Italian luxury fashion brand Prada has opened its third store in Malaysia’s largest city, Kuala Lumpur.

The new store is in The Gardens Mall, fast becoming a drawcard for luxury brands and adjacent to Mid Valley Megamall.

The new space, designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi, covers a total area of 390 sqm on a single level and houses the women’s and men’s leather goods, accessories and footwear collections as well as the men’s ready-to-wear collection.

The area dedicated to the women’s collections is characterised by the signature black-and-white marble chequered flooring – a legacy of Prada’s identity worldwide – and green fabric-clad walls with Prada’s iconic niches exalting the products. Polished steel display counters with drawers covered in coloured saffiano leather and green velvet sofas complete the setting.

The space devoted to men discloses masculine materials and finishes. The first room, dedicated to leather goods and accessories, features black marble-clad walls with elegant polished steel display cases.

The area hosting the men’s ready-to-wear and footwear collections is characterised by ebony floorboards and walls, dark brown carpeting and light cotto-coloured leather sofas. Polished steel display cases and display counters embellished with drawers covered in coloured saffiano leather complete the furnishing.
