Alright, folks, let’s talk about this little project of mine – remaking the Yves Saint Laurent YSL COLLEGE BAG. Yeah, that’s a mouthful, right? But trust me, this bag, it’s something else. It’s got that classic vibe, you know? The kind that never goes out of style.
First things first, I got my hands on some genuine lambskin leather. I mean, if you’re gonna do it, do it right. This stuff is soft, like butter, but it’s tough too. Perfect for a bag that’s gonna get some use. And, believe me, a good-quality material is a must for this project. Without it, you can not start.
Then, I studied the original bag. I took a good look at the quilting pattern. This YSL bag, it’s got this unique stitched look, and getting that right was crucial. I spent hours just examining the details, the stitching, the way the leather folds, everything.
- Figuring out the measurements was the next step.
- I needed to make sure my remake was the same size, had the same proportions.
- It’s all about the details, you see.
Cutting the leather, that was a bit nerve-wracking. One wrong cut, and you’ve messed up the whole thing. But I took my time, measured twice, cut once, as they say. And slowly, piece by piece, the bag started to take shape. I choose the lambskin because they are incredibly durable, just like the original ones do.
The quilting, oh boy, that was a labor of love. I did each stitch by hand, just like the original. It took forever, but seeing that classic pattern emerge, it was worth it. And I followed the original design, each stitch was located in the right place.
Putting it all together, that was the fun part. Seeing all those separate pieces come together to form a bag, it’s like magic. I added the handle, the hardware, all those little details that make it a YSL.
The Result
And there you have it, my very own YSL COLLEGE BAG. It’s not just a bag, it’s a statement. It’s got that timeless elegance, that high-quality feel. And the best part? I made it. I poured my heart and soul into this project, and I think it shows. This bag may not be for everyone, especially not for those who need to carry potatoes. But for those who appreciate classic style and quality, this is a real gem.
If you’re thinking about taking on a project like this, my advice is to go for it. It’s not easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding. Just remember to use good materials, pay attention to the details, and most importantly, enjoy the process. And remember, it is not easy to do this, especially the first time. But after countless practices, you will do better and better just like me.
