Prada Mainline Leather Jacket

Before Miuccia Prada took over the fashion house in the late 1970s, Prada had not been much different from other luxury brands with their products, solely offering a range of luxury leather goods. Miuccia decided to experiment with different materials in order to give Prada a fresh look (Leather had been the most used material by fashion houses at the time). In 1979, Miuccia introduced the first range of bags constructed from a heavy duty nylon material, which had been labelled as an ‘anti-luxury’ material. These ‘anti-luxury’ luxury bags instantly became a hit. Prada later expanded into clothing in the 90s, continuing the use of Nylon in their designs, and have never looked back.

This particular piece from the Fall/Winter 2009 season features a full dark brown leather exterior with elasticated wool cuffs and collar for warmth and comfort. There are 2 main pockets and 2 chest pockets, with 2 stash pockets on the interior lining. 

Good overall condition with some minor signs of wear and age - one missing button and one broken button easily repaired (see pictures).
