Let's Show How We Do LV Hacks!! Share Your Innovative Ideas and Ways to Modify LV

I just started using a chain wristlet strap on my pochette NM - love it because it stays on my arm and is easy to pick up and get going quickly while carrying! Never was a fan of using non-LV add-ons with LV before, but now I see the benefit. It works for me!

I am really exploring all sorts of non-LV add ons! With discovery of mautto I got a bunch of new chains.
 
Another pochette hack, this time with pochette NM.

These hooks are from mautti, they are in the 0.5 inch width straps, choose hardware only.

I think they will also work with luggage tags, and possibly favorite straps (if need bigger loop, use the 0.75 inch width hardware).

One of my favorite things is to integrate locks into bags/accessories that don't normally have them:

Brass lock hung with scrap brass clip from a necklace off the end of a pochette accessories nm:

Brass lock hung off the zipper of poche documents using a very very small brass key ring:

Sac plat is one of my favorite bags, but front/back is so plain. Added a lock hung off the handle hardware w/ scrap of an old brass chain:

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:

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:

Lots of good ideas!! The toiletry pouch with the strap looks very fab.
I see that you are also a hook lover. I love these little things. I also put a clochette on one of the hook and use it as a mobile bag charm. The little hooks are really really useful!!
