Chain strap from mautto, long vachetta strap from eBay (the seller moved off eBay recently; opened their own website, but this strap isn't only there).

Double o-rings are really cute! Chain length is 16 inches.

I am ready for summer!!

Oh wow, I really love the look for this! :loveeyes:
Pocket with a long strap as a cross body; it's really cute and convenient.
I personally have a musette salsa, with a long strap instead of an awkward shoulder strap and I love it! It's my everyday bag. :biggrin:
 
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:

Really like the look of your Sac plat with a little brass locket hanging in the middle...
Not too crazy but still accessorized, and with a signature LV touch! :tup:

Which eBay seller can I order this vachetta strap from/what's their current website? I did a search in the forum and couldn't find any info!
:sad: TIA!
 
Want to see my delightful hack?
I was a little bitter that the new Delightful PM came with a bag charm and the old model did not. I've read I could probably get it but I'd rather put the money toward something else. I went to the hardware store to see what they had in the way of key rings to add to an old Michael Kors leather piece.
This is what I found.

I hung it on my bag.

The toggle was $2.49 and the ring was $1.79.
This style toggle actually goes better with my Keep All strap than the LV toggle.

Hardware store! What a great idea!
 
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!

Wow. This looks great! The Vachetta strap matches perfectly!
 
I didn't know if this "qualifies" as a hack.

I have a very small hallway, which easily looks cluttered. I used to have differenty umbrellas, mittens and such hanging, but it just looked messy.

Then I though: why not used those gorgeous brown LV bags instead? Now it looks more streamlined and I LVOE it [emoji173]️ ImageUploadedByPurseForum1431266445.979526.jpg
