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 piece from 2017 is a parka style puffer jacket. It features 2 zipped chest pockets, 2 standard hand pockets and a pocket on the arm that sits below the signature logo. There are also 2 more interior compartments and adjustable cuffs.

Good overall condition with signs of wear - some damage to the right arm, zip replaced with a fully functioning YKK zipper and minor marks & holes around the jacket but lots of life left. 

Measurements:
