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 crossbodyView attachment 3286870View attachment 3286865View attachment 3286866

Oh I need these things. We don't have a Mautto in the UK and I can't find an equivalent :nogood:

This is a fantastic thread!

I have a 2001 Pochette Accessories that I have used on and off. I recently ordered a vachetta strap for it so I can wear it cross body but the vachetta is brand new and mine is so dark.

Is there any way to "move along" the patina process so that the new strap looks like it belongs? I've let it sit on a window sill for a couple of months and it seems to be getting darker but I want to use it and I'm still waiting for my chains to come from Korea!

Any input is much appreciated! Thank you!

I tried to upload a picture but it won't let me. I'm a newbie. :D

Usually I just use baby wipes daily to speed up the process. But honestly the vachette tab on pochette accessories is so small. No one will notice! Wear the tab on the behind, I don't think it matters much that they don't match. It's not like other people will stare at your bag and say "that girl has mismatch strap"!

I agree...! That vachetta piece is so small, how different can it look? 😊

And here I thought I was the only one who added modifications to my bags. I have use the strap from one bag for another, added rings and clips, lengthened straps, and added extra holes to straps. But I did get a couple of new ideas from reading this thread. I am going to order some gate closing O-rings now.

Hi, I don't have a twist yet, but I'm wondering anyone ever try to take off the chain on the twist chain wallet? Anyone can help me to take a look, will that be a easy task, please? I know its sound like crazy, but I would like to have a flexibility to use it as a regular wallet. I can just easily buy a clasp to put it back if I need the chain. I just want to replace my emilie wallet, which got too many problems lately. thanks

Just wondering whether you've tried this yet and if it worked out? I'm thinking of getting the yellow Twist Chain Wallet with parrots on it, to use as a regular wallet, minus the chain. Thanks :o)
