Alright, so, I’ve been eyeing those Fendi Mon Tresor bucket bags for a while now. You know, the ones those fancy city folks carry around? They’re kinda cute, like a little flower pot, but way more expensive. I figured, why not try to make my own? So, that’s what I did.
First, I spent a good chunk of time just staring at pictures online. Trying to figure out what makes this bag, well, this bag. It’s called “Mon Tresor,” which is kinda fancy. And it’s a bucket bag, which is pretty self-explanatory.
Then came the tricky part – the materials. I needed some good leather. Not that thin, cheap stuff you find everywhere. This stuff had to be thick, you know, like the real deal. I searched around, went to some local shops, and finally found some leather scraps that seemed like they’d do the trick.
Next, I had to cut the leather. Now, I’m no expert, but I managed to get the basic shapes. It’s like a circle for the bottom, and then a big rectangle for the sides. And don’t forget the little strap thingies. They have these metal details, which are pretty important, I guess. I found some old metal rings and tried to attach them. A bit tricky, but I got there in the end.
Sewing it all together was a whole other adventure. I don’t have one of those fancy sewing machines, so it was all hand-stitched. Took forever, and my fingers were sore, but I powered through. There’s a drawstring thing at the top, which I managed to figure out. It’s not perfect, but it closes, and that’s what matters.
- First Step: Find good leather.
- Second Step: Cut the leather into shapes.
- Third Step: Sew it all together.
Honestly, the whole thing was a bit of a mess, but also kind of fun. It’s not exactly like the real Fendi Mon Tresor, but it’s got the same vibe. It’s a bit wonky, a bit rough around the edges, but it’s mine. I carried it around the other day, and it felt pretty good. Like I made something real, you know?
It doesn’t look exactly like the original one, the leather one with mesh that is called the Fendi Mon Tresor Mini Leather & Mesh Bucket Bag. I guess I can try and find some mesh to add to it. But overall, I made a bucket bag. That’s something, right?
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure in making a “CopyFendi” bag. It was a good time, and hey, now I have a new bag. And a new story to tell.
