I just recently purchased a favorite mm and like many girls found the leather cross body strap to be too short...I also hated having to undo the strap end every time I wanted to wear it on my shoulder with the gold chain since it doesn't come with clips on both ends. I didn't feel compelled to spend more money on an Eva strap so I went to mautto.com and ordered the mini gold clip to attach on one end and used my bag charm to make my strap the perfect length [emoji4] I also can use my k craft gold chain for crossbody

I also use my chain from rebirthday on my favorite mm. I have never used my leather shoulder strap. I love the gold chain so much!

I have an old Musette Tango. I've tried everything to get it clean including throwing it into the washer. The piping was dirty and the staining very uneven. I cut off the Vachetta strap. I dyed the tabs and the piping with black and brown stain. I added new straps. It's rejuvenated this old unused bag. View attachment 3267643View attachment 3267644View attachment 3267647
I'm loving it again. The old strap has already been recycled to lengthen the strap of my Trocodero.

This is so innovative!! I also got a vintage mussette tango. I cut the vachette strap and put a long vachette strap for cross body. This bag is very useful!

Now that L.V. doesn't want to repair bags that are on the secondary market, I feel a little freer to modify my bags. I had an old brief case with a very sticky lining. I wasn't into spending hours with a spray bottle of simple green to remove the stickiness, if that was even possible. I removed the lining and had a left over zipper in the process. I've had an idea floating around to repurpose the zipper.
I'm making a pochette out of denim and attaching the zipper section. It is taking forever but I'll post a progress picture from my phone in a second.

Care to share how you removed the lining? I have a bag that I would like to remove the lining.

This is my first full sized wallet, and I wanted to be able to use it hands free, so I ordered a custom strap from Mautto and it didn't turn out so bad. I don't plan on leaving the strap on there all the time, but it's always nice to have the option!

Thanks for letting me share!

I think a golden chain would look much better. Try buying a bg02 chain from eBay! Just search bg02, and seller should be rebirth or kcraft, and they seem to be the same sourcr

I added a binder clip to my 4 Key Holder!

I also made a youtube video on how I did it!

Thank you for sharing! Really impressed when saw this in your own thread.

Didn't want to go to chain route because I didn't want the chain to mess up the leather and glazing!

Since I have two kids under 3, I need to be hands free most of the time and I felt bad that my Delightful PM was just sitting in the closet collecting dust, so I hacked it. I added a plain vachetta strap I bought from eBay, however when it arrived the opening of the clasp was too small for the rings of the bag, so off I went again on eBay and bought some o-rings. Pretty happy with how it turned out! Now I just need to get over the fear of ruining the vschetta handle! LolView attachment 2989984View attachment 2989985

This looks great and is such a better price way to crossbody the delightful instead of spending the $315 for the current strap lv has to buy from their website. what length did you purchase? Do you find it still matches closely?

I used to have a LV Agenda PM but now a new LV passport holder with button closure to secure everything as I really couldn't write with a ring binder inside. I watched a YouTube tutorial about how to remove the rings which was really helpful. You can even put two or three passports in it according to the Youtuber. Great for family trips! (:
