7 Sustainable Bag And Accessory Brands To Buy Now
1/7 Prada
Prada’s full collection may not be sustainable – yet anyway – but with its new Re-Nylon capsule collection, the brand is definitely making positive steps in the right direction. The Re-Nylon collection introduces iconic Prada bags executed in a new regenerated nylon, ECONYL®, which is obtained through the recycling and purification process of plastic waste collected from oceans, fishing nets, and textile fibre waste. Partnering with UNESCO, a portion of the proceeds from the capsule collection will be donated to help fund an ocean sustainability education programme.

2/7 Bottega Veneta
Launched just in time for the spring/summer season, Bottega Veneta’s new cork bag is a sustainable and stylish option. The new eco offering appears on the brand’s iconic Pouch, as well as on The Shoulder Pouch and the Daisy cross-body. The material is made by recycling natural fibers of cork and fennel, which undergo treatments to be mounted on a fabric support. The finished result is not only incredibly chic, but also lightweight, waterproof and sustainable.
