The brand's ’84 debut of Pocone in its bag-and-accessory line won it worldwide acclaim. Miuccia Prada expanded the collection to include nylon dresses for her own label and Linea Rossa, the nylon-heavy collection that buzzbeast-ready Frank Ocean recently dressed himself in for the Met Gala. The Milan-based powerhouse has transformed its iconic nylon bags into eco-friendly reNylon fabrics. The new collection features six classic styles: one belt bag (pictured), a shoulder bag (pictured), bags for totes (pictured) as well as duffle bags (pictured) and two backpacks made of repurposed ECONYL fabrics that are made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.The repurposed material is the result of a partnership with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn manufacturer that makes Econyl fabric out of regenerated nylon waste, which can be reused over and over again without losing its quality. The Business of Fashion reports that the repurposed fabric is part of a larger initiative to transition Prada's entire portfolio from virgin nylon to Re:Nylon by 2021. The collection includes six new handbags made of Re:Nylon and a pair of ECONYL shoes and boots 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 that goes into creating its Re:Nylon bags. The first video features Bonnie Wright, an environmentalist and Harry Potter actress, and National Geographic explorer Asher Jay visiting a carpet recycling facility in Arizona that transforms old nylon into recycled ECONYL.The Business of Fashion reports that Prada's decision to re-Nylon is their biggest reduction in virgin nylon to date. It will save 70,000 barrels of crude oil every year. This move will also lower the carbon emissions of the company by about 57,000 tons. The label has recently gone fur-free on its clothing and accessories. This is the most recent sustainability initiative.Recycled nylonRecycled nylon does not come without its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable. It will sit for decades in oceans or landfills until it is broken into smaller particles which can cause harm to wildlife. The fabric is also not breathable and may shed microplastics when washed. However, it uses 50 percent less energy to produce when compared to regular virgin nylon and is more durable than other bag materials such as wool or cotton.The fabric is made from a combination of petroleum and waste plastic, which is produced from fossil fuels. This helps reduce the need for more natural resources and the carbon emissions resulting from the production virgin nylon. It is also less difficult than other bags to handle as it does not need to be dyed or woven. This makes it an excellent choice for bags that are frequently used, like yoga or gym equipment.Recycled nylon is stronger and more flexible than polyester or cotton which are both traditional fabrics. It can also withstand a great deal of wear and tear, making it ideal for backpacks and outdoor gear. It is also lightweight and is easily cut and stitched into the desired shape of backpacks. Nylon is also a good option for outdoor gear since it is waterproof, and it doesn't absorb mildew or odors as readily as other fabrics.If you are looking for a bag that is sustainable ensure that you look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification is a test for chemical residues as well as environmental and social responsibility. Be sure to look for brands that have this certification since they are more likely to be more transparent and accountable with their products.Patagonia for instance, offers a range of backpacks and yoga gear that are made from recycled nylon, also known as Econyl. The nylon is produced in a closed-loop system that uses 50% less energy than regular virgin nylon. The brand also supports groups that are dedicated to protecting our planet.Leather TrimPrada bags are essential in the wardrobe of every fashion-conscious shopper.
