Simply decorated with its triangular logo, Prada’s black nylon backpack became a minimalist status symbol of the 1990s. Constructed from industrial materials, it epitomized “invisible luxury.” In 1990, Prada professed to the The New Yorker, “I want always to mix the industrial way of doing things, with the patrimonio of the past, with the artisanal tradition.”
