Prada Mainline Wool Hooded Overcoat

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 rare piece from the early 2000s is a hooded wool overcoat with an interior zipper. It features 2 large chest pockets and 2 standard hand pockets. The large hood has a unique adjustment system and the cuffs can be adjusted too.

Good condition with some minor signs of wear.
