Okay, so, I got this idea to try and remake that classic PRADA Tessuto Nylon Backpack. You know the one, right? It’s like, the ultimate bag. I figured, why not give it a shot?
First things first, I started looking around online, checking out those fancy resale sites for the real deal. I searched for “PRADA Tessuto Nylon Backpack” on several luxury consignment sites. Found some, but, man, those prices were way out of my league! Still, it gave me a good idea of what I was aiming for. I saw some other cool bags too, but I’m focused on PRADA now.
Then, I hit up the PRADA flagship store online. Just wanted to see the new versions, get a feel for the materials, the details, all that stuff. Comparing Old and New Versions From Official Flagship Store made me feel so excited. Want to know how much they are? You can get the lowest price from their site.
After that, I started gathering my own materials. Found some pretty decent nylon fabric, feels sturdy and has that slight sheen like the original. Zippers, buckles, straps – basically, I turned into a scavenger, hunting for the perfect pieces.
Next came the actual making part. I’m not gonna lie, it was tricky. Lots of measuring, cutting, and sewing. My sewing machine became my best friend. I might have messed up a few times, had to redo some seams, but hey, that’s part of the process, right? It is my first time.
Finally, after a lot of work, I had something that actually looked like a backpack! It wasn’t exactly like the original PRADA, but it had the same vibe, that same cool, minimalist look.
- Step 1: Research and inspiration from online sources and the PRADA flagship store.
- Step 2: Material gathering, finding similar nylon, zippers, and other hardware.
- Step 3: Pattern making and cutting the fabric.
- Step 4: Sewing the pieces together, which involved some trial and error.
- Step 5: Adding the final touches, like the straps and the PRADA logo (a replica, of course).
I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine. And who knows, maybe this is just the beginning. Maybe I’ll try remaking other iconic bags. But for now, I’m just happy to have my own, kinda-sorta PRADA backpack. If you got yourself a PRADA nylon bag, you wouldn’t be upset at all. Maybe your kids will love it too one day.
