Hey everyone, today I wanna talk about how I tried to remake that super chic Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG. I saw it online and thought, “I gotta have that!” But, you know, the price tag was a bit much. So, I decided to get crafty and make my own version. Let me tell you, it was quite the adventure!
First, I spent hours scouring the internet, looking at every picture I could find of the JUNE BOX BAG on the official YSL online store. I wanted to get every little detail right. The way the leather looked, the stitching, the hardware, everything. I even read some descriptions about payment options, gift wrapping, and different types of bags they offer, just to soak in that YSL vibe.
Then, I gathered my materials. I found some good quality leather that had a similar texture to the original. It wasn’t easy, but after hitting up a few different stores, I struck gold. I also ordered some gold-toned hardware online that matched the YSL style. I tried to find some special offers, like 15% off or something similar.
Getting Down to Business
Next up was the actual construction. This was the tricky part. I don’t have any fancy sewing machines, so I did everything by hand. It took forever, but I was determined. I carefully cut out the leather pieces, using the pictures as a guide. Then, I started stitching. And stitching. And stitching. My fingers were sore, but I kept going.
- Cutting the leather pieces, that was a whole day’s work!
- Stitching, oh boy, my fingers!
- Attaching the hardware, that was nerve-wracking, but it worked out.
I encountered a few hiccups along the way. At one point, I realized I had cut one of the pieces wrong and had to start over. Another time, I almost ran out of thread. But I persevered. I wasn’t going to let a few setbacks stop me. I also found some ads for other brands and deals, and thought about the price-to-quality ratio of my bag and the original one.
The Big Reveal
Finally, after days of work, it was done. My very own, handmade version of the YSL JUNE BOX BAG. And you know what? It looked pretty darn good! Sure, it wasn’t perfect. There were a few wonky stitches here and there. But overall, I was super proud of myself. I had taken an idea and turned it into a reality.
I started carrying it around, and I got so many compliments. People couldn’t believe I had made it myself. It felt amazing to be able to say, “Yeah, I made this!”
So, that’s my story of how I remade the YSL JUNE BOX BAG. It was a lot of work, but it was totally worth it. I learned a ton about sewing and crafting, and I ended up with a bag that I absolutely love. Plus, I saved a ton of money! If you’re thinking about trying something like this, I say go for it. It’s a great way to challenge yourself and create something truly unique.
It’s not exactly like what you might find on the YSL website, with all those fancy options like “Crossbody Bags,” “Totes,” or “Mini Bags,” but hey, it’s mine, and I love it.
Hope you enjoyed my little DIY adventure. Let me know what you think in the comments!
