Industrial Fabric, Luxury Bag

Prada was founded in Milan in 1913 by Mario Prada as a leather goods house. His granddaughter Miuccia Prada took the company in a bold direction. In 1984 she launched a black backpack made from Pocone, a tough industrial nylon once used for military tents and parachutes.

Choosing humble nylon over luxurious leather surprised many, but the sleek backpack with its triangle logo became a status symbol of the late 1980s and 1990s. Miuccia launched the younger line Miu Miu in 1993, named after her nickname.

Prada's Re-Nylon project uses regenerated nylon made from recycled waste, revisiting the fabric with sustainability in mind. In 2020 Raf Simons became co-creative director alongside Miuccia, continuing the house's intellectual approach.
