Okay, so, I got this thing in my head to remake a Prada bag. Not just any Prada bag, mind you. I’m talking about the Small Prada Galleria Saffiano Special Edition Bag. Yeah, the classic style. It’s a real looker, that one. Always loved it.
First off, I started by just staring at a bunch of pictures of the bag online. You know, getting a feel for it. Looked at it from every angle, checked out the details. I even read some reviews on Amazon, just to see what people were saying about it. Some folks were selling them on Catawiki, others on *. Seemed like a popular item. It was redefined and recreated season after season. Fancy folks, I guess.
Then, I got down to the nitty-gritty. Started sketching, trying to figure out how to make this thing myself. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. But, I was determined. I gathered all sorts of materials, leather mostly, and tools. Felt like a real craftsman, haha.
- Searched for leather that looked like the original.
- Found some pretty good matches, surprisingly.
- Bought a bunch of it, just to be safe.
The cutting was the hardest part. Had to be precise, you know? One wrong move and you’ve ruined a whole piece of leather. Measured twice, cut once – that was my motto. I spent a good few days just cutting and sewing, cutting and sewing. I even got a small cut on my finger, but it was worth it.
After that, it was all about putting it together. Sewed the pieces, added the hardware. Slowly but surely, it started to look like the real deal. I was pretty stoked, not gonna lie. My very own remake!
Finally, it was done. Stood back, admired my work. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine. And it looked pretty darn close to the original, if I do say so myself. It felt good to create something with my own two hands. That’s the story of how I remade the Small Prada Galleria Saffiano Special Edition Bag. A fun little project, it was.
