Prada's beginnings: Mario Prada, Milan and the Italian Royal Family

The history of the Italian firm Prada officially begins in 1913, when its founder Mario Prada, grandfather of Miuccia Prada, opens the doors of the first Prada store in the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II in Milan.

These beginnings would be closely linked to two family businesses with artisan roots. One of them was the bakery-pastry shop of the Marchesi family, founded in 1824 and that almost two hundred years later Prada would buy to promote luxury through food. And the second would be the Church shoe shop, the first to manufacture different shoes for each foot in 1873 and more than a hundred years later Prada bought it to continue the legacy of elegance made shoes.

Long before these two acquisitions, in 1919, Prada became the official supplier of the Italian Royal House just six years after its founding, allowing it to display the coat of arms of the House of Savoy and the knotted rope in its logo. Of course, in this way Prada becomes a fashion reference for the Italian aristocracy and the upper-middle class.

Prada eyewear, one of the brand's unique accessories

With the beginning of the XXI century the Italian house launches in 2000 its first sunglasses collections of both Prada and Miu Miu, the “pretty girl” of Miuccia Prada, granddaughter of the founder and who joins in the mid-70s to become a legend.

Since its launch, the glasses of both brands attracted attention and many of those first models ended up becoming icons in the accessories and Eyewear sector. More recently we have the example of the Prada PR 17WS model in black color, the perfect closet background for all looks and all styles.

Prada glasses, style & comfort

Prada glasses are so iconic and important in the world of fashion in general that simply by searching for “Prada glasses” comes out its latest bestseller, as it is the most sought after, most desired and best-selling model in all available colors, since one of the characteristics of the firm is the creation of trends, of shapes that will become legend, and then adapts to the color trends of each season.

One of the reasons why Prada sunglasses are a success year after year are their designs, elegant and sober and perfect for men and women with style and looking for exceptional quality in their clothes and accessories.

Given the great success of its first collections of sunglasses Prada was clear that they had to continue that path to become one of the firms that launches more models each season. Without forgetting its optical frames, with excellent quality and a design with special touches, but do not lose that elegance and sophistication that allow you to wear Prada glasses with any look.

Materials and styles Prada glasses

Another reason that has made Prada a symbol in the world of Eyewear is the quality with which it manufactures each of its sunglasses and eyeglass frames. Resistant materials that make Prada glasses eternal, backed by years of experience of the maison itself as well as those of its current glasses’ supplier Luxottica.

Although in all its collections Prada always leaves room to surprise us with riskier shapes, while maintaining the most basic and combinable colors, the truth is that Prada maintains a unique style in their glasses that moves from fashion to accessories. An elegant, sophisticated and sober style to suit all audiences.
