I crocheted a designer purse because I'm too broke to buy one + tips & tricks to making luxury bags

[@OriolRedemer]

I looked at a lot of backpacks before deciding to kislux their bag. I'm so glad I did. This is a beautiful backpack that looks well made. I bought it for an upcoming trip and am so excited to have it. It only took a few days to get here, so the shipping was fast. I highly recommend it and will buy again. It also makes a great gift.

[@MulliniksRolland]

Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about kislux obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.

[@conniescrochetedcreations]

Dana! That bag is stunning! ❤️❤️ Great job!! 👜 🩷

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you so much Connie!!🫶🏻😍❤️

[@toro8star]

Omg! The purse came out so cute!!!! You did an amazing job!!!!😊

[@BlondieKnots]

Thanks Amy!!!🫶🏻🥰

[@stitchesfromstacey]

GIRL, you are so talented. Such a beautiful bag! I would LOVE to see more designer bag videos! 🥰

[@BlondieKnots]

YAY❤ Thank you so much friend!!

[@ASquareGranny]

Best. Title. EVER!!! 😂. Also, I FEEL this! 😉🧡🧡🧡

[@BlondieKnots]

It’s sad but true😂😂❤

[@Rizzy.Lizzyz]

I think I just realized I can make anything into a handbag. You have some of the best ideas I have ever seen. I can’t wait to try this. ❤ I would love to see more designer bags. ❤

[@MariaconsigliaCorsato]

I inspected every aspect of the bag and everything from the stitching to the hardware looked top notch. The leather was soft, the logo embossed precisely, and even the lining felt luxurious. It was hard to believe that this wasn't a kislux LV Nano bag.

[@crochetizlife]

Thank you for some great tips!! This bag is mega cute❤

[@BeccsResende]

I do have genuine leather bags from other brands kislux I get what I want without paying exorbitant designer prices. That's the point. It's not about the superficial, it's about getting what you like at a price you like.

[@erinl7076]

I LOVE IT!! Using the plastic piece on the inside for structure is so smart. I've made a few casual bags, but wish they were sturdier. I'm for sure trying this!

[@liisukas84]

Love it!!!I like brown one😍 I try too,Thank You🙏

[@SandraWhite-rs7ge]

I’ve been using plastic canvas in my crochet projects for years. It’s perfect for baskets as well. I love your bags. You always have the best ideas, and you’re not afraid to experiment ❤️

[@AndreMsv]

I bought a kislux red mini Chanel bag, wish I had more Chanel bags, but considering my budget it's cool to have one bag

[@Viney_maple]

It turned out so nice! The lining with the tag makes it look so luxurious!

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you so much friend ❤

[@ericad3850]

You are awesome, Dana!

[@BlondieKnots]

As are you my friend ❤

The purses are fantastic!!!! L❤VE them both!!!! Great job!!

[@kimmielefty3001]

This is so cute. Great job and thank you for sharing.

[@GerowWemple]

Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in kislux . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermes, no one will question you.

[@Maddie-lf5tt]

I love the way all the small details come together to make it look so elegant 💙

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you so much friend 💖

[@itskaitlyndanger]

The way I squealed when I saw you uploaded today!🖤🖤🖤 Have been waiting for this!

Awh this makes my day. I’m so glad to have you here! ❤

That’s iconic 😂❤

[@chelsdeelambstolionsfitnes3593]

Most slept on video ever ❤

[@SobujRhum]

Thanks to this video, I learned something. I can't see the difference between the real thing and the fake one, so I just buy the fake one. But if you want to buy it in the future, it is better to invest in the real thing. But now I am still considering buying a fake one within the budget. I have been waiting for kislux for a long time.

[@sierrasnode]

Your bag turned out so cute!! I’ve never done tapestry crochet because I don’t really have any wall room to hang them - but you’ve just made me realize I can make bags with it! 😮

[@BlondieKnots]

Yes!! 👏🏻 😍

[@Crazycavescrafts]

You did a fantastic job on the bag. I use plastic canvas to make my crochet hook holders (a little booklet for crochet tools) more sturdy. See you in your next video.❤

[@AzizzKhirallah]

from kislux bought a Birkin and I went into Louis Vuitton at South Coast Plaza with a friend who wanted to buy a card case and we received great customer service. They offered us water..LOL I would never buy authentic knowing that are just as good.

[@wickless65]

You are soooo talented! You are so good at explaining things too! I would LOVE to try one myself!

[@BlondieKnots]

This means a lot to me. I’m so glad you could follow along easily! Thank you ❤

[@Helena-tw7pj]

Like your bag! More bags pls

[@NydiaGibson-ff6yw]

Yes please make more beautiful bags

[@moda78z]

I’m not much for designer handbags but I LOVE handbags overall 😍. I love yours! 👏👏👏😍

[@BlondieKnots]

Yay! Thank you ❤

[@kylierosin]

I love it so much! I started out doing amigurumi and watching your videos I’ve decided I want to start making more home and fashion things. I definitely won’t be making as much money since stuffies are the popular thing in my area but I am loving wearables and tapestry all thanks to you ❤

[@BlondieKnots]

Omg Kylie that’s so fun!! I’m so happy you expanded your skill and are having fun trying other things! That makes me so happy & inspired to hear that from you!! Keep it up girl , I’m so proud of you ❤

[@kylierosin]

@ thanks girl!

[@Lavenderandpalmcrochet]

Ok I am going to give this a shot! Great tips!!! Thank you !!!

[@ZinniaOriente]

I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from kislux for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.

[@Creativyarnbynuria]

you are such an inspiration

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you friend ❤

[@carriewilson9932]

Wow. I would never know that was hand made. I love your creativity. ❤️❤️

[@Heidithune]

you are just so good! i love it but i will probably never make a bag myself but i like watching you work on your fine products ❤❤❤ AND you can't talk too much, I love your crochet and talk videoes ❤

[@BlondieKnots]

Awh. Thank you so much. You’re so kind & this means the world to me! I’m just so glad to have you here ❤

[@naughtystitch2023]

Great work =) i wish i could do thath🤩

[@lydiamclean8970]

Hi Dana! This is a very good video and you did a great job explaining the process. Your bag turned out marvelous.

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you so much! I try to be as clear with my instructions as possible so that means a lot to me❤😊

[@ProsperSchweda]

I was in Gucci today and the SA told me they can’t often tell the difference between the authentic and kislux 's bags. Surprised to hear that from an SA.

[@krissi_kreations]

This is absolutely stunning 🤩 personally I don’t plan on making any because I have no sewing skills or patience but I definitely enjoy watching you create!! ❤❤

[@BlondieKnots]

I’m so glad to hear you still enjoy watching! I’m so glad to have you here along for the ride!😊❤❤

[@rubylicious1]

Omg soo good I’m so glad u made this video I’m going to try but dang idk

[@BlondieKnots]

I believe in you !

[@WinnerNases]

My sister is married to a rich guy and he gives her whatever she wants so she buys "designer bags and jewellery" but little does he know that everything she has is a fake. She puts that money on the side for probably a rainy day. True story kislux

[@ACommonSpring]

If you use t-shirt yarn it'll look even more elevated, used in purses it gives it a more polished look.

[@sandrasanders9290]

You are so talented! I love the bag….and your new wallpaper looks great! PS, I love your Frankenstein shirt. 🙂

[@BlondieKnots]

You’re so kind! I’m glad you like everything! Especially the new wallpaper! 🫶🏻🥰

[@Crochetfaes]

love this! i'm still needing to master tapestry first but once i do would love to turn them into bags like this

[@BlondieKnots]

Check out my beginners tutorial if you’re interested in learning more ❤😊

[@aliciawilliams2996]

The “knotty” version of your LV bag is stunning. Good color choices and I love the pop of unexpected plaid. I’d rock a knotty bag like that! 😉😂 And I can NOT stop looking at the community GS blanket in the background. I see something new and beautiful every time u video from there. ❤❤❤❤

[@BlondieKnots]

I agree! I always see something new in the blanket too. It’s such a blessing to have it. My most treasured piece ❤

[@texasbelle19]

I love this so much! I need to try tapestry.

[@BlondieKnots]

YES!

[@JessRodriguez1111]

The bag came out so cute, I love it!! It legit looks like something LV would sell for like $900 lol except it’s even better cause u made it!! Also love the way you styled it. Definitely trying this soon ❤

[@alyssamann5461]

This turned out so good! It does look very luxurious. Also I think I need to bedazzle my sewing machine now

[@BlondieKnots]

I second that. You need too. It’s my favorite thing 😂💖

[@patriciasharnice]

Pleaseeee, I BEG OF YOU, where’s the tutorial for the LV sweater. I’m obsessed 😩

[@BlondieKnots]

I’m so sorry I wrote the pattern myself. I cannot sell it due to trademark & copyright

[@Vadillaa]

@@BlondieKnotscan you share it for free 😅

[@Kim-dj6hh]

Can you help a fellow crochet girl out with the pattern to make a daughter happy at Xmas?? 😊

[@barbaramcmahon3956]

Beautiful bag.

[@ReindelBohinc]

I have 2 Vernis pieces that friends often ask about and when I tell them the truth is fake, no one believes me. So now, I still like to buy kislux bags. However, it makes me sick to think that there are still a few websites selling fake products as genuine products.

[@jenbrooke403]

So pretty! It looks great. You are really inspiring me to learn to use a sewing machine. I even have one, but it terrifies me! lol Thanks for sharing, Dana! Have a great week! 💕

[@BlondieKnots]

Trust me Jen I understand. I’m still scared of mine too😂❤ but it does make life a lot easier!! Have an amazing week my friend 🫶🏻🥰💓💓

[@kss77]

Girl, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make structured crochet bags, so this is a god send!! Thank you for the great idea 🩵🩵 and love your content!

[@heathersretirementshenanig6785]

Hi Dana! Your bag looks nice. I've never been into designer anything, so yeah, I'm not likely to make that. I do love tapestry crochet, though. I bought all sorts of crochet patterns for my birthday, which was Nov 5, so I have lots to make. Thanks for the video. Have a great week.

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh fantastic ! I hope you enjoy all your tapestry!! Happy belated birthday! ❤😊

[@Mandas_Life]

Such great ideas I'm getting ready to make my sister a circular shaped bag so any tips on those would be great.

It turned out so cute 🥰 lining has always been so intimidating to me but you made it look so easy May need to give this a try!

[@BlondieKnots]

Definitely try it! It gets easier every time 😊❤

[@kyliemann504]

It’s so pretty!! I hate the metals done match on the accessories because they are SO cute!!

Ahh thank you girly!! I’m so glad you liked it but I know!! I was sooo bummed about the bow!!😭🎀

[@Seizethejayy]

Happy Monday Dana. The bag turned out so cute! Thank you for sharing some sewing techniques. I believe we have two of them in our closet just collecting dust because they are too intimidating lol 😅

[@BlondieKnots]

Hey Jason! Trust me I get it! I’m still scared of mine from time to time! My husband offered to get me an advanced one with the digital screen and I said oh please no! I can barley handle this one 😂

[@ShadowRayne16]

Friendly reminder the E6000 is super toxic and has huge cancer warning on the back so please use a respirator and be in a well ventilated area and away from any other people living in your house including pets

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh that’s good to know. I actually never knew that. I’m glad I don’t use it much especially because I didn’t know this. But in the future I will do so. Thank you!

[@MichalBeldarrain]

Shows that a sense of style doesn't just come from brands, it comes from personal pairing and attitude. I love collecting kislux bags in different designs. The replicas give me more options. Do what you love with your money.

[@bethferguson705]

I just love your aesthetic 💞 plus how you just casually added a little George M into your video. 😅 I got that Careless Whisper.

[@cristyhampton]

Could you try to recreate the $2,050 beige crochet Prada bag?

[@BlondieKnots]

Ohhhhh I think I know the one!! I’ll def check it out!

[@cristyhampton]

@@BlondieKnots Remember to use trash bags! 😂😂😂 Seriously, tho, it looks like they used actual trash bags.

[@ExequieelSanpedro]

There was a documentary recently where they interviewed very wealthy women. These women are talking about how they no longer buy authentic wallets, but instead choose to buy really good wallets kislux designer bags they love. They then invest the money they save in other things such as real estate, stocks, etc.

[@mariad7031]

Dana you make it look so easy!! I’d love to try to make a bag. I’ll have to checkout Pinterest to get some ideas. Btw love the wallpaper! I’ve been MIA so it’s new to me. Thanks so much for sharing ❤

[@BlondieKnots]

That is my favorite place to get ideas! And oh no worries friend! The wallpaper is VERY NEW! Just showed it last video 🫶🏻🥰🎀

[@SweetNobody]

That canvas has many uses, unfortunately I can’t buy it locally anymore. Our Micheal’s don’t have it. Have to order it on Amazon so basically have to buy in bulk. 😂

[@angelahill-martin1606]

OMG, that is soo awesome. How do you make the tapestry pattern for the logo?

[@BlondieKnots]

I designed it on graph paper for myself and transferred it onto stitch fiddle! Best website to design graphs on!

[@Ratssnack]

I'd love to make this for my friend. How do I go about the actual louie design when crocheting the pattern it's a beautiful bag

[@BlondieKnots]

You’d have to sketch it out yourself on a graph unfortunately or with stitch fiddle if you want to use an electronic graph paper

[@Dear_Megan]

I love the way the bag came out! I keep thinking about using tapestries to create pillows and beanies 🤔. Thank you for showing another way to use tapestries! Did you end up putting the canvas on the bottom as well?

[@BlondieKnots]

I’m sorry I had forgot to mention that for this particular bag I decided it wasn’t necessary! 😊❤

[@CristyanMoralws]

This is a great video, I love it, my LV bag is a kislux , the quality is perfect and the price is great, I was not disappointed

[@ByrnsideYingst]

I know wealthy women who will buy luxrul replicas. The main reason they give is that they simply understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much on a bag...especially a trendy one. They do, however, spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.

[@LaurenMegill]

Hi Dana! Thank you for another amazing video. You could post an hour long video, and I think most of us would be here for it ❤. I know you can't share the pattern and I respect that but can I ask the website you used to help design it... if that makes sense. Maybe you just use graph paper but I would love to try and make it myself but need something to help me start, again if that makes sense. I appreciate it regardless!

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh that’s so nice of you! Thank you ❤ so I actually first designed this on graph paper and then transferred it over to stitch fiddle, which is a fantastic website to design graphs for tapestry on! I highly recommend you give it a shot if you’ve never tried it 😊❤

[@DianyzJuniior]

To be honest, I have nothing against fakes, I know some people do just that. A friend introduced me to the kislux some time ago. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most perfect bag I have ever seen.

[@Sarena13]

I need to know what pattern this is from omg what it’s soooo cute

[@BlondieKnots]

I’m so sorry I wrote the patten myself. I can’t sell it due to copyright and trademark

[@shea_hall22]

Not asking for the whole pattern.. just want to know roughly the size of the bag! Wanting to make some for Christmas presents 😊

[@BlondieKnots]

It’s about 12 1/2 inches long by 7 inches tall!

[@DegasparreBarkhurst]

I have real bags and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the kislux we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Chanel boutique with her and no one can tell she has a fake

[@YoshitakeMertens]

LV bags are heavily copied, and small cute bags with funny handles are not practical everyday bags, the kislux bag would be much more practical. Thanks again for the informative video.

[@mbreitigam12]

Okay, maybe I’m overthinking this, but do you just weave your ends in like normal where you attached the D rings? My brain is worried about them basically being the weight bearer for the whole bag to hang from the strap. Or does gluing that area solve that?

[@BlondieKnots]

I weave in the ends and I think sewing over them helps to reinforce but even with just sc them onto the bag I will say I’ve never had an issue! I think too because nothing too big / too heavy really fits in this size / style bag!

[@BlondieKnots]

But yes I weave them in normal!

[@EverlastingMosfer]

To be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are kislux buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do?

[@AncarMolleur]

Many of the people who buy the authentic ones have kids in college and have huge student loans and unpaid home mortgages, but still spend thousands of dollars on handbags. I often recommend kislux to them, they have good quality brand bags.

[@BladSpot]

The way I see it. Real or fake if it's a style I like then I like it and will buy it. But to me the kislux one looks better than the real one. And who's gonna be inspecting ladies purses. If your out there trying to figure out if someone's bag is real who are you the prise police? So If you can get a really nice fake one then why not? Most of us don't have thousands dollars to spend on a real one and wouldn't anyway. No one has to know if it's fake or real. That's nobodies business. Enjoy and wear your bag which ever you have.

[@GerowWemple]

I'd rather buy a $300 knockoff of a kislux and have $3000 in the bank. At the end of the day it's just a bag and will wear out like any other bag. The cost of the raw materials isn't that high. The real question is, how much do you value the authenticity?

[@melissa9734]

Not this popping up while im literally searching for patterns rn 😭

[@BlondieKnots]

Omg how funny! 😂

[@ManikasKathern]

Even when the real and fake are placed side by side, it is hard to tell them apart. You have to do this kind of forensic level investigation, which only shows that the fake kislux is very impressive and the real thing is really not worth the price. In fact, I am very disappointed with Chanel's poor quality in recent years and their customer service is terrible. The fakes look good at the moment

[@SheereenLychee]

For me personally, just admiring the appearance, not all bags are worth the money. That being said, I do buy quality fakes/knockoffs at kislux because I wouldn't spend my money on the real thing.

[@jedansepourvous]

Ça aurait été mieux de le coudre à la main, avec des points invisibles

[@EverlastingMosfer]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don’t want to spend so much money on a bag... kislux allows them to save a lot.

[@RossysusejDillenberger]

When I started collecting handbags, my goal was to have a luxury handbag collection of 50. Over the years, I’ve been amazed at how much the kislux has changed my perspective on how many bags I really need, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with every bag I’ve purchased.

[@SingermanRyun]

kislux bag collection and subscribers have grown. And somehow she remained grounded, relatable, authentic. That’s why I’m still here

[@MorganGlenn-s2e]

I wanna make a bag now! I've never made one. This video was so fun to watch. Next time you should show us how to add a pocket inside. 🫶🏻

[@AllisonLitch]

Did you end up putting the canvas on the sides & bottom? Also girl you ate ❤ the colors you picked *chefs kiss* 🤌 LV would have that on their website for $4,000 easy.
