I put my lock over my luggage tag to weigh it down and prevent it from flipping over to the back

I do the exact same! [emoji87]

My Pochette Mono. I modified it as crossbody using my Pochette Metis shoulder strap. I love it.

Also another thing that I have shared here before (not really a hack, just a new way to wear) is to use mini pochette like waist bag on the jean.

That is a really neat idea for keeping it hands free!

I always thought the pochette metis strap is a huge plus for those with other pochettes. Looking good!!

6 key multi-cles sometime needs an easy way to attach to a bag D-ring, so used an LV ring key chain hung off one of the key attachments:

LV ring key chain is awesome, but can sometimes be a bit short, so ordered an extra chain from rebirthday off ebay (lots of people use these for their pochettes) and hacked it to mirror the LV ring keychain:

Comparison between LV ring key chain and hacked rebirthday clips and chain:

I sometimes use the toiletry pouch 26 as a clutch, but wished it had a strap. Combined a very small brass key ring w/ the LV dragonne amovible:

I wish clochettes would be included with every bag that had keys and locks. In lieu of that, used one of rebirthday's clips and small keyring to hold keys for my cruiser 45. Best of all, keys can be removed at any time in case you need to actually lock the bag and leave it in a hotel room:

Preloved luggage tag. Had it hot stamped, but because of the age and patina of the vachetta, the SA said the stamp would be best without any color or foil. So I got home and colored it (very carefully) with a black sharpie marker. No fading and just as clear as a normal hot stamp:

The dragonne amovible with the toiletry 26 is genius. I'm looking for a hack similar to this for an epi square cosmetic pouch to use as a clutch. Just not sure about how the leather strap will look with the epi leather. Thanks for the idea!

Cut the straps off the Recital and added a crossbody chain on it. So much more functional for me now!

 

[Saraja]

Love these ideas!

I always throw a reusable Gap or Banana Republic bag in my LVs to protect them from "scary situations" like movie theaters, parks or anywhere where I have to place it on the ground. These bags are the best. They fold up so small and are very lite weight.

That's brave but so much more practical so why not? [emoji16]

I've had the bag for over 10 years and have used it less than 10 times. Selling it would not get me much so I figured what the heck. Now I definitely find myself using it more.

Please post a modeling pic! Would love to see how it looks crossbody with the chain strap!
