Members ThoughtFission Posted August 3, 2020 Members Report Posted August 3, 2020 Hi, I would like to get my hands on some very cheap designer bags. They can be in awful condition. I want to pull them apart to see how they were made, the techniques and methods that take them to the next level. The kind of brands I'm thinking of are Hermes, Prada, Gucci etc. Thanks. G Quote

G Expand you might get disappointed in terms of next level quality I guess ebay/gumtree/fb are your best bets to find some destroyed ones, but the next best thing is search on youtube bag repair channels. Some of these guys show a lot of detail and talk about it as they pull bags apart to repair them. Quote

Just thought some hands on tear downs might be useful. Quote
