Remake PRADA Re-Edition 2000: Find it at the Official Flagship!

Okay, so, I saw this Prada Re-Edition 2000 Bag at their official flagship store, and I thought, “Hmm, I bet I could make that.” It’s a pretty simple design, you know? Like, it’s not one of those super complicated things with a million little parts. And honestly, who wants to drop that much money on a bag when you can get creative and do it yourself?

First, I started by looking at a bunch of pictures of the bag online. Like, I really studied those pictures. Zoomed in, looked at all the angles, trying to figure out the size and the shape and what kind of materials they used. I got to say the official pictures, it was not easy to see details. They are kinda vague. But I still tried my best. Also, I checked some videos that some fashion bloggers made. That really helped a lot.

Then I went to the fabric store. I spent like, two hours there, just feeling all the different materials. I was looking for something that felt like nylon but wasn’t too shiny or too stiff. And the zipper, oh boy, finding the right zipper was a whole other adventure. I needed one that was sturdy but also had that kind of chunky look, you know, the big teeth, not those tiny little ones. Finally, I got something that is pretty close to the authentic one. But I’m not sure, they just look very similar.

After I got all my materials, I started by making a pattern. I just grabbed some old wrapping paper and sketched out the basic shape of the bag. I used a ruler to make sure everything was all straight and even. My cat kept trying to “help,” which mostly involved sitting on the paper and batting at my pencil. It was pretty cute, but not very productive. I think I spent too much time playing with her.

Once I had my pattern, I carefully cut out the fabric. This part was a little nerve-wracking because I didn’t want to mess it up. I pinned the pieces together and sewed them up on my old sewing machine. It’s one of those vintage ones, you know, not one of those fancy computer ones. It took some time, but slowly but surely, the bag started to take shape.

  • Cut out the fabric pieces according to the pattern.
  • Pin the main body pieces together and sew them, leaving the top open.
  • Attach the zipper to the top opening.
  • Sew the side seams of the bag.
  • Create the strap by sewing a long, narrow piece of fabric.
  • Attach the strap to the sides of the bag.

The hardest part was probably the zipper. Getting it to lay flat and not bunch up was tricky. I had to rip it out and redo it a couple of times. But eventually, I got it! And let me tell you, it was such a good feeling to see that bag finally finished. I mean, I made a thing, and I really like how it turned out.

I even added a little pocket on the inside, just like the real one. It’s perfect for holding my phone and keys. I’m pretty proud of myself, not gonna lie. It’s not exactly like the Prada one, but it’s pretty darn close. And it’s mine, you know? I made it with my own two hands. I’m thinking to make more of these. Maybe using different colors. That sounds fun.
