Re:Nylon
Prada has always utilized nylon as its main material. The brand's '84 debut of Pocone nylon in its bags and accessory line won the world's attention, and Miuccia Prada later expanded the collection with nylon dresses for her eponymous label and Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, hypebeast-ready diffusion line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The Milan-based brand has reimagined its iconic nylon bags by transforming them into eco-friendly re:Nylon fabrics. The new collection includes six classic designs that include bags for belts, shoulder bag, tote bag, duffle bag and two backpacks made from repurposed ECONYL fabric made from recycled plastics, fishing nets and textile fiber waste that is sourced globally.
The material that is recycled is the result of a collaboration with Aquafil, a textile yarn producer in Italy that produces Econyl fabric using recycled nylon waste. This fabric can be recycled many times without losing its quality. The Business of Fashion reports that the repurposed fabric is part of a larger plan to change the entire Prada portfolio from virgin nylon to Re:Nylon by 2021. In addition to the six Re:Nylon bags, the range also includes a pair boots and shoes constructed from repurposed ECONYL as well as various apparel items made of the same fabrication.
To celebrate the launch, Prada partnered with National Geographic to create a series of videos titled "What We Carry" that shows the cutting-edge process which is used to make Re:Nylon bags. The first video includes Harry Potter actress and environmentalist Bonnie Wright and National Geographic explorer Asher Jay touring an Arizona carpet recycling facility that transforms old nylon into repurposed ECONYL.
The Business of Fashion reports that Prada's switch to re-Nylon is the most significant reduction in virgin nylon to date. It will save 70 000 barrels of crude oil per year. The move will also cut the carbon emissions of the company by around 57,000 tonnes. prada crossbody bag went fur-free on its clothing and accessories. This is the most recent sustainability initiative.
Recycled nylon
Recycled nylon has its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable and will remain in landfills or the oceans until it is broken down into smaller particles that can harm wildlife. The fabric is also not breathable and can shed microplastics when washed. It consumes 50% less energy than regular nylon, and is more durable.
The fabric is recycled petroleum and plastics, that is made from fossil fuels. This means that it doesn't require for more natural resources as well as the carbon emissions resulting from the production virgin nylon. It is also more manageable than other bags, as it doesn't need to be dyed and woven. This makes it a great option for bags that are frequently used, such as gym or yoga gear.
In addition to its environmental advantages, recycled nylon is a stronger and more flexible material than traditional polyester or cotton. It's also able stand up to a lot of abuse and makes it ideal for backpacks and other outdoor gear. It is also lightweight and can easily be shaped and stitched to the desired shape of backpacks. Nylon is a great material for outdoor gear because it's resistant to water and doesn't absorb smells.
