Re:Nylon

Nylon has long been a major material for Prada. The brand's ’84 debut of Pocone in its collection of accessories and bags received worldwide praise. Miuccia Prada expanded the collection to include nylon dresses for her own label as well as Linea Rossa, the nylon-heavy, buzzbeast-ready diffusion range that Frank Ocean recently dressed himself in for the Met Gala. The Milan-based powerhouse has redesigned its iconic nylon bags into eco-friendly recycled nylon fabrics. The new collection includes six classic designs - a belt bag (pictured), a shoulder bag (pictured), the tote bag (pictured) as well as duffle bag (pictured), and two backpacks - made of repurposed ECONYL fabrics made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.

The recycled material is the result of a partnership with Aquafil, a textile yarn manufacturer in Italy that makes Econyl fabric using regenerated nylon waste. The fabric can be reused many times without losing its quality. It's part of an overall initiative to shift from virgin nylon to re:Nylon throughout the entire Prada portfolio in 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. In addition to the six Re:Nylon bags, the range also includes a pair of shoes and boots made from repurposed ECONYL as well as an assortment of clothing made from the same material.

Prada and National Geographic produced a series "What We Carry", the video series that showcases the unique process used to create Re:Nylon bags. The first video includes Bonnie Wright, an environmentalist and Harry Potter actress, and National Geographic explorer Asher Jay visiting a carpet recycling plant in Arizona that converts old nylon into repurposed ECONYL.

With the shift to re:Nylon, Prada is making its biggest reduction in the use of virgin nylon yet, resulting in the saving of the company 70,000 barrels of oil each year, The Business of Fashion reports. Moreover, the move will reduce the company's emissions by 57,000 tonnes. The label has just gone fur-free on its clothing and accessories. This is the latest sustainable initiative.
