Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this idea to remake the YSL June Box Bag. It’s not a totally new thing, but I wanted to give it a go. It all started when I was looking at some old stuff and thought, “Why not try to make something new out of something old?”
First off, I had to figure out what this bag was all about. I mean, it’s a YSL, so it’s got to be fancy, right? But it’s a remake, so it’s like taking an old tune and making a new song. I did a bit of digging. This bag is not like any ordinary bag. It’s got that shiny, fancy look, and they say it has a special logo – that “Cassandre” thing.
Then, I started thinking about how I could get my hands on the materials. I remembered what I read online about where the date code and serial number are located. All those little details, like how the serial number is printed on a small leather tab stitched into the lining. It’s like a secret code. I had to look around for similar stuff, you know, the right kind of leather and the little metal bits for the logo. I even took apart an old bag to see how it was made.
- Gathering Materials:
- Sourced leather similar to the original bag.
- Found metal pieces to mimic the YSL Cassandre logo.
- Studying the Design:
- Took apart an old bag to understand its construction.
- Noted the location of the date code and serial number inside the original bag.
After that, it was time to start cutting and stitching. I’m no expert, but I’ve done a bit of sewing in my time. I followed the patterns I sketched out, trying to get that “diamond-quilted” look just right. It was tough, I won’t lie. But there was something satisfying about putting the pieces together, seeing it start to look like a real bag. I even tried to put a date code near the stitch line and a serial number on a small leather tab like the real bags. It’s not perfect, but I think I got the vibe of it.
Putting it all together took some time. I messed up a few times, had to redo some parts. I didn’t change the name like Hedi Slimane did when he became the creative director – it’s still a YSL in my book. But I get why he did it, making it new and edgy. My version isn’t about changing the name; it’s about the process of making something with my own hands.
- Assembly Process:
- Cut and stitched the leather pieces together.
- Tried to replicate the diamond-quilted pattern.
- Added a date code and a serial number to mimic the original.
The Final Touch
In the end, I had something that looked like the YSL June Box Bag. It wasn’t exactly the same, but it was my version of it. I even thought about where someone could get one of these if they wanted to. It’s not just about having a fancy bag; it’s about appreciating the work that goes into making one. And who knows, maybe this will inspire someone else to try and make their own version of something they like. It’s all about having fun and being creative, right?
So, there you have it. My little project of remaking the YSL June Box Bag. It was a fun ride, and I learned a lot along the way. And hey, if you ever want to try something like this, just remember: it’s not about being perfect, it’s about enjoying the process and making something that’s uniquely yours.
