[kifana]

Dear all, I have attached few pics of my two LP with shoulder strap as below:



I have got few questions on how I did thr strap holes. Here are the close up pictures of the hole & the tools:



The DIY is super easy. Here is the youtube link:

And here is the tool sold on amazon.

Good luck in trying this 👍✌️

Thanks for posting! I'm hoping to get a short handled one in the future and may be brave and try this.

What sized eyelet/grommet did you use on your LP(5mm,6mm, or 12mm)? Thanks!

 

[kifana]

I used the 8mm

THANK YOU! Thank you for all the helpful information. I am still afraid I will mess it up but this knowledge will help me when I gather enough courage.

Lol ✌️
Just enjoy our LP the way we like 👌

Maybe, we can also ask a cobbler to put holes, like they do on a strap or belt...

Few years ago, I told my hubby I was gg to do this when my longchamp gets older but he scoffed at my idea back then. Love what u did to ur bag!! It's very nicely done

It's so easy to punch grommets with one of those tools! I've never tried it for a purse before though. You're brave, glad it turned out so nicely!

Thank you guys. I am enjoying my LP even more with the shoulder straps 💖💖💖💖💖💖.

I do not use my LPs very often because I am such a crossbody girl! This is so creative, and those leather tabs look like the perfect spot for the holes. I hope to be brave enough to try this!!

Me too, i am a crossbody girl ✌️
I love the super light LC as a crossbody bag 💖

Ooohh I need to try this! I might start with my XS LP, it would be the perfect crossbody bag for travel. BTW, your custom LP looks a-ma-zing! Love it

So smart! Have I missed any mods? This seems like a great idea. I've been thinking about using my large lp as a diaper bag but hesitate because of the lack of crossbody option. Yours looks like it was meant to be that way!
