Prada backpack ($1,750) and tricks ($340 each)
Ever an icon, Prada’s Vela bag is being reissued as part of Prada’s new Re-Nylon collection, with virgin nylon
eschewed in favor of ECONYL, an innovative yarn developed by Prada and Aquafil. Endlessly recyclable,
the fabric is created from salvaged plastic waste—including ocean pollutants and discarded fishing nets. “Re-Nylon
is the beginning of a new era for Prada,” says Miuccia Prada’s son Lorenzo Bertelli, a key champion of the textile.
