DIY Gucci Purse Knockoff Fashion
; "Pinterest"){kind=small}
I was recently drooling over Gucci purses, reminding myself that my budget can't justify purchasing one, no matter how much I might like it. I love the bold florals used in iconic Gucci design.
So I decided to DIY my own Gucci inspired knockoff bag. I knew I could never create an exact replica, but I used this floral bag as my inspiration. I started with a large tote bag that would make a great base for the design, and had plenty of room for me to haul around a lot of stuff.
To decorate the bag, I started with some fabulous floral patches I found on Etsy from RunwayDIY.
I taped off a bit of the area at the top to mimic the lines on the original purse. I painted them with a multi-surface paint in the color Night Sky and then used a paint marker to outline it all in white.
I found a gold bracelet with very large links at the local flea market, that would mimic the gold detail on the original bag. I took it apart and adhered it with some E6000 glue.
I love how the bag turned out, especially since it was only a fraction of the cost of the original!
I don't think anyone will be fooled thinking it is a real Gucci bag, but it definitely has that same fun, bold look.
