Prada

Milan-based Prada is known for an intellectual, understated take on luxury, and for turning technical nylon into a luxury material with its backpacks and bags, now offered in a Re-Nylon version made with regenerated nylon. The house sells ready-to-wear, handbags such as the Galleria, shoes, eyewear and accessories, with the enamel triangle logo as a frequent signature. Prada is also the parent company of other labels, including Miu Miu, but this record focuses on the Prada brand. Products are sold through Prada boutiques, its website and selected luxury retailers. Prices sit in the luxury tier, though nylon pieces are among the more accessible entry points. Buyers should consider whether nylon or Saffiano leather suits their use, since they wear and age differently, and check sizing on footwear and tailoring, which can run differently from other brands.
