The Sea Has a New Style

In a world where sustainability has become an imperative, Prada, the definitive Italian House of fashion, has demonstrated that luxury and environmental responsibility can coexist. The House, celebrated for its timeless elegance and relentless innovation, has embarked on a compelling transformation that is redefining the standards of high fashion.

Prada set out to create a handbag collection from ECONYL, a regenerated fabric produced from plastic waste recovered from oceans, landfills, and fishing nets. This sustainable yarn — with the promise of infinite recyclability — embodies the House’s commitment to the circular economy.

Yet Prada’s vision extends well beyond the use of recycled materials. The House has forged a collaboration with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO through the SEA BEYOND program — an educational and research initiative engaging experts, scientists, and ambassadors in the protection of the world’s oceans and the fight against marine pollution.

Prada Re-Nylon is more than a collection — it is a declaration of intent. It is proof that luxury can be ethical, that fashion can be a genuine force for change. And it stands as an invitation for other Houses to follow, raising the industry’s standards and advancing a more sustainable future.

To explore the full scope of these initiatives, we invite you to discover the Re-Nylon collection and the SEA BEYOND project in depth.
