Re:Nylon
Prada has always utilized nylon as its main material. The brand's debut in 1984 of Pocone in its collection of accessories and bags was praised worldwide. Miuccia
prada bag handbag expanded the collection to include nylon dresses for her own label and Linea Rossa, the nylon-heavy collection that buzzbeast-ready Frank Ocean recently dressed himself in at the Met Gala. The Milan-based powerhouse has redesigned its iconic nylon bags into sustainable reNylon fabrics. The new collection includes six classic designs including a belt bag, shoulder bag, tote bag duffle bag and two backpacks made of repurposed ECONYL fabric made from recycled fishing nets,
[Redirect-302] plastics and textile fiber waste sourced worldwide.
The repurposed fabric is a result of a partnership with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn manufacturer that produces Econyl fabric using regenerated nylon waste, which can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality. The Business of Fashion reports that the repurposed fabric is part of a larger plan to shift Prada's entire collection from virgin nylon to Re:Nylon by 2021. The collection includes six new Re:Nylon handbags, a pair ECONYL shoes and boots, and a selection of clothing made of the same material.
Prada and National Geographic produced a series "What We Carry", a video series that highlights the innovative 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 which transforms old nylon into repurposed ECONYL.
The Business of Fashion reports that Prada's switch to re-Nylon is their largest reduction in virgin nylon so far. It will save 70,000 barrels of crude oil each year. The move will also reduce the carbon emissions of the company by around 57,000 tonnes. This is the latest sustainability initiative by the label that recently went fur-free in its clothing and accessories, which was which was lauded by environmentalists and animal rights activists alike.
Recycled nylon
Recycled nylon is not without its drawbacks. It isn't biodegradable and will remain in oceans or landfills for decades before being broken down into smaller particles that can cause harm to wildlife. The fabric also sheds microplastics after washing. It consumes 50 percent less energy than regular virgin nylon, and is also more durable.
The fabric is an amalgamation of waste petroleum and plastics, which comes from fossil fuels. This reduces the demand for more natural resources as well as the carbon emissions resulting from the production of virgin nylon. It is also less difficult than other bag materials to handle, since it doesn't need to be dyed or weaved. This makes it a good option for bags that will be used often, such as gym and yoga equipment.
Recycled nylon is more durable and flexible than cotton or polyester, which are both traditional fabrics. It is also able to withstand the most severe abuse which makes it ideal for backpacks and outdoor equipment. The material is also incredibly lightweight and is easily shaped and stitched to create the desired shape of bags. Nylon is a great fabric for outdoor gear, because it is impervious to water and does not absorb smells.
When selecting a bag that is sustainable, look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification. This certification tests for chemical residues as well as social and environmental responsibility. This certification is a good indicator of brands that are honest and accountable.
Patagonia provides, for instance, a range backpacks and yoga gear made from recycled nylon, referred to as Econyl. The nylon is created using a closed loop system that uses 50 percent less energy than virgin nylon. Additionally, the brand supports organizations working to save our planet.
