For a while I have wanted a new strap for my smaller bags, like clutches etc. I tried the Speedy shoulder strap and a few others but while searching ebay I found this old handle from a Louis Vuitton bag, it was quite cheap so I decided to go for it and now I have turned it into a cross body strap buy using some chain and lobster clasps. I actually tried it on my Pochette Metis and it looked quite nice IMO :)

I've never actually used my key pouches to hold my keys, because the metal clasp is awkward with keys attached, and makes the pouch too bulky and not zip properly. Until now. :)

I added some hardware to attach my keys then attached it to the triangular metal piece in the pouch.

No more bulk.

I can use the LV clasp to attach to my bags.

And tuck in what I'm not using while I drive.

If I need to valet park or have my car serviced or washed, I just detach the keys from the pouch. [emoji4]

Ooh love this idea .

But where could we find extra clasp ? All I remember it's from speedy b straps or we can buy that extra separately ?

Not sure, it is a PM and so you can't carry that much so less likely than the GM. I saw someone using it this way with the MM on youtube. I would say proceed at your own risk, if you see any signs that it is causing a problem then stop. For me, I don't intentionally try to damage my bags, but I want to get the most use out of them and if it means that I will carry it more this way compared to leaving it alone and not carrying it because it is less convenient, then I would just make my alterations and enjoy the bag. If it get's damaged then I cross that bridge when I get to it. But this is just my personal opinion. I carry my Neverfull PMs much more often now with the strap and I am happy to be using them. They are holding up well and I have not seen any damage, same with the alteration to my speedy.


All the best!

Do you remember the seller's name on eBay? Also do the browns look similar from DE bag to strap? Thank for the pictures!

not a problem, the colour is close enough to match the DE colours
i bought it last year and cannot remember the seller's name but, if you search on ebay for leather straps you'll get a lot
i think a couple of pages ago some member posted a link to chains, that seller also has leather straps
failing that, mautto is good
