724 5th Avenue NY | Prada
In 1998, famed Italian footwear and handbag maker Prada decided to heighten its profile by opening its flagship store at this location (across the street from Trump Tower and Tiffany’s jewelry store). Its handbags (the target of counterfeiters) have been sought-after by women all over, rendering Prada a major woman’s brand (reinforced by the Hollywood film “The Devil Wears Prada”).
The 5th Avenue store also has a line of wallets, jewelry, small accessories and sunglasses for both women and men. Regarding menswear, Narrow black suits (from $1,900), dress shirts (about $395), and nylon accessories are staples at Prada. Tailored ready-to-wear tuxedos with two-button jackets start at $3,500 and will thrill longtime fans of the label.
