Miu Miu Handbags - Daughter Of Prada.

Miu Miu Handbags! Luckily for all of us that aren’t ready to invest in Prada handbags, Prada opened up their more relaxed line, Miu Miu, in 1993.

Miuccia Prada, the founder of Prada, decided to debut the line to fit the niche for people that still want a hip look but aren’t ready for the Prada pricetags. Her friends call Miuccia Miu Miu. That cute little nickname does sound close to “meow meow” in Italian.

Prada was founded in 1913 as a leather-goods maker by Miuccia’s grandfather, Mario, Prada now includes men and women’s lines as well as shoes, bags, glasses and makeup. Miuccia runs the business with her husband, Patrizio Bertelli. The company decided to go public in 1991, which gave them a lot more money for expansion. Miu Miu handbags hit the states almost 10 years ago with a California store in 1997.

miu miu handbags originally came as a secondary line from Prada Miu Miu provides sportwear that is a little more artsy-craftsy that you’d find in other sportwear lines.
