Internet users are full of imagination when it comes to appropriating the codes of luxury at low prices. Their latest discovery: a tutorial for transforming a cardboard bag into a luxury shopping bag.
If you are a fan of shopping in luxury stores, a future it bag may be hiding in your closet… Provided you have kept the packaging in which your purchase was slipped! According to the Instagram video of a user, @halo.hook, this packaging should never be thrown in the trash. By customizing it with a few chosen accessories, it turns into a trendy shopping bag. Yes, we are talking about the cardboard bag with the cords used to transport luxury purchases! To do this, you must have a fairly rigid transparent protection with leather effect handles. A customizable kit has less than 60 euros, which contains everything you need (including screws, washers, buckle hooks and a screwdriver), is also sold on the site The Totery.
How to make it?
Transforming a paper bag into a luxury it bag is not difficult! The first thing to do is to choose your packaging before starting this DIY workshop. If the tutorial uses a Louis Vuitton brand pocket, the cardboard shopping bags Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana or Givenchy will achieve the same result. We start by slipping the bag into the transparent protection of the same size. Then, you have to fold the edges inside and place a rigid bottom so that the accessory holds in place. Using the screwdriver, four holes are made on the largest face of the bag and only one on the side face. Repeat the same on the other side.
Last step and not least: place the handles in the places where the holes were made with the screws and hooks provided in the kit. And here is the most affordable it bag of all!
