After spending years eyeing San Francisco as a top spot for retail, Prada recently opened a flagship store in the city surrounded by bridges and bays. For Prada, this is its 11th U.S. retail outlet and its first U.S. store opening since 2004. The 5,650-square-foot store at 201 Post St. is in the heart of San Francisco’s shopping district near Union Square. The store carries a full line of men’s and women’s clothing as well as accessories and luggage.
