Alright, so I got this idea to remake a PRADA Medium Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag, you know, the one they say is a “classic.” I saw it online, thought it looked fancy, and figured, why not give it a shot?
First, I started by looking up this bag everywhere. I mean, everywhere. I scoured online stores, compared prices, and read a ton of reviews. It’s called the “Remake PRADA Medium Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag,” and apparently, it’s a big deal. There’s even this thing called a “Remake PRADA Medium Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag Quote” which is basically the price tag.
I found some info saying it’s made from something called “Re-Nylon” and is an “archive silhouette.” Whatever that means. Sounded complicated, but I was determined.
I started gathering materials, which was a pain. I needed this special leather, some tools, and a whole lot of patience. I pretty much turned my garage into a workshop. My wife was thrilled, let me tell you.
- Got some leather that looked kinda like the stuff in the pictures.
- Borrowed some tools from my neighbor, old man Jenkins. He’s got everything.
- Watched a bunch of videos online. Some were helpful, some were just confusing.
Then came the actual making part. Let me tell you, it was rough. I messed up a few times, had to redo some parts, and even pricked my finger with the needle more times than I can count. There were moments I wanted to throw the whole thing in the trash. There are a few wonky stitches here and there, and the lining isn’t as smooth as it should be. I might’ve also used the wrong kind of thread in a couple of spots, but hey, it adds character, right?
But, I kept going. I followed the patterns I found, tried my best to copy the design, and slowly but surely, it started to look like a bag. A real bag! It took me weeks, working on it whenever I had some free time. I even skipped a few fishing trips, which is saying something.
Finally, after all that work, I finished it! It wasn’t easy. I swore a lot, I sweated a lot, and I might have even shed a tear or two. But I did it.
The Result
I ended up with my very own Remake PRADA Medium Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine. And you know what? I’m pretty darn proud of it.
