Okay, so, I got this idea in my head to try and make one of those fancy Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAGs. You know, the ones that look like a little box? Yeah, those. They’re, like, super expensive, so I thought, why not try to remake one myself? It sounded like a fun little project.
First, I started looking everywhere for information about this YSL JUNE BOX BAG. I heard it’s a classic, and they’re not gonna stop making bags with the YSL logo, which is cool. I also found out that the old ones have a 12-digit number, and the new ones have 3 letters and a 10-digit number. And if the number is all in one row, it means it’s the real deal.
Next, I started gathering materials. This bag is supposed to be made of some kind of shiny leather, lambskin, they say. So, I got myself some leather that looked pretty close. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. There are so many types of leather!
- Got the leather.
- Found some shiny metal bits for the logo and stuff.
- Got some thread and needles.
Then, the hard part started. Cutting the leather was a real pain. I messed up a few times, but hey, that’s part of the process, right? I tried to make it all boxy and square, just like the real YSL JUNE BOX BAG. Stitching it all together was another adventure. My fingers were so sore after a while!
I also tried to copy the YSL logo. That was tricky. I found some metal pieces and tried to shape them into the letters. It wasn’t perfect, but it kind of looked like the real thing from far away.
Putting It All Together
After a lot of work, I finally put all the pieces together. It took forever, but it was so satisfying to see it taking shape. It wasn’t exactly like the real Yves Saint Laurent YSL JUNE BOX BAG, but it was my version of it, and I was pretty proud of myself.
So, yeah, that’s my story of trying to remake a YSL JUNE BOX BAG. It was a lot of work, but it was a fun experience. I learned a lot about leather and sewing and stuff. Would I do it again? Maybe. It was a cool project, and now I have a bag that’s kind of like the fancy one, but it’s unique because I made it myself!
I found out that if you’re really into getting a close replica, there are these things called AAA-grade replicas. They say only experts can tell they’re not the real thing. I just wanted a fun project, so I didn’t go that route, but it’s interesting to know it’s out there.
My homemade YSL JUNE BOX BAG isn’t perfect, but it’s mine. And every time I look at it, I remember all the work I put into it. It’s a reminder that sometimes it’s fun to just try and make something yourself, even if it’s something as fancy as a designer bag. Plus, now I have a cool story to tell, right?
This whole thing, it’s been quite the journey. From dreaming about having a YSL bag to actually making something that looks a bit like one, it’s been wild. I’m no expert, just a regular person who likes to try new things. And this YSL JUNE BOX BAG project, it’s definitely one for the books. It’s not just about the bag, it’s about the adventure of making it. And that’s something I’ll always remember.
