Re:Nylon

Nylon has been a crucial material for Prada. The debut of the brand's '84 collection 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 as well as Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, hypebeast-ready diffusion line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The Milan-based powerhouse has changed its iconic nylon bags into eco-friendly recycled nylon fabrics. The new collection includes six classic designs including bags for belts, shoulder bag, tote bag duffle bag and two backpacks made of recycled ECONYL fabric that is made from recycled fishing nets, plastics and prada bag black textile fiber waste sourced worldwide.
