"For Prada, fashion, luxury and style have always been core aspects of a project that goes beyond production of clothes, footwear and handbags. Careful observation and interest in the world, society, and culture are at the core of Prada's creativity and modernity. This has pushed Prada beyond the physical limitations of boutiques and showrooms, leading us to interact with diverse, seemingly distant worlds, and introducing, very naturally, a new way of creating fashion". Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli. These values have transformed a family business into a major player in the luxury market worldwide. The PRADA Group is one of the world's leaders in the design, production and distribution of luxury handbags, leather goods, footwear, ready-to-wear apparel, accessories, eyewear and fragrances. The Group owns some of the most prestigious international brands: Prada, Miu Miu, Car Shoe and Church's. The Group operates in 70 countries through 345 directly operated stores, 30 franchise stores and a network of selected high-end multi-brand stores and luxury department stores. Prada's distinctive features and prestige derive from its particular industrial process management which allows the Group to offer its customers products of unequalled quality, creativity and exclusivity. A focus on quality permeates every aspect of the Group's business. The individual heritage and identity of each brand is rigorously defended with the Group's designers and craftsmen being constantly challenged to keep tradition alive through a continuous process of re-invention and innovation. Each step of the process, both inside and outside the company, is carefully monitored in order to guarantee uncompromised quality. The result is an exclusive relationship between each customer and the PRADA Group brands, its products, its communications and its stores. This is why customers recognize in Prada's products a personal and important part of their desire for self-expression and communication with the world around them. Car Shoe was founded in 1963 by Gianni Mostile, whose passion for racing cars led him to design handmade moccasins made from very soft leather and soles set on tiny rubber studs to enhance adherence to car pedals and were particularly suitable for driving sports cars. The Car Shoe driving shoe design was awarded a registered patent from the Italian Ministry of Trade and Industry in 1964 which has since expired. The brand has since become an Italian classic for driving shoes, known for its technical-design originality with high-quality leather and handmade craftsmanship. We believe Car Shoe is a symbol for exclusive lifestyle and luxury driving. Particularly suited for leisure time and informal occasions, Car Shoe products are targeted at a sporty and elegant clientele.Brand Details
