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! View attachment 4050651

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.

I didn't do this hack to my Speedy but the wear on the chap loops you're describing is similar to the wear on my Odeon. I have wear on the strap attached to the D-ring and on the loop attached to the bag connecting the D-ring. I don't carry a lot in my bags and I still have the wear. I'm starting to see similar wear on my Bloomsbury and I've only carried it for about 6 weeks (total), since I purchased it last year. It's inherent to the design structure of each bag.

Thanks for the info :-). I actually asked my husband to make me custom made D loops but he didn’t get around to do them yet. I ended up buying Alma BB instead.

Tried to make my mini pochette a belt bag:)
With the chain attached to my Eva leather strap on the lower belt picture. Upper waist I didn't use the chain but it is a bit tight. I also tried to do this with the Eva bag but it is a bit big for the waist. Not too bad though.

Now I really have to try it with all mini pochettes and pochettes
