Re:Nylon
It has always been a major material for Prada. 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 as well as Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, hypebeast-ready diffusion line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). Now the powerhouse Milan-based house has reimagined its iconic nylon bags by transforming them into eco-friendly re:Nylon fabrics. The new collection includes six classic styles: bags for belts (pictured), shoulder bags (pictured) and a tote bag (pictured) and duffle bag (pictured), and two backpacks - made of repurposed ECONYL fabrics that are made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.
prada man handbag is the result of a partnership with Aquafil, a Italian textile yarn maker that produces Econyl fabric using regenerated nylon waste. This fabric can be recycled many times without losing its quality. It's part of a wider initiative to shift from virgin nylon to re:Nylon throughout the entire Prada portfolio by 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. The collection includes six new Re:Nylon handbags, a pair ECONYL shoes and boots, and a selection of clothing made of the same material.
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 is a collaboration between Bonnie Wright, an environmentalist and Harry Potter actress, as well as National Geographic explorer Asher Jay visiting a carpet recycling facility in Arizona that converts old nylon into repurposed ECONYL.
With the transition to re:Nylon, Prada is achieving its most significant reduction in virgin nylon use yet, resulting in the saving of 70,000 barrels of oil per year, The Business of Fashion reports. Additionally, the change will reduce the company's emissions by 57,000 tons. This is the latest sustainability initiative by the label which recently made it fur-free in its clothes and accessories, which was which was lauded by environmentalists and animal rights activists alike.
Recycled nylon
Recycled nylon has its drawbacks. It isn't biodegradable and will be buried in landfills or the ocean for decades until it is broken down into smaller particles that could cause harm to wildlife. The fabric also sheds microplastics after washing. It also consumes 50 percent less energy to make compared to regular virgin nylon and is more durable than other bag fabrics such as wool or cotton.
The fabric is made from a combination of waste plastic and petroleum, which is produced from fossil fuels. This means that it doesn't require more natural resources as well as the carbon emissions that result from the 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 an ideal choice for bags that will be used regularly like gym and yoga gear.
In addition to its environmental advantages in addition to its environmental benefits, recycled nylon is a more durable and more flexible material than traditional cotton or polyester. It's also able to endure a lot of abuse and makes it ideal for backpacks and other outdoor equipment. The material is also incredibly light and can be easily shaped and stitched to create the ideal shape for bags. Nylon is also a great choice for outdoor gear because it is waterproof, and it doesn't absorb odors or mildew as easily as other fabrics.
When you're choosing a bag that's sustainable ensure that you look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification tests for chemical residues as well in ensuring environmental and social responsibility. This certification is a great indicator of brands that are honest and responsible.
Patagonia offers, for example backpacks, ranges of backpacks and yoga gear made from recycled nylon, referred to as Econyl. The nylon is created in a closed loop system which uses 50 percent less energy than virgin nylon. Additionally, the brand supports organizations working to save our planet.
