Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get this Remake PRADA Small Prada Galleria Saffiano Special Edition Bag for a while now. I finally decided to go for it. First, I did some digging around because, you know, this bag is kind of a big deal. They call it a “classic,” and it’s been around since 2007. Fancy, right?
So, I started looking at pictures and reading about it. I found out that this Galleria bag is like, a symbol of Prada or something. They keep making it, season after season. It’s supposed to be a “neo-classic,” whatever that means. I guess it’s like a future antique. They named it after the place where Prada’s first store was.
I got it into my head that I wanted to remake it. Not just any Galleria, though – I went for the special edition. I mean, if you’re gonna do it, do it right, yeah? I started by sketching out what I wanted it to look like. Then I started messing around with some leather, trying to get the feel for it. It’s called “Saffiano” leather, which is apparently some kind of special stuff that Prada uses.
- First Attempts:
- Tried cutting the leather. Messed up a few times, but hey, that’s part of the process.
- Sewed some pieces together. Definitely not as easy as it looks in those videos online.
- Tried to attach the hardware. That was a whole other can of worms.
After a bunch of trial and error, I finally started to get the hang of it. I carefully measured and cut the leather, making sure each piece was just right. Then, I started sewing. Slowly, stitch by stitch, the bag started to take shape. I followed the original design as closely as I could, but I also added a few of my own touches here and there. This bag is the perfect work bag, it’s spacious enough to hold a small laptop and carry a document holder. I managed to find a use for it!
Putting on the hardware was tricky, to say the least. But I managed to get it all on there, nice and secure. Finally, after what felt like forever, I had my own Remake of the Small Prada Galleria Saffiano Special Edition Bag. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty darn proud of it. It’s got that same classic look as the original, but it’s also got a bit of me in it. It’s like, my own little piece of fashion history or something.
The End Result
It looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. It’s not exactly like the original, but that’s kind of the point. It’s my version. And you know what? I think I like it even better.
