Okay, so, I saw this bag, the Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG, and I thought, “I gotta make one of those.” It’s like, super stylish, you know? So, I jumped right into it.
First thing, I looked up a bunch of pictures online. I needed to see this bag from every angle. I studied those pictures like it was my job. I zoomed in, took screenshots, the whole nine yards. I wanted to know this bag inside and out before I even started.
Then, I grabbed some leather I had lying around. It wasn’t the exact same kind they use for the real bag, but hey, it was close enough. I cut out the shapes I needed, using some cardboard templates I drew up. It wasn’t easy, and honestly, I messed up a few times. But, you live and you learn, right?
Next up, sewing. Now, I’m no expert with a needle and thread, but I can get by. I stitched those leather pieces together, following the design of the real YSL bag as closely as I could. It took some time, and my fingers were pretty sore afterward, but it was all worth it.
- Find reference: Looked up pics of the bag online.
- Gather materials: Used some leather scraps.
- Create templates: Made cardboard cutouts.
- Cut leather: Cut the leather using the templates.
- Sew: Stitched the leather pieces together.
I even managed to find some metal pieces that looked like the hardware on the real bag. I attached those, and boom, it started to look like a real designer bag. I was pretty proud of myself, not gonna lie. It’s not an exact replica, but it’s got the same vibe. Plus, I made it myself, which makes it even cooler, I think.
Details of My Process
I spent a good few days on this project. It wasn’t something I could just whip up in an afternoon. But seeing the finished product made all the effort worth it. It’s a unique piece, and I learned a lot from making it. You know, about working with leather, about design, about patience. It was a good experience overall.
So yeah, that’s the story of how I remade the Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG. It wasn’t a walk in the park, but I did it, and I’m happy with how it turned out. Hope you all found this little journey of mine interesting. Maybe it’ll inspire you to try and make something cool yourself!
