Re:Nylon
Prada has always employed nylon as its main material. The debut of the brand's '84 collection of Pocone nylon in its bag and accessory line earned 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 diffusion line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The Milan-based brand has reinvented its iconic nylon bags by transforming them into sustainable re:Nylon fabric. The new collection features six classic designs - one belt bag (pictured), a shoulder bag (pictured), the tote bag (pictured), a duffle bag (pictured) and two backpacks - made of repurposed ECONYL fabrics made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.
The repurposed material is the result of a partnership with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn producer that makes Econyl fabric using regenerated nylon waste, which can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality. The Business of Fashion reports that the repurposed material is part of a larger plan to transition Prada's entire portfolio from virgin nylon to Re:Nylon by 2021. In addition to the six Re:Nylon bags, the collection includes a pair of boots and shoes constructed from recycled ECONYL, as well as various apparel items made of the same fabric.
To celebrate the launch, Prada partnered with National Geographic to produce a series of videos titled "What We Carry" that showcases the cutting-edge process that is used to create Re:Nylon bags. The first video features Harry Potter actress and environmentalist Bonnie Wright and National Geographic Explorer Asher Jay touring an Arizona carpet recycling facility that turns old nylon into recycled ECONYL.
With the switch to re:Nylon, Prada is achieving the biggest reduction in virgin nylon use to date, resulting in the reduction of the company 70,000 barrels of oil each year, The Business of Fashion reports. 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 that recently went fur-free in its clothes and accessories, a move applauded by both animal rights activists and environmentalists alike.
Recycled nylon
While it may be better for the environment than nylon, recycled nylon still has its downsides. It's not biodegradable and can sit in landfills or oceans for a long time until it is broken down into smaller particles which can harm wildlife. The fabric also sheds microplastics after washing. It uses 50% less energy than regular nylon, and is more durable.
Online Designer Handbags is made from an amalgamation of petroleum and waste plastic that is made by burning fossil fuels. This reduces both the need for more natural resources and carbon emissions from production of virgin nylon. It is also more manageable than other bags because it doesn't have to be dyed or woven. This makes it a great option for bags used often, such as gym or yoga gear.
Recycled nylon is stronger and more flexible than cotton or polyester, which are both traditional fabrics. It's also able to endure the most severe abuse and makes it ideal for backpacks and other outdoor gear. The material is also incredibly light and can be 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 easily as other fabrics.
When choosing bags that are sustainable, look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification. This certification tests for chemical residues, aswell as social and environmental responsibility. This certification is an excellent indicator of brands that are transparent and responsible.
Patagonia offers, for example, a range backpacks and yoga equipment made of recycled nylon, which is known as Econyl. This nylon is made in a closed-loop system that requires 50% less energy than regular virgin nylon. Moreover, the brand supports organizations that are working to protect our planet.
