Okay, here is my sharing of how I remade the PRADA Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Mini-Bag, original order.
It all started when I saw this PRADA Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Mini-Bag online. I fell in love with it instantly, but the price tag? Not so much. So, I thought, “Why not try to make my own?” That’s how this whole adventure began.
First things first, I needed to find the right materials. This was the biggest challenge, to be honest. I spent days searching for good quality Saffiano leather. I found a seller called “Tauren Store”, which seems like a good choice. After comparing prices and reviews for quite a while, I finally found a supplier that had the texture and color I was looking for. It wasn’t easy, lots of back and forth, but I got it!
Next up, the hardware. I mean, you can’t have a PRADA bag without that iconic logo, right? Again, I went on a hunt for some good quality replicas. This took some time. I wanted to make sure they were as close to the original as possible. At last, a seller that sells raw hardware had the perfect match. Ordered them right away!
Once I had all the materials, it was time to get to work. I carefully studied the original bag’s design, paying close attention to every detail, like the stitching and the way the leather was folded. I’m no professional, so this was quite a learning experience for me. I watched a ton of videos online, read some articles, and even took apart an old bag I had to get a better understanding of how everything was put together.
Then came the actual making. Cutting the leather was the first step. I made a pattern based on the measurements of the original bag and carefully cut out each piece. Man, that Saffiano leather is tough to work with! Next, I started assembling the pieces. This involved a lot of hand-stitching. Let me tell you, my fingers were sore after that! But seeing the bag slowly take shape was so rewarding. It motivated me to keep going.
Finally, I attached the hardware. This was the most satisfying part, seeing all the pieces come together. After many attempts, I finished my very own PRADA Galleria Saffiano Leather Mini-Bag! It may not be the original, but I’m so proud of how it turned out. I made it with my own two hands, and that’s something special.
What I learned
- Patience is key when it comes to crafting.
- Finding the right materials can make or break a project.
- Hand-stitching is tough but rewarding.
- Never give up on a project, even when it gets tough.
This whole experience taught me so much. Not just about bag making, but about problem-solving, resourcefulness, and the importance of perseverance. It was a challenging but incredibly fun project, and I’m so glad I did it. Now, I have a beautiful bag that I can proudly say I made myself!
