Italian powerhouse Prada dates back to the early 1900s, when it began producing fine leather goods for the country's high society. In the late 70s, Miuccia Prada masterminded a revival of the somewhat moribund family business, setting it upon a path of soaring international stellar success. A hugely prestigious figure within the fashion industry, Prada's intelligent, feminine collections are subject to intense analysis from her peers and critics alike. To this fashion milieu, she responds: 'I love clothes. Maybe I can say I don't love fashion, but I love clothes completely'. Take your pick from a sleek selection of beautifully crafted Prada wallets and finish off your look with unmistakable Italian refinement.

FAQ
- What is Prada Saffiano leather?
A textured leather with a resistant waxed finish, its cross-hatched structure and stiff composition makes it easier to handle during manufacturing and more durable for the consumer.

Whilst the brand still holds the patent, other leather goods brands like Michael Kors and Aspinal of London have come to adopt this unique leather.
- How can I tell if my Prada wallet is genuine?
Each Prada product comes with a unique model number, serial number, and authentication card. If in doubt, you can also email client service at Prada to ask them about the model number or the serial number of your item.
- How much does a Prada wallet cost?
Women’s Prada wallets range from £215 for a saffiano leather cardholder, to £590 for the large Cahier purse.
