THE NYLON BAG

“I’ve always liked this trend, which Miuccia Prada popularised in the ’90s, because the material is lightweight, fuss-free yet hardy. It’s also always been around (cue backpacks by streetwear brands or Chanel’s Coco Cocoon line), though it’s often perceived as cheap and thus undesirable. But that’s changing now, especially with more luxury labels going the ironic chic or streetwear route. And options are no longer limited to utilitarian totes or messengers, but also chic, feminine shoulder handbags, so expect more women to catch on.”
