Hello everyone! After thinking about this for a long time, I finally purchased the Eva vachetta strap so I can use my pochette accessoire as crossbody. I'm having second thoughts now and wonder if it was too expensive or if i should go another option. But I am also not sure how i feel about using non-lv strap with lv. See my decision points below, and I welcome your advice!
1. Return the lv strap and purchase a non-lv vachetta strap from etsy.
2. Return the lv strap and purchase non-lv chain from online sellers. I also looked at the felicie chain in person, but the hook is too small since I currently hook both the pochette and mini pochette together on the shoulder strap.
3. Return the lv strap and buy the Eva clutch in DA or Monogram (which will of course include the strap in my purchase)
4. Keep it and lvoe it!
I realize option 3 means significant cost increase , so I'm not sure. i think the Eva is really pretty, but I don't know if it's too similar to pochettes I already have in my collection. On the other hand I don't have DA piece, so maybe it's a good time.
Also, can anyone share their experience of the vachetta strap vs. chain cross body strap for pochette? I like the look of the chain, but the vachetta seems more comfortable. Is the vachetta too casual? I've been told my "casual" is other people's dressy, so go figure
In my collection:
Monogram - pochette, mini pochette, neverfull (stephen sprouse roses ), pochette florentine, and pochette twin gm
DE - speedy 30
Chanel lambskin small bag for special occasions
