very rare antique Prada wardrobe trunk

Unrestored black antique Prada trunk white red/white stripes.

The Prada brand was established in 1913 by the Prada brothers (fratelli Prada) in a small barn behind their family house.

They started out as leather makers first and luggage makers second. Black was their favourite colour back then,  nowadays still the most sold colour and also the colour of this trunk.

Only a few of these trunks have been built. The handle on top of the trunk is numbered.

A model like this is called the wardrobe model for it can hold an entire wardrobe while travelling. It has the original removable shoe case inside, on the left downside.

On the outside it has several travelling labels, one from a Swiss Interlaken hotel.

The size of the trunk is 60x112x55cm.
