Hey everyone, it’s your girl back again! Today, I’m diving into something a little different, a little fancy, if you will – I’m talking about remaking the Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG. Now, I’ve seen my fair share of bags, but this one? It’s got that “it” factor, you know? That shiny YSL logo, the soft lambskin, all quilted up… it just screams luxury.
So, I saw this bag, and I thought, “I gotta have it.” But then I saw the price tag, and well, let’s just say it wasn’t in my budget. That’s when a lightbulb went off – why not try to remake it myself? I’m no stranger to a good DIY project, and this seemed like the perfect challenge.
First things first, I started with gathering the materials. I hunted high and low for that perfect lambskin feel. I mean, if you’re gonna do it, you gotta do it right. I went to a bunch of fabric stores in town.
- I found some nice-looking leather, but it just didn’t have that soft, buttery feel of the original.
- I even checked out some consignment shops, thinking maybe I could find a similar bag and repurpose the leather. No luck there either.
Then, I started looking at the details. That YSL logo? It’s not just slapped on there, it’s like, part of the bag. And the quilting? It’s precise, it’s perfect. I knew I had to get those details right if I wanted to do this bag justice.
I got to work, cutting the leather, trying my best to match the pattern of the original. I messed up a few times, ngl, but hey, that’s part of the process. And let me tell you, sewing that quilted pattern? It was a labor of love. Took me forever, but I was determined to get it right.
After many hours, a few mishaps, and a whole lot of patience, I finally had something that resembled the YSL JUNE BOX BAG. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine. And you know what? I was proud of it. It had that same boxy shape, that same quilted look, and even though the logo wasn’t the real deal, it still had that luxurious vibe.
The Final Result
Carrying that bag around, I felt like a million bucks. Sure, it wasn’t the real YSL JUNE BOX BAG, but it was close enough. And the best part? I made it myself. It was a conversation starter, a statement piece, and a reminder that sometimes, you can have your cake and eat it too – or in this case, have your bag and make it too!
