Thanks for posting! I saw this and immediately got my cles, took off the chain and attached it to my luggage tag.Fixed 2 problems at once 1) the cles never worked for me since none of my keys fit on it 2) the luggage tag never sat right on my Speedy.
Now I can use both the luggage tag and the cles (ack that useless chain annoyed me!).
How did you take the chain off your cles? I also hate that thing. Even when I use it for keys, it's too long!
Nice! Was is hard to get the ring threaded? I think this would be much prettier than the leather ties I'm using.
Pliers. Pliers to open the triangular part of the chain inside the cles and pliers to close it back up.
I love this idea. Thanks for sharing. I currently use a DE strap from my Siena for my Speedy 25 but hook it on the hardware.
How did you insert the ring without scratching the leather?
Where did you get the loop to put in the strap? Do you think the bag is holding up well and won't tear?
I'm not sure if this counts as a hack or not... But I've merged two of my favourite bags - mono Pochette Accessoires and the mono noe bb to create a gorgeous little shoulder bag. I have used the strap to the pochette to make it really look like a mini petit noe. The trick is not to over-fill the bag. So if I would have packed it in my pochette then I can pack it in my noe. I hope you like it! I do - I love having different uses for my bags.
