I just bought a Chanel Mini Flap and needed my car key in either a pouch or holder so it doesn't scratch the inside of my purse. I didn't like how the key sticks out so much on the bottom so this is what I did to my key holder, and it doesn't stick out that much. I don't carry my house keys because I park in my garage. I attached my Michael Kors bag charm and wear it around my wrist when I don't have pockets and I'm carrying my son.
What dye did you use on this job - this looks fantastic! Dying vernis must be hard.my walker wallet nowView attachment 3639002

+ 1 please give details on how you did this!! It looks fantastic, love that blue ❤️
I used a chain I bought from Walmart. But it didn't hold my keys because it fell off. Instead, I bought a ball chain from my local craft store (purple to match my purple metallic Chanel) It closes and the key doesn't stick out as much on the bottom. And so far it's still holding my key.
Hey! All you need to do is get Fiebings dye ( just the regular dye) and nail polish with acetone. You wipe the vernis all over with the acetone and then apply very very thin layers of the dye and wipe off after 30 seconds. Wipe with acetone then repeat every half hour. Eventually it comes out perfectly. Wipe with acetone one more time then it's all good!
My alma pm mono is arriving soon. The canvas is in good condition but the vachetta is stained. I practiced in my speedy mono and im sure i can get the stains off my bag. But i originally planned to buy a preloved alma so i could dye the leather black! I missed out on the alma pm world tour and tbh, im still bummed about that. So i thought, hey i can buy a used alma in good condition and dye it. But upon seeing amazing results from my speedy, im havingnsecond thoughts. The alma is already beautiful as it is. Im lucky to bag one for 235 dollar. The canvas doesnt show any sign of distortion and the leather isnt cracking or anything. Just some minor scuffs and stains that im sure will go away with baby shampoo and conditioner.
Sorry for the long post. I cant wait to post a before and after pics after ive cleaned the vachetta

I ordered a custom size chain from kcraft to add to my pochette accessoires nm with my previously purchased leather crossbody strap from mcraft.
wow that looks like such amazing transformation! I had never known that they would dye patent !my walker wallet now
The pink strap in my picture is from a new Michael Kors wallet that I was trying to sell for someone. I wanted to compare the colors.
oh that looks awesome! what is the chain length? did they charge alot?
Dunno if this is a good idea, but since i missed out on the alma pm world tour, i decided to choose my own stickers and stuck them into my alma hahahaha. I might dye the leather black when i have time. For now it looks like this. Thoughts? I can always peel off the stickers anyway, or i can make it more permanent by using a good tape beneath
