Prada S.p.A. (/ˈprɑːdə/ PRAH-də, Italian: [ˈpraːda]) is an Italian luxury fashion house that was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada. It specializes in leather handbags, travel accessories, shoes, ready-to-wear, perfumes and other accessories.

The company was started in 1913 by Mario Prada and his brother Martino as a leather goods shop – Fratelli Prada – in Milan, Italy.[4][5] Initially, the shop sold animal goods and imported English steamer trunks and handbags.

Mario Prada did not believe that women should have a role in business, and so he prevented female family members from entering his company. Ironically, Mario’s son had no interest in the business, so it was Mario’s daughter Luisa who succeeded Mario and ran Prada for almost twenty years. Luisa’s daughter, Miuccia Prada, joined the company in 1970, eventually taking over from Luisa in 1978.[citation needed]

Miuccia began making waterproof backpacks out of Pocone, a nylon fabric.[4] She met Patrizio Bertelli in 1977, an Italian who had begun his own leather goods business at the age of 24, and he joined the company soon after. He advised Miuccia on company business, which she followed. It was his advice to discontinue importing English goods and to change the existing luggage.[citation needed]
