Oh...I would definitely think about buying the Steamer eclipse backpack and go through them to customize the backpack.
If you go back a page or two someone posted a pic. Looks like they used a chain, not sure from where.
I worked with her before, she did awesome work btw. Pics of three items I don with her. I love customization.
I decided to take the rings out of my GM agenda but can’t seem to figure out how to get these little pegs that held the screws out. Has anyone successfully removed these or am I stuck with them? It’s not a huge deal because I’ll only be using it when the planner is open so I won’t even see them but aesthetically I’d like them out if I can get them out without ruining the agenda.

My mother cut off the side cinch straps on my old Neverfull GM Damier Ebene, and she loves it. I had gotten a cinch strap caught on a door and it had broken off, so she just finished the entire thing off LOL! Still works as a great bag for work/travel as she uses it, and it still looks decent! Someone called her out about it being a "fake bag" because it didn't have the cinch straps on it anymore and her response was "1. It IS real, and 2. If I pay this much for a bag I can do whatever the hell I want to it!"
Love it. Could you please give us a picture how it looks on the inside where you have positioned the screw in hooks?
Totally loving it. I think the shine is gorgeous and you should enjoy the shine as long as it lasts. I also love the uniqueness of itI’m not sure if this is considered a “hack” but here goes! This Damier Azur Speedy 30 was given to me back in 2009. It originally had the vachetta leather trim and handles. This was the 1st LV bag that I ever owned. I’m new to the LV game and I knew absolutely NOTHING about caring for vachetta leather. Needless to say I trashed the handles and no amount of cleaning that I tried made any difference. I packed her away and never used it again. I was recently inspired by the Monogram bags with black leather trim so I just said “what the hell”! It wasn’t like I was using the bag anyway. I’m pretty artistic and I also am a self taught nail tech so I have very steady hands. I painted all the trim black with acrylic leather paint and used a satin finish as a top coat. I wanted them to be just a little shiny buuuuuut it came out way shinier than I expectedI then printed an enlarged LV symbol from the internet and traced it onto the bag. I used the same paint and I am sooooooooo pleased with how it came out (besides the shiny black that is). I only painted one side, but I think I want to do something to the other side. Maybe a “racing stripe” down the center of the other side with my initials? I don’t know...what do you ladies think?
Do you think that’ll be too much? I’m thinking it’ll give me the option of wearing either side and it would be like having 2 bags instead of one. All suggestions are welcomed
I hoped to see some hacks fixing a chipped NF trimming? Did anyone try anything to fix a chip or crack in a DE NF ??
I purchased these from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/DGOL-Chicago...66RZ608YBR9&psc=1&refRID=75EH3CYJZ66RZ608YBR9
I also purchased these from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/503383714/5-sets-solid-brass-connector-joint?ref=yr_purchases
They were comparable but the Amazon ones are Prime so they came in 2 days. The Etsy grommets were from China so it took a couple weeks.
I think replacing it is €50. Restoring it yourself could cause LV to never repair the bag again.
