Alright, let’s talk about this Fendi bag I messed around with. The full name is a mouthful: “Fendi Mon Tresor Mini Leather & Mesh Bucket Bag.” Sounds fancy, right? But it’s basically a small bucket bag. I got into it because I wanted to see how well I could copy it.
So, first thing I did was look at a bunch of pictures of this bag online. I mean, tons of them. I wanted to get every little detail right. This bag has this cool mix of leather and, like, a see-through mesh material.
- I started by sketching it out.
- Then I tried to find similar materials. I went to fabric stores, craft stores, even looked online.
- I cut the leather, the mesh, and the lining material, using a basic bucket bag pattern I found.
- I started to sew it together. This was a pain, let me tell you. That mesh was tricky!
After I finally put together the main body of the bag, I worked on the details.
- I made the drawstring closure, just like the real Fendi bag.
- I added the metal rings and the little Fendi logo tag thing. I tried to copy those as close as possible.
The handle was pretty simple to make, just a leather strap. The real challenge was getting that mesh to look right. It’s supposed to be, like, structured but also a bit see-through. I played around with different types of stiff mesh until I got something I thought was decent.
Honestly, it took way longer than I thought it would. It was days of cutting, sewing, and re-sewing stuff. But in the end, I had something that looked, at least from a distance, like the real Fendi Mon Tresor Mini bag. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.
My Final Thoughts
It’s not something I’d carry around, but it was a fun experiment to see if I could do it. I learned a lot about working with different materials and how much work goes into making these fancy designer bags. It’s not as easy as it looks!
