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!
Good to know there are two different versions, thanks!
It was reallllly difficult to open it at first. Like onlyk said you pull and turn, but I guess this version you focus more on turning and not so much pulling. I hope that helps!
Not a unique hack but I have a very, very old strap from an old pochette accesoires that I almost wanted to throw out but now has new life! I followed the hack here of attaching an extra clasp on one end and then I wrapped the whole thing with a twilly. Now it looks revived and super cute with my bucket pochette.

I did the same thing to my papillon 26!
I have been searching the forum to see if there any innovative ideas for the vintage pochette and i have not found any. I have a pre-loved vintage pochette and it doesnt come with the D ring and the strap is clipped to the zipper. Any suggestions/ideas on how i can add a strap to transform this bag into a cross body bag???
Would love to hear some.

I was having the same idea but I am afraid to do it because I thought when I try to put the ring in, I might damage the leather. I even bought the Alma strap for it. I have my Speedy in DE. I ended up buying Alma BB but I want to try your trick now. Do you find that the rings curl the leather part up a bit after you’re using the bag for a while?
Check the first few pages of this post. I did a bunch of strap related hack because I love pochettes (old and new models).
For example, post #14 on page 1 and post #25 on page 2.
Without stitching a fabric loop on the end to attach a D ring, I can't see a way to add the strap. I'm glad the design was changed to add the D ring on both ends.
I did this with my 21-year old Mono Speedy 25 and I never looked back. I can't leave the house without the crossbody strap esp. when I have my 2 little kids in tow. Love it!

Actually in my case, the ring curled up the leather a bit. I think this was due to the heavy stuff I carry in it and I was unmindful of it. Unfortunately, the sides of the leather has a bit of damage but it was not ripped. But mine is a vintage bag so I think it's one factor to consider. But personally I still love to use my bag crossbody. But when I have heavy stuff, I just carry it handheld or in the crook of my arm. It's still up to you if you want to try though. Others who have tried this hack might chime in to tell of their experience.
