Re:Nylon
Prada has always used nylon as its primary material. The brand's '84 debut of Pocone nylon in its bag and accessory line garnered it worldwide acclaim, while Miuccia Prada later expanded the collection with nylon dresses for her own 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 eco-friendly recycled nylon fabrics. The new collection features six classic designs -- a belt bag, shoulder bag, tote bag duffle bag and two backpacks -- in recycled ECONYL fabric made from recycled plastics, fishing nets and textile fiber waste that is sourced worldwide.
The material that is repurposed is a result of a partnership with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn producer which produces Econyl fabric using recycled nylon waste, which can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality. The Business of Fashion reports that the repurposed fabric is part of a larger effort to change the entire Prada portfolio from virgin nylon to Re:Nylon by 2021. In addition to the six Re:Nylon bags, the line includes a pair of shoes and boots made of recycled ECONYL, as well as various apparel items made of the same material.
To celebrate the launch, Prada partnered with National Geographic to create the series of videos known as "What We Carry" that exposes the cutting-edge technology that goes into creating 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 which transforms old nylon into repurposed ECONYL.
With the transition to re:Nylon Prada is undergoing the biggest reduction in virgin nylon use yet, saving 70,000 barrels of oil per year, The Business of Fashion reports. The move will also cut the carbon emissions of the company by about 57,000 tonnes. It's the latest sustainability effort from the label, which just went fur-free in its clothes and accessories, a decision that was that was lauded by environmentalists and animal rights activists alike.
Recycled nylon
While it may be better for the environment than nylon, recycled nylon still has its own drawbacks. It's not biodegradable, and will be buried in landfills or the ocean for a long time until it is broken down into smaller pieces which can harm wildlife. It is also not breathable and may shed microplastics when washed. It consumes 50% less energy than regular nylon, and is more durable.
The fabric is recycled petroleum and plastics, that is made from fossil fuels. This helps reduce the need for more natural resources, and also the carbon emissions that come from the production of virgin nylon. It is also easier to handle than other bag materials since it doesn't require to be dyed and weaved. This makes it an ideal choice for bags that will be used often for gym or yoga gear.
Recycled nylon is stronger and more flexible than polyester or cotton that are both traditional fabrics. It is also able to withstand the most severe wear and tear, making it ideal for backpacks and outdoor equipment. It is also extremely lightweight and is easily cut and stitched to form the ideal shape for a bag. Nylon is also a good 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 be sure to look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification tests for chemical residues, aswell in ensuring environmental and social responsibility. This certification is a great indicator of brands that are transparent and accountable.
prada bag shoulder is a good example. It offers a range of backpacks and yoga gear that are made from recycled nylon called Econyl. The nylon is made in a closed loop process which uses 50% less energy than virgin nylon. The brand also supports groups that work to protect our planet.
