Okay, so, I had this idea to remake the PRADA Cahier Bag. Yeah, I saw it online and I was like, “I bet I could do that!” So I started this whole thing, you know, a little project of mine.
First off, I started by looking everywhere for info on this bag. I mean, I checked out the official PRADA place online, just to see what the real deal was. And, oh boy, it looked fancy. It’s called the Cahier, and it’s supposed to keep your stuff safe, like a little treasure chest or something. They had a shoulder bag and a belt bag version. Pretty cool, huh?
Then, I started looking at other folks who tried to remake PRADA bags. I found some stuff about people remaking the Cleo and a logo tote. There was even a place talking about getting a quote for a remake. That gave me some ideas. I figured if they could do it, why not me, right?
Finding the Materials
Next up, I had to find the right materials. That was a bit of a challenge. I went to all sorts of stores, looking for leather that looked right, and the hardware, you know, the metal bits. That famous triangle logo, you see it and you just know it’s PRADA. It’s like their signature. I needed to get that right.
- Searched for good-quality leather that looked like the real thing.
- Looked for metal pieces that matched the original bag’s hardware.
- Spent hours trying to figure out how to replicate that triangle logo.
I spent hours, days even, just trying to get the materials right. Sometimes I’d find something that looked okay, but then it wouldn’t feel right. Or it would feel good, but the color would be off. It was a lot of trial and error, let me tell you.
Putting It Together
Once I had all the pieces, I started putting it all together. That was the fun part, but also super tricky. I had to cut the leather just right, sew it all up, and attach the hardware. There were times I messed up and had to start over on a piece. Frustrating, but hey, that’s part of the process.
I kept going back to those pictures of the real PRADA Cahier, trying to make sure mine looked as close as possible. I wanted it to be good, you know? Not just some cheap knock-off.
The Final Touches
Finally, after all that work, I finished it. It wasn’t perfect, of course, but I was pretty proud of it. It looked like a Cahier bag, had that triangle logo, and felt pretty sturdy. I even carried it around for a few days to see how it held up.
So, yeah, that’s the story of how I tried to remake the PRADA Cahier bag. It was a fun little adventure, and I learned a lot. Maybe I’ll try another one someday, who knows? But for now, I’m happy with my little Cahier-ish bag.
