The Prada Label
from About.com
The Prada label was started in 1913 by Mario Prada, who sold handbags, shoes and suitcases in two namesake boutiques in Milan. In 1978 Mario's granddaughter Miuccia took over the company, and she has been the brand's creative force ever since. One of the most groundbreaking things that Miuccia did was introduce a black nylon fabric handbag to the line in 1985, and it has since become a hallmark of the brand. Now Prada's nylon bags can be found in numerous colors and shapes, including this sassy red hobo. Just be sure to look for the Prada triangle logo on the front.
