Okay, so, I’ve been totally obsessed with this Fendi Nappa Spy bag, the black one, you know, the “original order” version. I mean, I’ve been eyeing it forever. Finally, I decided, “Screw it, let’s do this.” I pulled the trigger and ordered it from one of those specialty stores.
This Fendi Spy Bag original order was a bit more money than the other fakes, but I figured it was worth it for that sweet, sweet quality. You feel me? First thing I did was scour the internet for info on these bags. I found out that you gotta look for a little tag inside. That tag, it says “FENDI Made in Italy”. That’s how you know it’s a real good one.
Waiting Game
The wait was killer. I swear, I checked the tracking number like every five minutes. Then the order got canceled from the seller. OMG, I was so sad. Fortunately, my money was back. After that, I decided to search it in the local stores. And I found one similar store in the nearest shopping mall. I booked an appointment immediately. When I reached there, I checked every Fendi store nearby.
Store Day
- Went to the store.
- Showed them the picture of the bag I wanted.
- They brought out a few options, but they were not exactly the same one. It has Zucca pattern.
- The store clerk said the one I want was not produced anymore.
- But, he said there is another black spy bag that looks very similar to the one I want.
- I checked that bag carefully.
- And I found the tag inside that says “FENDI Made in Italy”
- Okay, this is the one.
Leather Cutting Time
With the pattern sorted, it was time to cut the leather. Now, this is where things got a little dicey. I’m no pro, but I watched a bunch of videos online. Carefully, I cut the Nappa leather. This part took forever, but you can’t rush perfection, right?
Sewing it Up
Next up, sewing. I dusted off my grandma’s old sewing machine – yeah, I’m a guy who sews, what of it? – and got to work. It wasn’t pretty, but I managed to stitch the pieces together. There were a few hiccups, and maybe a curse word or two, but eventually, it started to look like a bag.
The Final Touches
The last step was adding the hardware, you know, the buckles and the signature Spy closure. I got these online from a place that sells bag-making supplies. Attaching them was fiddly as hell, but I got it done. And boom! There it was, my very own “original order” Fendi Nappa Spy bag in black.
Is it perfect? Nah. Are there some wonky stitches? Probably. But did I have a blast making it? Hell yeah! And it cost me way less than the real deal. Plus, I got the satisfaction of knowing I made it myself. Would I recommend this to everyone? Maybe not. But if you’re looking for a fun project and you’re not afraid of a little challenge, go for it! Just be prepared for a wild ride.
