature of lace offers up a genius mix of the prim and
the perverse. Prada remains
one of fashion's most sought-after brands for its ability to make
any style, even the most utilitarian, look utterly chic.
