Nylon bags have been synonymous with Prada since the late '70s. Miuccia Prada decided to use military-grade nylon fabric to create a lineup of practical yet stylish bags that go against the norm of using conventional materials. Decades later, the brand’s nylon bag is still a hit; redefining the idea of luxury by turning an unconventional material into something as covetable as their luxury leatherware.
Since then, the fashion house has produced a lineup of highly covetable nylon collections from totes, to backpacks, to handbags. If you’ve opened Instagram recently, chances are you’ve seen Prada Nylon bags on the arms of your favorite celebs and influencers. The most popular, of course, are the Prada Re-Edition Nylon Bags.
The sporty and chic purse was initially released in the ’90s and early 2000s already amassing a cult following with its baguette-like shape and signature material. So it’s no surprise that years later, the fashion house reissued the iconic accessory allowing a new generation of style-savvy personalities to indulge. Not only did Miucca reinvent the bag, but also started producing them more sustainably through the brand’s collection called the Prada Re-Nylon. The line features a collection of clothing and accessories crafted from regenerated nylon created from recycled plastics fusing modern luxury with simplistic industrial beauty.
If you’re thinking of copping this cool designer arm candy for yourself, but aren’t quite sure what to pair it with, below are some cool and current ways to style your Prada nylon bags, as seen on celebrities.
