FREE PATTERN! Make a designer bag dupe for $110 😱 Graceful DIY Sewing Tutorial

Let's make a DIY dupe of a discontinued Louis Vuitton bag that retails for over $2,000 USD! ✂️ All pieces are cut from measurements. Download the cutting chart/pattern here: http://simplyclassic.net/bag-making-resources/louis-vuitton-graceful The Louis Vuitton Graceful hobo bag was discontinued in 2025...but that's no problem for us! As bag makers, we can make our own version at home for $120. Follow along with this tutorial to make a slouchy, Louis Vuitton inspired bag. I made mine less slouchy than original designer bag, but you can certainly make yours slouchier by adjusting the size/placement of your stabilizer. The finished bag includes 2 interior slip pockets, an interior zipper pocket, and a key fob. It measures 12” W x 11” H x 6” D. Thank you to everyone who requested this tutorial over in the Simply Classic Bag Making Community on Facebook. Don't forget to share photos of your completed bag! I can't wait to see them.
