Let’s be real—when someone says “luxury,” nylon probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But leave it to Prada to take something so simple, so unexpected, and turn it into a full-blown fashion statement.
At JLCC, we’re all about icons. And Prada’s nylon? It’s one of those quiet icons that never tries too hard—but always delivers.
How It All Started
Back in the late ’70s, Miuccia Prada took over the family business and decided to shake things up. Instead of sticking to leather and traditional materials, she looked at nylon—the same fabric used for military tents and parachutes—and thought, “Why not?”
Then came 1984. Prada dropped the now-legendary Vela nylon backpack. Sleek. Minimal. Black. No flashy hardware, no wild patterns—just that unmistakable triangle logo. It was clean, confident, and completely different from anything else out there.
And just like that, nylon became cool. Actually—nylon became luxury.
Fast Forward to Now
What started as a fashion rebellion turned into a global obsession. Prada kept the nylon line evolving, adding shoulder bags, belt bags, totes—you name it. The vibe? Effortless. Practical. But always polished.
And in true Prada fashion, they didn’t stop there. In 2019, they introduced Re-Nylon—a sustainable version made from ocean plastics and recycled materials. Still iconic, but now with a planet-friendly twist.
Why It Matters to Us at JLCC
Here’s the thing: when we bring in a Prada nylon piece at JLCC, it’s never just a bag. It’s a little piece of fashion history. It’s that rare mix of casual and couture. And it’s perfect for clients who love style that speaks softly but says so much.
Our team carefully curates each one—from Tokyo to BGC—because we know our clients deserve pieces that are authentic, timeless, and versatile enough to wear anywhere.
Whether it’s your first luxury bag or your next “I’ve been looking for this forever” piece, Prada nylon is always a solid pick.
