I plucked this Pradacotton top from the racks, grinning from ear to ear, walked over toshow Sloan who busted out laughing. Sloan said “are you kidding –PRADA?” The super fabulous thing about thrift stores is you never knowwhat you are going to find. Prada was founded in 1913 in Milan, Italyas a manufacturer of leather bags. What is known today as Prada ismostly the work of the founder’s grand daughter Miuccia Prada. Herinterest in unusual fabrics led to the distinctive trademark of Pradaproducts: the surprising combination of materials. Prada is said to bethe most prominent example of a new form of inward-directed luxury.While in the 80’s luxury was explicitly displayed, today an understatedluxury is sought, only recognizable by insiders. Thus, Prada clothesavoid very loud clouring and easily appealing appearances. They aredescribed as cool, comfortable, pure, graceful, and minimalistic. Thisgorgeous orange size large cotton blouse was priced at $4.39. I foundthis super cool short skirt by Laundrywith a big silver buckle and vertical zipper, this screams ROCK nROLL. This playful skirt size 6 was also priced at $4.39. The Pradatop with the Laundry skirt combined cost under $10.00, so now you knowwhy I’m still grinning.
