Re:Nylon

Prada has always used nylon as its primary material. 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, buzzbeast-ready diffusion range that Frank Ocean recently dressed himself in at the Met Gala. Now the powerhouse Milan-based house has reimagined its iconic nylon bags, transforming them into eco-friendly re:Nylon fabrics. The new collection includes six classic designs - a belt bag (pictured) and a shoulder bag (pictured) as well as the tote bag (pictured) as well as a duffle bag (pictured) and two backpacks made of repurposed ECONYL fabrics made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.

The repurposed fabric is the result of a partnership with Aquafil, Bags Prada an Italian textile yarn producer that produces Econyl fabric using regenerated nylon waste, which can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality. It's part of a wider initiative to transition from virgin nylon to re:Nylon across the entire Prada portfolio by 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. The collection includes six new Re:Nylon handbags and a pair of ECONYL shoes and boots and a selection of clothing made of the same fabric.

Prada and National Geographic produced a series "What We Carry", an online series that focuses on the unique process used to create the Re:Nylon bags. The first video is a collaboration between 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 recycled 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. 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 clothes and accessories. This is the latest sustainability initiative.

Recycled Nylon

While it may be better for the environment than nylon, recycled nylon has its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable, and will remain in oceans or landfills for a long time until it is broken down into smaller particles that could cause harm to wildlife. The fabric also sheds microplastics after washing. However, it uses 50% less energy to produce as compared to regular nylon and is more durable than other bags like cotton or wool.

The fabric is made of a mixture of waste petroleum and plastics, both of that is made from fossil fuels. This reduces the demand for more natural resources, as well as the carbon emissions resulting from the production of nylon that is virgin. It is also more manageable than other bag materials because it doesn't have to be dyed and woven. This makes it an excellent option for bags frequently used, like gym or yoga gear.

Recycled nylon is more durable and flexible than cotton or polyester which are both traditional fabrics. It's also able to withstand the most severe abuse, which makes it perfect for backpacks and other outdoor equipment. The material is also incredibly light and can be easily formed and stitched into the desired shape of bags. Nylon is also a good choice for outdoor gear because it is waterproof, and it doesn't absorb mildew or odors as easily as other fabrics.

If you are looking for bags that are sustainable, look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification. This certification checks for chemical residues, as in addition to social and environmental responsibility. This certification is an excellent indicator of brands that are honest and accountable.

Patagonia, for example, has a variety of backpacks and yoga gear made from recycled nylon, also known as Econyl. This nylon is made using a closed-loop method that uses 50% less energy than regular virgin nylon. The brand also supports organizations which are dedicated to protecting our planet.
