About Prada.

Founded in 1913 by Mario Prada in Milan, Prada began as a leather goods shop in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II selling imported English steamer trunks and handbags. The iconic triangular logo—representing the Savoy coat of arms—was adopted in 1919 when Prada became official supplier to the Italian Royal House. Under Miuccia Prada’s creative direction since 1978, the brand revolutionized luxury fashion with the introduction of the black nylon backpack in 1984, transforming industrial material into high fashion. Today, Prada remains synonymous with intellectual luxury and innovative design.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Prada online purchases?

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.

Do I need to show my Prada purchase at customs?

High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.

What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?

You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.

How long does it take to get my refund?

With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
