Founded at the dawn of the 20th century Prada’s brand represents the Italian elegancy and fashion appeal.

At the outset the brothers Prada opened a leather shop in Milan with the aim to propose saddlery products then a downtown until 1970 was necessary for Prada to become a reference in the fashion world. After all the collections kept coming and now offer prêt-à-porter, bags or shoes also with perfumes.

Prada opened a first Parisian boutique in 1986. that one has been followed by many others spread all over the capital city.

In order to discover the Prada shop located at rue Rivoli or within the Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, we suggest you to go down in a Helzear hotel near to the Champs-Élysées.
