Re:Nylon

Nylon has long been a major material for Prada. The brand's '84 debut of Pocone nylon in its bags and accessory line won an international acclaim. Miuccia Prada later expanded the collection with nylon dresses for her own label and Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, hypebeast-ready diffusion line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The renowned Milan-based house has reimagined its iconic nylon bags, transforming them into eco-friendly re:Nylon fabrics. The new collection includes six classic styles: one belt bag (pictured) and a shoulder bag (pictured) and a tote bag (pictured), duffle bag (pictured) and two backpacks - in recycled ECONYL fabrics made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.

The material that is repurposed is a result of a collaboration with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn producer that makes Econyl fabric out of recycled nylon waste that can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality. It's part a larger plan to move from virgin nylon to re:Nylon throughout the entire Prada portfolio in 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. The collection includes six new Re:Nylon handbags and Prada bags for women a pair of ECONYL shoes and boots and a selection of clothing made from the same fabric.

Prada and National Geographic produced a series "What We Carry", a video series that highlights the revolutionary process used to create Re:Nylon bags. The first video is a collaboration between 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.

The Business of Fashion reports that Prada's move to re-Nylon is its biggest reduction in virgin nylon to date. It will save 70,000 barrels of crude oil each year. Furthermore, the move will reduce the company's carbon footprint by an estimated 57,000 tons. The label recently went fur-free on its clothing and accessories. This is the most recent sustainable initiative.

Recycled nylon

While it may be better for the environment than nylon, recycled nylon still has its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable. It will sit for decades in landfills or the oceans until it is broken into smaller particles which can endanger wildlife. The fabric also sheds microplastics after washing. However, it uses 50 percent less energy to make when compared to regular virgin nylon and is more durable than other bag fabrics like wool or cotton.

The fabric is constructed from a combination of waste plastic and petroleum, which is produced from fossil fuels. This means that it doesn't require more natural resources and also the carbon emissions resulting from the production of virgin nylon. It is also easier than other bags to handle as it does not need to be dyed or weaved. This makes it a great option for bags that are frequently used, such as yoga or gym gear.

Recycled nylon is more durable and flexible than cotton or polyester that are both traditional fabrics. It's also able endure the most severe abuse and is therefore ideal for backpacks and other outdoor gear. The material is also incredibly light and can be easily shaped and stitched to create the ideal shape for a bag. Nylon is a great fabric for outdoor gear, as it is resistant to water and doesn't absorb odors.

When choosing a sustainable bag, make sure to look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification checks for chemical residues as in addition to social and environmental responsibility. Be sure to look for brands that have this certification because they are likely to be more transparent and responsible in their product offerings.

Patagonia, for example, has a variety of yoga equipment and backpacks that are made of recycled nylon, which is known as Econyl. The nylon is produced in a closed-loop system that uses 50 percent less energy than virgin nylon. Additionally, the brand supports organisations that work to protect the environment.
