Dont the ones that come in bags all have metal chains not leather straps?
well at least all mine do!
I believe the ones that come in the buckets have chains and not leather straps. I also think they might be a bit smaller but I could be wrong about that...
I see pochette's used as handbags / shoulder bags all the time. I saw two ladies today at the mall wearing them on their shoulder and I see ladies here on the forums post pictures of thier pochette as bags all the time. Shoot, I even used my pochette the other night when I went out for dinner....
