Would you mind sharing where you got this chain strap? I've been looking for one like it!I added a chain to my large kirigami by punching holes and attaching D rings.

Hi no not at all. Actually another member here (sorry forgot who) told me about it from amazon. The only downfall is that it took about 2 weeks to come.Would you mind sharing where you got this chain strap? I've been looking for one like it!

Thank you.This is brilliant! How did you know where to punch holes? Did you measure or just eyeball where you thought?
That looks great! You do have steady hands, it looks like it came from LV that way. I'd be happy the way it is, do what makes you happy.I’m not sure if this is considered a “hack” but here goes! This Damier Azur Speedy 30 was given to me back in 2009. It originally had the vachetta leather trim and handles. This was the 1st LV bag that I ever owned. I’m new to the LV game and I knew absolutely NOTHING about caring for vachetta leather. Needless to say I trashed the handles and no amount of cleaning that I tried made any difference. I packed her away and never used it again. I was recently inspired by the Monogram bags with black leather trim so I just said “what the hell”! It wasn’t like I was using the bag anyway. I’m pretty artistic and I also am a self taught nail tech so I have very steady hands. I painted all the trim black with acrylic leather paint and used a satin finish as a top coat. I wanted them to be just a little shiny buuuuuut it came out way shinier than I expected I then printed an enlarged LV symbol from the internet and traced it onto the bag. I used the same paint and I am sooooooooo pleased with how it came out (besides the shiny black that is). I only painted one side, but I think I want to do something to the other side. Maybe a “racing stripe” down the center of the other side with my initials? I don’t know...what do you ladies think? Do you think that’ll be too much? I’m thinking it’ll give me the option of wearing either side and it would be like having 2 bags instead of one. All suggestions are welcomed

Where did you get the D rings?Thank you.
Yes, first I looked to see where I could punch the hole from the edge which would fit the D ring. Then I wanted to make sure the hole was not too close to the top where the vinyl could rip. Next, I wanted to make sure you couldn’t see the rings in the front when the flap was closed.
