Prada Bags and Purses Second Hand

The Founding Family

The secret to Prada’s success lies in the strength of the founding family. In 1913 brother Mario and Martino Prada decided to go into business together, combining their knowledge and expertise of leather goods to build a lasting family-run company. Since then Prada has continually remained in the hands of a descendant of Mario’s, albeit not exactly the way he intended it. Mario’s wish was to pass his legacy into the hand of his son and didn’t agree with women taking on roles in business. However, his son wished to steer clear of Prada altogether so the company went to his daughter instead. Luisa Prada took control of Prada and rand it for twenty years, bringing her own daughter Miuccia on-board in the early 1970s. When Luisa retired Miuccia took over, and alongside her partner Patrizio Bertelli she began to take the business to the next level. She began to usher in a new era for both Prada and Italian fashion in general, moving in a sleek and innovative direction. Today the Prada name is a heavyweight in high-fashion with a legacy that will last centuries.

The Secret To Prada’s Perfect Style
