Remake PRADA Logo Tote Bag? Check the Official Flagship Store First!

Okay, so I saw this Prada tote bag at the official flagship store the other day, and I thought, “I can totally remake this!” It was a pretty simple design, a classic tote, but with that iconic Prada logo. I’ve been itching to do some DIY projects lately, so this seemed like the perfect challenge. I grabbed my notebook and started sketching right there in the store.

First thing, I needed to find the right material. I wanted something durable, but it also needed to have that certain kind of luxurious feel like the original. Off I went to my favorite fabric store, and after rummaging through rolls of leather and some sturdy textiles, I finally found the perfect material.

Then came the cutting and sewing. This is where I spent most of the time. Getting the dimensions just right was a bit of a pain, I had to measure, cut, and redo a couple of times. I used a sewing machine, and I got it done, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as easy as it looked in those online tutorials.

    Steps I took

  • Finding the right material: I went to the store to find the perfect material.
  • Cutting and sewing: This took a while, getting the size right and stitching everything together.
  • Making the logo: The trickiest part. I tried to replicate the Prada logo as closely as possible.

The trickiest part was definitely the logo. The real Prada bags, they have this ceramic logo plaque on the leather ones. Some of the non-leather bags will just use leather instead of ceramic. I did not have any ceramics on hand, so I tried to make it look as authentic as I could, with just leather. I used some of my leather scraps and got to work. I tried a few different techniques, but I ended up doing it on leather.

The final step was putting it all together. I carefully attached the handles and the logo, making sure everything was secure and looked good. Honestly, it took a few tries to get the logo placed just right, but I think I nailed it in the end. I learned that Prada started in Milan way back in 1913, selling leather goods. It is amazing how the brand has grown since then!

I have to say, I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. It’s not exactly like the one in the store, but it’s got its own unique charm. Plus, I made it myself, which makes it even more special. I have no idea how much the real Prada bag would be worth, but I do know that taking care of bags is important, and that you need to store them properly. I wonder how they keep the bags at the Prada store? Maybe I will go back to check it out. Anyway, I’m already thinking about my next project. Maybe a matching wallet?
