Customisation

[jdotcurtis]

Hi! I am considering purchasing a vintage cabas alto and customising it with standard keepall/speedy handles to make it a handheld tote/travel piece rather than a shoulder bag. I’m aware I will have to remove the original straps and hardware. I will upcycle the strap leather to reattach the new handle hardware portion back to monogram canvas. hardwareWhat does everyone think?

As it’s a large tote, I prefer the original handles.

The first version of the original All-In should have been like this. I know that the flat handles are even more foldable and the 100% canvas body is also more fold-friendly, but still, that would have been more classier, and by miles. I am glad that it will become a reality, even if just a little

I think so too!id rather carry a tire in my hand or at least have the option to my shoulders aren’t struggling. Plus I like the idea of how it would look much better than its original design
