Not sure this counts as a hack but here goes. This was a very tired Alma; vachetta was very dark, scuffed and dirty. I used vachetta colored paint and a variety of other colors to get the glazing on the handles. I laso ordered a lock for her. Not sure I will actually carry her (I am sort of a purist when it comes to my bags) but it was fun to do.

LOL I have no idea what looks like something on the bottom.....there is no chipping or dirt. Some sort of shadow from the papers on the table. This was right before the handles got their "faux glazing." Bottom is still as good as this

This is very cool!!! From picture it doesn’t look like a paint job at all, though I think irl it might be more obvious!!!

Great job no matter what.

I brought my TP 26 on my trip for dual use: as cosmetic pouch then converting it like this into shoulder bag when needed. I just tuck in the vachetta tab when I loop the gold chain through. A+ for versatility!

I have a 26 that I was thinking of selling and this has changed my mind!

That looks very sophisticated. I love this 26; I love it as a clutch, crossbody and as an organizer/makeup pouch inside a bag!My mom says she remembers something similar from the 70's and people carried them as clutches way back when

I really like cinching the sides of my Neverfull but its kinda ruining the leather and keep sliding down. I am so glad saw a hack on this thread using pearl shortener clasp which I bought from Amazon. So happy!

Ooh, I like this. Pls send me the link. Thanks!

While waiting for the Favorite PM strap to use as crossbody strap for my pochette accessoires, I decided to use the existing leather strap from my 7 year old Palermo.

It needed more length so I attached an LV strap extender.



I then added an old bag charm, and it gave the final inches and bling needed.



And, voila!

That's another thing I like about Azur, almost every color looks great pairing it!

Yes, and I think the 26 is a lot more useful than Neverfull's pochette.

Here is a hack. An old Looping mm with great canvas, a good interior and a trashed looping strap. Removed the strap, added d-rings and a strap. I can change out the straps with different colors and lengths depending on my wants/needs.

I have always liked the shape and simplicity of the looping but the rounded strap never worked on my shoulder. Luckily you can pry the original strap off, leaving a perfectly placed hole on each side. Simple d ring screw rivets fit right in the holes.

amazing just recently sold my looping GM because of the straps not working out for me. I did put binder circles to clasp long straps but this is neater.
