Re:Nylon

It has always been a major material for Prada. The brand's '84 debut of Pocone nylon in its bags and accessory line won it worldwide acclaim, while Miuccia Prada later expanded the collection with nylon dresses for her eponymous label and Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, hypebeast-ready line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The Milan-based powerhouse has changed its iconic nylon bags into sustainable ReNylon fabrics. The new collection comes with six classic styles including bags for belts, a shoulder bag, tote bag, duffle bag and two backpacks -- in repurposed ECONYL fabric made from recycled fishing nets, plastics and textile fiber wastes sourced all over the world.

The repurposed material is the result of a collaboration with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn manufacturer that produces Econyl fabric using regenerated nylon waste, which can be reused over and over again without losing its quality. It's part of an overall initiative to transition from virgin nylon to re:Nylon across the entire Prada portfolio in 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. The collection includes six new handbags made of Re:Nylon and a pair of ECONYL boots and shoes, and a selection of clothing made of the same fabric.

To celebrate the launch, Prada partnered with National Geographic to produce the series of videos known as "What We Carry" that exposes the cutting-edge technology which is used to make its Re:Nylon bags. The first video includes Bonnie Wright, an environmentalist and Harry Potter actress, and National Geographic explorer Asher Jay visiting a carpet recycling facility in Arizona that converts old nylon into recycled ECONYL.

The Business of Fashion reports that Prada's move to re-Nylon is its largest reduction in virgin nylon so far. It will save 70 000 barrels of crude oil every year. The move will also cut the carbon emissions of the company by around 57,000 tons. This is the latest sustainability initiative from the label which recently made it fur-free in its clothes and accessories, a move that was lauded by animal rights activists and environmentalists alike.

Recycled nylon

Recycled nylon is not without its disadvantages. It's not biodegradable, and will remain in oceans or landfills for decades until it is broken down into smaller pieces that could cause harm to wildlife. The fabric also sheds microplastics after washing. However, it requires 50% less energy to produce when compared to regular virgin nylon and is more durable than other bag fabrics like wool or cotton.

The fabric is constructed from an amalgamation of petroleum and waste plastic, which is produced from fossil fuels. This reduces the demand for more natural resources and also the carbon emissions that come from the production of nylon that is virgin. It is also easier to handle than other bags since it doesn't require to be dyed or woven. This makes it an excellent option for bags frequently used, such as gym or yoga gear.

In addition to its environmental benefits, recycled nylon is a stronger and more flexible material than traditional cotton or polyester. It can also withstand hand bags Prada an enormous amount of abuse, which makes it a great choice for backpacks and outdoor gear. The material is also incredibly lightweight and is easily cut and stitched to form the desired shape of a bag. Nylon is a great option for outdoor gear since it is water resistant, and it doesn't absorb mildew or odors as readily as other fabrics.

When choosing a sustainable bag, make sure to look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification test chemical residues, as well as social and environmental responsibility. Look for brands that have this certification, as they are likely to be more transparent and accountable with their products.

Patagonia is a good example. It has a variety of yoga gear and backpacks that are made from recycled nylon, also known as Econyl. The nylon is made using a closed loop system that consumes 50 percent less energy than virgin nylon. Additionally, the brand supports organisations that work to protect the environment.
