So, the other day I got this crazy idea to try and remake the PRADA Re-Edition 1995 Chane Re-Nylon Mini-Bag. Yeah, I know, it sounds nuts, but I was bored and wanted a challenge. I started by looking up everything I could find about this bag online.
First, I gathered all the details about the bag. I found that it’s made of recycled nylon, which is pretty cool. It’s got this quilted pattern all over, and there’s an enamel triangle logo, which is like the signature of PRADA. I also noticed it has a keyring attachment and some leather and chain-link detailing. Very fancy, huh?
I dug deeper and discovered that the bag has a detachable shoulder strap and a top zip fastening. Inside, it’s got a logo patch. I even found the product code: 1BC204_2AOS_F0002_V_QOO. There’s also a lightly padded and top-stitched design, and a leather-threaded chain handle. Plus, a removable leather key ring and metal hardware. The enamel metal triangle logo is on the front, and it has a zipper closure. Inside, there’s a logo-print Re-Nylon lining.
I measured out the dimensions: height 18cm, width 22cm, and length 6cm. Oh, and it comes with a dust bag, which is a nice touch.
I read somewhere that the bag is basically a square silhouette with double chain shoulder straps, and it has a logo badge at the front. There is also a leather charm attachment, and gold-tone hardware. It’s an all-over quilted design with one main compartment. I got the dimensions for this version too, 25cm height.
Then, I started to sketch out my plan. I decided to use some old nylon fabric I had lying around. I cut and sewed the pieces together, trying to follow the quilted pattern I saw in the pictures. It was tough, I won’t lie. Sewing is not exactly my forte, but I pushed through.
The hardest part was probably attaching the chain and the leather details. I spent hours trying to get it right. I even tried to make a little triangle logo out of some scrap metal and enamel paint. It didn’t turn out perfect, but hey, it’s the effort that counts, right?
After a lot of trial and error, I finally finished my version of the bag. It’s not exactly like the original, but I’m pretty proud of it. It was a fun project, and I learned a lot about bag making in the process.
- Started by gathering information online.
- Found details about the materials and design.
- Measured and sketched out a plan.
- Cut and sewed the nylon fabric.
- Attached the chain, leather details, and a makeshift logo.
- Finished the bag after many attempts.
It is not a perfect replica, but it is definitely unique in its own way. I am excited to share this little adventure with you all. Hope you enjoyed my little story!
