Prada Symbole: the triangle that stopped whispering
Prada Symbole
In 1913 Mario Prada drew a triangle as a seal for steamer trunks. A century later that triangle is sculpted, tripled and impossible to miss: welcome to Symbole, the line where Prada's emblem stops whispering.
From seal to sculpture
Most logos are printed on. The Symbole triangle is carved into the acetate — a three-dimensional relief that runs along the temples and catches light like jewellery. Around it, Prada builds bold nineties-inspired geometry: straight browlines, decisive angles, glossy black, talc and havana.
It is unmistakably Prada, and deliberately so: Symbole is the line for those who want the house on their face, not hidden inside it.
Some logos are printed. This one is carved.

DiscoverHow to wear it (and glaze it)
Symbole frames are statements: they pair best with clean outfits that let the geometry talk — monochrome looks, sharp tailoring, minimal jewellery. Sizes run bold but wearable; the PR 17WS in particular flatters more faces than its runway aura suggests.
And yes — every Symbole model can be fitted with prescription or custom sun lenses through our configurator, keeping the original aesthetic intact.
