Discount Designer Man Prada Shoes, Sneakers & Sandals

The heritage of Prada fashion can be traced back to 1913 Milan, Italy when Miuccia Prada's grandfather Mario Prada opened a small boutique specializing in high quality leather goods and accessories catering to the rich and influential. The orginal classic Prada suitcase made for train travel was made of heavy walrus skin, however, as plane travel became the order of the day Prada moved to lighter bags featuring high quality items made of crystals, tortoise shell and wood. Eventually, Miuccia Prada and her husband Patrizio Bertelli took over the family-run leather goods business and in 1989 Prada presented it's first ready to wear designer collection. By the mid 1990's with the help of such celebrities as Uma Thurman and Nicole Kidman, the Prada line featuring the prada embossed triangle had grown to be quite the status symbol. Cameron Diaz wore a beautiful Prada gown to the 2003 Oscar Awards. Today, the Prada Group company has over 247 stores world wide and is also sold internationally through department stores. Italy still serves as Prada's largest single market. Prada shoes are known for comfort, quality and style. Their sneakers are particularly popular.
