Musette tango

Bought a preloved Musette Tango. The owner before me had already hacked it. Removed the short shoulder strap and added a longer Louis Vuitton strap, so it can be worn crossbody Love the bag!!!

I have the musette tango too. I also cut the short shoulder strap and hook a long strap onto it. It’s awesome!!

I don't like wearing the chain with my Marine Rouge PF for daywear, so I've been looking for a navy blue cross body strap. I decided to make my own using cowhide leather, Fiebings Navy blue leather dye, rivets and swivel lobster clips to wear with my PF until I find another strap.

In picture with strap attached to pochette, the strap on the left is the finished smooth side; the side is the unfinished rough side of the leather. Lighting and flash highlights he difference in color and finish (strap has gloss from Fiebings Resolene). Difference is not so pronounced in person. For $12 (already had dye and resolene for another project) It works until I can locate a strap.

This is awesome! Nothing better than diy.

I really want to dye an Azur bag that I have. I think navy handles and Azur print are a perfect match.

I got a cheap calendar, removed it from the plastic sleeve it came in, cut down the center to make loose pages, then 6 hole punched it to have a calendar in my MM agenda. The page size is smaller than it should be, but I don't really use the calendar that much (I use my phone calendar) because I don't carry my agenda all the time. I've seen some beautiful calendars here on TPF, and this doesn't even compare, but for 50 cents, it's there for quick planning!

This is such a creative and affordable option! It looks great and the price can't be beat! Won't hesitate to suggest this as an easy DIY :)

@chasy.price - Thank you! I have similar plans to dye the vachetta on an azur bag, which is why I had the navy dye. I've been "practicing" applying the dye on small cowhide pieces before I attempt the bag. The practice is allowing me to understand how to apply the dye correctly, which is paramount in achieving quality results. I purchased a few additional cowhide pieces to make straps ( 2 natural unfinished and 2 black). This is one of the natural unfinished straps next to my Pallas Clutch LV vachetta strap.

They have both arrived!

There is a big difference in quality as to be expected but the amazon/ebay one is great for the price! In addition to fitting in the above items (mono Old model Pochette, da new model Pochette and De Favorite mm) they also fit in the toiletry pouch 26. They don’t fit in the Chanel woc, zippy wallet, toiletry pouch 19 or Longchamp cosmetic pouch

Amazon/ebay
Pros - Cheap, easy to obtain/replace, zip for coins/more security, can add a strap for wristlet
Cons - very tight card slots (hopefully won’t take long to loosen up), Nylon Lined, less card slots

Lv Felicie
Pros - very luxurious feel and quality, all leather including lining, holds more cards
Cons - hard to obtain, expensive, no zipper for coins

I just received the 6 card slim holder from Amazon. It's a nice Saffiano leather and fits in my cerise pochette and Mallory pochette. So glad I saw this hack here, I hated having money and cards floating around in these bags. I know having this will make it easier to use these bags more often! Thanks for the great info!!

I was able to find the Bolt Key Holder for a great price on Couture USA. Thanks for the suggestions :smile: View attachment 4037914View attachment 4037915View attachment 4037916

ETA: Looking at the pictures closely it looks different than the ones I saw posted here.... [emoji848] hopefully they are just different models of the same item?

Two different versions of this were made I believe. I have both styles, however I cannot figure out how to open this same version you have. Have you opened it? Please share! :heart:
