Founded in 1913 in Italy, the Prada Group was built on a tradition of excellence and with a vision of innovation. The Group, a world leader in the luxury sector, operates in more than 45 countries with the PRADA, Miu Miu, Church’s, and Car Shoe brands, and has employees of over one hundred nationalities. The acquisition of Pasticceria Marchesi 1824 has marked the Group’s entry into the food sector, applying the same high-quality criteria. Very proactive also in the art field, the Prada Group strengthens its presence through contemporary art projects in constant evolution.
