Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this whole thing, trying to make a perfect copy of that Fendi Zucca Nappa Tortuga Small Spy Tobacco Moro bag. Let me tell you, it’s been a journey!
First off, I started by really looking at the original bag. You know, I got my hands on one of those authentic ones. I studied that thing inside and out. Checked out every stitch, every detail. It’s crafted from this soft, dark brown calfskin leather, and it’s all pleated and stuff. And it’s got this FF Zucca canvas in the middle. Oh, and let’s not forget about those secret compartments in the clasp – so cool!
Then, I started gathering materials. I needed that same kind of soft nappa leather, and I had to find a good match for that Zucca canvas. I went to all sorts of fabric stores, comparing textures and colors. It took a while, but I finally found some stuff that was pretty darn close.
Next up was the actual making of the bag. I started by cutting the leather and canvas according to the pattern I had sketched out based on the original bag. Then came the sewing. I don’t have one of those fancy industrial sewing machines, but my regular one did the trick. I carefully stitched the pieces together, trying to match the pleating and tailoring of the Fendi bag. That part was probably the trickiest – getting those pleats just right was a real pain.
- Finding the Right Materials: This was like a treasure hunt. I spent days looking for that perfect leather and canvas.
- Cutting and Sewing: My sewing machine got a real workout. Stitching everything together precisely was a challenge.
- Details, Details, Details: Those secret compartments and the weighted clasp… replicating those took some serious effort.
After a lot of trial and error, and a few do-overs, I finally ended up with something that looked pretty similar to the original Fendi Spy bag. It’s not perfect, but it’s darn close. I even managed to replicate those secret compartments, although getting the weight of the clasp just right was tough.
So, there you have it – my adventure in trying to create a perfect copy of the Fendi Zucca Nappa Tortuga Small Spy Tobacco Moro bag. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I learned a ton about bag making in the process. I get it that for some this CopyFendi White Zucca Mini Mon Tresor Bag is a favorite, but for me, the Spy Black, it’s one of those little things. Makes life a little better. A little more… stylish.
