In the years following, Prada begins selling waterproof handbags while expanding the market for his goods.

In 1978, Mario Prada’s granddaughter, Miuccia Prada, inherits the Prada label – continuing to design waterproof handbags. By the 1980s, Prada’s handbags become an international sensation, providing a launch pad into the world of haute couture.

In 1989, Prada successfully debuts its first ready-to-wear collection, quickly becoming a fashion-industry leader. Today, Prada is distributed through a global network of boutiques, continuing to innovate in the use of fabric and design.
