Prada — Monte-Carlo
Two stores inaugurated on April 15, 2019: women's at the Hôtel de Paris, men's at the One Monte-Carlo complex — approximately 470 and 175 m².
Prada operates two boutiques in Monte-Carlo, inaugurated on the same day: Prada Donna at the Hôtel de Paris, avenue des Beaux-Arts, and Prada Uomo at the One Monte-Carlo complex, place du Casino.
What the sheet documents
The group’s official press release, dated April 15, 2019, gives the surface areas - approximately 470 m² on two levels for women, approximately 175 m² for men - and describes the architectural choices: entirely glass facade, black and white marble checkerboard floor, herringbone ceiling, furniture by major designers integrated into the spaces.
The opening is part of the same sequence as that of Louis Vuitton in February and Chanel in April: in a few weeks, the Carré d’Or is recomposed around One Monte-Carlo. Memoria can now date this change to the nearest day, for four houses.
The file also records a more modest but rare operating event: a release of smoke that occurred in the store on December 20, 2022, reported by the local press.
Why we archive it
That a house inaugurates two stores on the same day in a Principality of two square kilometers says something about Monegasque commercial density. It’s a fact of geography as much as fashion — and it’s dated.
The facts are paraphrased; only the source is cited. A correction? Write to Memoria.
