Re:Nylon

It has always been a major material for Prada. The debut of the brand's '84 collection Pocone in its collection of accessories and bags was praised worldwide. Miuccia Prada expanded the collection to include nylon dresses for her own label and Linea Rossa, the nylon-heavy collection of a buzzbeast-ready, sexy diffusion that Frank Ocean recently dressed himself in at the Met Gala. The Milan-based powerhouse has transformed its iconic nylon bags into sustainable reNylon fabrics. The new collection features six classic designs - one belt bag (pictured), shoulder bags (pictured) and the tote bag (pictured), duffle bags (pictured) and two backpacks - in repurposed ECONYL fabrics that are made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.

The recycled material is the result of a collaboration with Aquafil which is a textile yarn manufacturer in Italy that produces Econyl fabric from regenerated nylon waste. The fabric is able to be reused numerous times without losing its quality. It's part of an overall initiative to transition from virgin nylon to re:Nylon across the entire prada handbags man portfolio by 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. In addition to the six Re:Nylon bags, the line includes a pair of boots and shoes constructed from recycled ECONYL, as well as a range of apparel in the same fabric.

To celebrate the launch, Prada partnered with National Geographic to produce a series of videos titled "What We Carry" that shows the cutting-edge process that goes into creating Re:Nylon bags. The first video features Bonnie Wright, an environmentalist and Harry Potter actress, as well as National Geographic explorer Asher Jay visiting a carpet recycling plant in Arizona that converts old nylon into recycled ECONYL.

With the transition to re:Nylon Prada is achieving its biggest reduction in virgin nylon use yet, saving 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 tonnes. The label recently went fur-free on its clothing and accessories. This is the most recent sustainability initiative.

Recycled Nylon

Recycled nylon is not without its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable, and will sit in landfills or oceans for a long time until it is broken down into smaller pieces that could cause harm to wildlife. The fabric is also non-breathable and Online Designer Handbags can shed microplastics when washed. It also consumes 50% less energy to produce compared to regular virgin nylon and is more durable than other bags like cotton or wool.

The fabric is made from a combination of petroleum and waste plastic that is made by burning fossil fuels. This helps reduce the need for more natural resources and also the carbon emissions that result from the production of virgin nylon. It is also less difficult than other bags to handle since it doesn't need to be dyed or woven. This makes it a great choice for bags that will be used frequently, such as gym and yoga gear.

Recycled nylon is more durable and flexible than cotton or polyester which are both traditional fabrics. It is also able to withstand a great deal of abuse which makes it ideal for backpacks and outdoor equipment. The material is also incredibly lightweight and can be easily shaped and stitched to create the ideal shape for a bag. Nylon is a great choice for outdoor gear as it is waterproof, and it doesn't absorb mildew or odors as readily as other fabrics.

When you're choosing a bag that's sustainable be sure to look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification tests for chemical residues, as well in ensuring environmental and social responsibility. Look for brands that have this certification, as they are likely to be more transparent and responsible in their product offerings.

Patagonia, for example, offers a range of yoga gear and backpacks made from recycled nylon, also known as Econyl. The nylon is created in a closed loop process which uses 50% less energy than virgin nylon. The brand also supports organizations which help to protect the planet.
