Prada Leather Handbag

Prada is synonomous with luxury.  One only has to check the prices of a Prada leather handbag to know that this is the high end of the scale.  With prices of £295 and up, the leather is soft and the handbag is exquisitely designed.

The Prada line began in 1913 when Mario Prada designed and then sold handbags, shoes, and other products from his boutique in Milan.  While Louis Vuitton began selling steamer trunks in the 1800s, Mario created leather products and handbags that were waterproof. 

However, in 1978, his granddaughter Miuccia Prada took over the company and developed continued making black waterproof backpacks out of nylon fabric.  In 1985, she presented to the world her classic Prada handbag.  Today, Prada is one of the world’s leading forces in fashion that includes shoes, garments, and accessories that are of the highest quality and are considered quite sophisticated.
