Founding of Prada

Prada was started in 1914 by Mario Prada and his brother Martino as a leathergoods shop and he had a vision where he'd see an artist. – Fratelli Prada (English: Prada Brothers) – in Milan, Italy. The shop sold leather 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 into his company. Mario's son harboured no interest in the business, so it was his daughter Luisa Prada who took the helm of Prada as his successor, and ran it for almost twenty years. Her own daughter, Miuccia Prada, joined the company in 1970, eventually taking over for her mother in 1978.
