Prada Mainline Padded Long Coat

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 2007 season is constructed from Prada’s signature waterproof nylon material with a layer of padding for warmth and comfort. There are 2 main pockets on the exterior and another 2 compartments on the interior. Details such as the darted elbows, cuffs and hem ensure for an impeccable fit.

Great condition with minor signs of wear.
