Hey there, folks! So, the other day I stumbled upon this thingamajig online, they call it a “Remake Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG Quote”. Sounds fancy, right? Well, I got curious and decided to give it a whirl myself. I mean, why not, right? Let’s get our hands a bit dirty.
Research and Planning
First off, I spent a good chunk of time researching this “June Box Bag”. Turns out, it’s not your everyday purse. This little fella has a slick, boxy design and a shiny “Cassandre” closure, whatever that means. I just know it looks neat. And there’s this YSL logo thingy on the front. Looks important. This Saint Laurent Quilted Bag is made of quilted lambskin, which they say is like a “fancy sheep bag”. I dug around and found that these YSL bags are pretty popular, especially this June Box Bag. It’s small, shaped like a box, and apparently, it’s a “good investment”.
Gathering Supplies
Alright, so after figuring out what I was dealing with, I gathered my supplies. Now, I ain’t no professional, but I got some leather that felt kinda like that “lambskin” they talked about. I also got some tools – needles, thread, and a few other bits and bobs. I’ve prepared a cutting board and some sharp scissors – those are very useful, by the way.
The Making Process
I started by cutting out the pieces. I found a few pictures of the June Box Bag online and just eyeballed it. I tried to follow the shape as best as I could, you know. Then came the tricky part – the diamond quilting. This was a pain, let me tell you. I had to stitch these tiny squares onto the main pieces. Took forever, but it started to look like something. I stitched and stitched, and after a while, the pieces started resembling the pictures I saw. I added that YSL-like buckle thingy I made from some scrap metal. Not perfect, but it does the job, I guess.
Assembly
Once all the pieces were ready, I started assembling them. This was like putting together a puzzle. I connected the sides, the top, and the bottom, trying to make it look as boxy as possible. Oh, and I added a strap, ’cause you gotta carry it somehow, right? It was a bit wonky, but hey, it’s handmade! I can put it over my shoulder, I guess. Not sure why you’d want to. But it works for me.
Finishing Touches
After everything was stitched together, I added some finishing touches. I trimmed some loose threads, polished the metal buckle, and just cleaned it up a bit. It’s not exactly like the real deal, but it’s got its own charm, I reckon. It feels good, though. Softer than I expected.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it – my adventure in remaking the Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG. It was a fun little project. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. And hey, I learned a thing or two about bags and quilting along the way. Maybe I’ll try another one sometime. Who knows? Anyway, hope you enjoyed my little story.
Stay tuned for more of my DIY adventures! Hope I can do better next time. But I am still quite satisfied with the result.
