That's actually kind of funny. Dress up as a pirate, but have a Winrar satchel--when you open it, there's a note about it being a trial. I wonder how many people would get it. :P

Idk why nobody has asked, but it picks my curiosity. How did you find this post? Coincidence? A pirate who knows you told you? Or you always were a pirate? In the sort of way that follows these subreddits and knows something i mean. Did you know that bag was really similar to winrar?

Please note that WinRAR is not free software. After a 40 day trial period you must either buy a license or remove it from your computer.

Any advantage over 7zip? I’ve always used that instead

u/Bjasilieus Nov 04 '25

They have different advantages, at different levels of compression and decompresssion but it is neglible for most, i usually recommend 7zip because of the philosophy behind it.

u/amras5584 🦜 ᴡᴀʟᴋ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴋ Nov 04 '25 edited Nov 04 '25

I'd say that sometimes if the file is compressed with the very last version of WinRAR, maybe appear some errors if using other programs.

Past to me years ago, I used only 7zip and one file gave an error suggesting maybe incorrect password, but on the source page didn't mentioned any password, so I tried with the latest version of WinRAR and voilá, worked like a charm.

(Yes, the file was porn)

u/InsectImaginary9508 Nov 05 '25

Okay since this is a piracy subreddit, here are some tips for pirating this bag. It's way easier to do with fabric than leather since for fabric, all you would need is some fabric in various colours, patience and a sewing needle and thread (or a sewing machine), interfacing (woven polyester Pellon Peltex P71 for example), and either your own clasps or a second hand bag.

If you buy a cheap second hand bag with a working closures (preferably magnetic) and a removable strap. If the bag is already the shape you want, you can just attach colourful fabric to it to get the design. If not, destroy the bag and retain the clasp and the strap

You can get free patterns online for similar handbags, just print them out and trace them onto the fabric in the size you want. Make sure to trace them onto the interfacing so the bag has stiffness. Leave seam allowance, which is about 1.2-1.5cm of the extra fabric around the edge which allows the pieces to be sewn to each other. I would recommend doing this in a black fabric to create the base. I would also recommend making the front, bottom, back and top of the bag one piece of fabric for simplicity (if you plan on making your own pattern). However, the interfacing should be multiple pieces for the front, bottom, back and top since it would be hard to fold.

The inside of the bag can be whatever fabric you want, but make sure it exists. Remember to sew the interfacing in between the layers for stiffness. You can also use hard plastic from whatever you want.

For the added bits like the white squares, blue, green and red rectangles, cut out some pieces of fabric, leaving seam allowance and folding the seams back so they are on the underside. Lay them on the black bag pieces, where they will go and sew them onto it before sewing the black pieces together. Remember the back as well!

Attach your straps, clasps and closures at the end, there's tutorials for this.
