Brilliant!My recent surgery.
I turned a clutch into a crossbody bag with a top handle. It's a frankenbag and I love it.
But I may perform more surgeries in the future.
Have you customized your bag in an invasive/more permanent way? Pics Please!!

My little changes that I made to a mens Prada toiletry pouch I added some D rings and added a strap and made a nice little crossbody nylon bag for a fraction of the cost for a regular crossbody bag. I sewed down the side handle that sticks out. Showing stock photo than

Wow, this is amazing !!! I have two balenciaga toiletry pouches which are the same shape and size as a cross-body hip, but no D ring attachments, I WILL do the same THANK YOU ! I will have 3 hip bags, dark grey, marine blue and pumpkin orange. I do not use cosmetic pouches ever so they just sit in their dust bags as pretty as they are. You made my day.
I also have a few of these phone/camera straps which are perfect for cross-body, just to match the colours right (Happy-Nes straps)

I've found some on Amazon that are basically the same.

Please post the pictures of the end result! Those straps are beautiful and should look great with the Balenciaga pouches. They're way too gorgeous to just sit in the closet unloved.
Ever since I saw this article, I have been fascinated by this idea (but too chicken to try it!):

Already ordered leather punch-hole pliers.....will get it on Monday and the adventure will start
My inspiration for my work on an old Belstaff came also when I saw Chanel, loosely related.....it was the look of my dreams which involved a Chanel bag, do not mind the model if you do not like her ( I do not care ) but the style of this look is what I would wear this second, especially the boots, and the jacket, and the bag....I am glad my Belstaff does not have obvious logos though

yes ! New inspiration, I have quite a few Le Pliage to modify for strap, and now with hole-punch on the way....no one will stop me
