Ok don't get queasy :p

Some of you might remember my beautiful Cruise Go-14 I revealed last month. Anyway the sliding chain was way too long and awkward for me as I'm only a shorty. So I went to Loius to get them to shorten it, but they said it cannot be done. I then went to my local cobbler who also said nope.

I had no option but to take things into my own hands :graucho:

How brave of you but way to get the bag to how you need it to be.

You could always add the extra bit back in, right?

I saw someone doing the same thing (cinch the sides) with LV locks. Would need two locks of course, one on each side!

Yes that also looks really great! But the problem with that is the lock has a very narrow space on the hook, so the bag has to be very cinched. The approach with o-rings allow multiple configurations - because o-rings come in different sizes. So depend on your needs, you can have the bag cinched to various degrees.

When I want to cinch my bag to the fullest, I usually just put two bag charms on the two sides.

Yes. I would probably take it to a jewellry repairer to put the chain back on.:smile1:

Very nice!! Congrats.
I adore your spirit - we make our bags work for us, not the other way around!

So agree. I did have to take a few deep breaths and my hands got very sweaty :laugh: I just kept reminding myself that it doesn't work for me the way it is. :smile1:

I place the bucket GM chain on the interior of my preloved speedy 25 and made my own speedy B. I kind of like it more the the actual mono speedy B because there is less vachetta to worry about and I use a mono strap. I can also take off the strap and still have a classic speedy. Not sure how it will hold up but I rationalize this by saying I would rather use the bag then let is sit in my closet so I am going with that for now.

This is so creative, I love it! A bit hard for me to pull off though... I am not a handy person :graucho:

I posted this also on another tread. I got this idea off of youtube. I added a strap to the Neverfull PM and turned it into a shoulder bag or crossbody bag. I also added a strap to the BH. It kind of looks like my dream bag the Montaigne.

WOW these bags look totally sexy with the new straps. LOVE THEM!! You just gave them new life.
