So, I got this thing for the Prada Re-Edition 2005 bag. I saw it on some website, and you know, it’s a classic, right? I figured, why not try to get a quote for remaking it? It’s a bit of a project, but I was curious.
First, I looked up what makes this bag so special. It’s from Prada, which, you know, is this big Italian brand. They started way back in 1913, making all sorts of fancy stuff, but their bags are really something. This Re-Edition 2005, it’s like a remake of an old design. They call it “Re-Edition” because it’s like bringing back an old style, and people seem to really love it, I saw some posts said that some celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid are carrying them around. I thought that was pretty cool.
I started looking around for places that could maybe make a bag like this. There’s this website, Vestiaire Collective, where you can buy and sell used designer stuff. I checked it out, but I wanted to see if I could get one made, you know, custom. I mean, who wouldn’t want a bag made just for them?
Then I found out more about the bag itself. It’s got this cool pouch that hooks onto the strap, which I thought was neat. It’s kind of got this rounded rectangle shape, and usually, it says “Prada Milano” on it, sometimes “Made in Italy” too. I guess that’s how you know it’s the real deal.
- Checked out the Prada website for details on the Re-Edition 2005.
- Looked at Vestiaire Collective for used options.
- Searched for custom bag makers online.
- Read reviews and compared prices.
I started sending out messages, asking for quotes. It was a bit of a long shot, but I was hopeful. I mean, getting a custom-made Prada bag, how cool would that be? It’s like having a little piece of that luxury, but made just for you.
After a few days, I got some replies. Some places said they couldn’t do it, others gave me some pretty high numbers. But there was this one place that seemed promising. They asked a lot of questions about what I wanted, the material, the color, all that. It felt like they really knew what they were doing. I sent them some pictures of the bag, pointed out the details like the pouch and the logo, and we went back and forth a bit.
Finally, they sent me a quote. It was a bit more than I expected, but hey, it’s a custom Prada, right? I thought about it for a while, talked it over with my partner, and decided to go for it. I mean, when else would I get a chance like this?
So, I placed the order. It’s going to take a few weeks, but I’m really excited. I’ll keep you all posted on how it turns out.
This whole thing, it’s been quite the adventure. I never thought I’d be getting a custom-made bag, let alone a Prada. It just goes to show, sometimes you gotta take a chance, you know?
Stay tuned to see how my custom Prada Re-Edition 2005 turns out!
