Its Mautto.com Look at the adjustable strap options w/Gold #16 Hook or Nickel #16 Hook and choose the option for hardware only. I didn't post the link since I don't if posting links to an external site is allowed.

What color leather should one choose? There is no vachetta option I don't think.

Thank you for the help!!

If you are trying to mimic the look of an LV vachetta strap, you can buy a vachetta strap from Valuebeltsplus.com and replace the hook with the #16 hook from mautto.com. Just make sure the description for the strap you purchase says the hook is removable. IHTH

Has anyone removed the keychain from an empreinte cles? I'm probably crazy, but I'm using mine as a mini wallet and it would be much more functional of the key ring wasn't attached.

I detached the vachetta strap from my neverfull pochette and attached it to my keys! If I go in and out of somewhere fast, I put it around my wrist! So easy!

Not really a hack but I was really worried about it pulling on my ignition thing. I read it in a post. I did not want to stop using it with my car keys.

I used to do this! I'm not sure if I can with my new car, but I probably need to try it. I have the 6 Key Holder in DE

Great thread!

Here's my Marylebone PM with the Fleur de Monogram Charm Chain. I used an extra chain strap to attach the charm as it's too short to fit between the handles.

Too cute! That looks great!

I am really exploring all sorts of non-LV add ons! With discovery of mautto I got a bunch of new chains.

I'm SO torn about using non-LV add ons! I love the ones I've seen here, though. I think the key for me would just be finding good quality items.

I love pochettes. I think pochette is the most versatile slg piece, with lots of possibilities...

Agreed! I just got my first one!

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:
