A 2010 production PRADA LINEA ROSSA brown leather blouson.
PRADA LINEA ROSSA is a sportswear line established in 1997 by PRADA, the house founded in 1913 in Milan, Italy by Mario Prada and his brother Martino Prada.
From its inception through the 2000s, the line carried the designation "PRADA SPORT", until its relaunch in 2018 Autumn/Winter as PRADA LINEA ROSSA.
Following the success of their nylon-based offerings, founder Miuccia Prada and CEO Patrizio Bertelli envisioned bringing a sense of refinement to sportswear itself. PRADA LINEA ROSSA was born from this innovative vision.
The line seeks to integrate elements of sport and outdoor utility into luxury fashion, with a fundamental concept of delivering products that balance both functionality and style.
The pieces emerging from this line achieve high functionality and durability whilst maintaining a minimalist aesthetic—clean and refined in execution.
Notably, the designs embrace a genderless philosophy, offering pieces equally suited to men and women.
In this manner, PRADA LINEA ROSSA continues to anticipate the currents of its time, transcending conventional boundaries between sportswear and luxury fashion as an innovative collection in constant evolution.
We present to you a leather blouson from PRADA LINEA ROSSA, crafted from refined leather.
Stripped to essential form, this piece exemplifies a restrained design philosophy. The absence of unnecessary detail allows the quality of the material itself to emerge, imparting a refined minimalism.
The cuffs and hem are finished with ribbed knit, heightening fit whilst serving the functional purpose of preventing wind infiltration.
Action pleats at the shoulders accommodate natural movement. This considered engineering reduces strain during arm motion, lending comfort to the wearing experience.
The front closure employs a two-layer system comprising both a zip fastener and snap buttons in a hidden placket construction.
The zip slider bears the "riri" marking engraved with PRADA MILANO, denoting hardware from that esteemed manufacturer.
This piece is likely constructed from lamb leather.
Lamb leather—the hide of sheep less than one year of age—possesses a character distinct from bovine leather. While less durable than its heavier counterpart, it is distinguished by a tactile quality of remarkable refinement: fine-grained, supple, and possessed of an almost adhesive softness.
It manifests a lightness and suppleness that belies its material nature, delivering a sensation of weightlessness and effortless wear. Many approach leather pieces with hesitation given the stiffness often associated with the material, yet such concerns are entirely dispelled here.
The colour is a sophisticated dark brown.
Like black, it conveys a composed impression, yet imparts greater warmth, allowing it to integrate naturally across numerous contexts.
The interplay between this tone and the leather's inherent lustre yields a depth of colour that is visually compelling, with particular beauty emerging in how light catches its surface.
For those seeking a refined leather piece of enduring simplicity and quality, this represents a worthy acquisition.
Size is marked as "48"

We encourage wearing it at true size—a piece deserving of understated, refined presentation.

There are no significant defects impeding wear, making this readily wearable.
