Here is my Ravello PM. I do like the short strap but decided to add a long chain shoulder strap to just to make it more functional. The D-rings on the bag are quite thick so a standard clasp won't fit. I had few LV key ring holders/extenders and simply added them to a gold chain strap I had from another bag.
When I am not using the short strap I turn it on its reverse so it sits beneath the bag. Looks good!

This actually looks great with the black trim and handles. Makes the DA really pop!I’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
Hello! I purchased it from eBay. I bought a set of 2 one black and one tan. I have found it very useful as I am a top handle kind of girl, I also think a top handle makes bags easier to handleSo cool! Where did you get the top handle to attach? That makes it look so fresh and young!

Mistake #1 that I made when punching the first hole (the left hole)
was not checking where the hole would land on the inside of the bag. It landed right on the stitching line so therefore I punched a hole right on the stitches and broke the stitches 
. To try and prevent further damage to the and prevent loosening I painted over the top of the stitches with clear nail polish to lock the thread down in place. After feeling horrified from my terrible mistake during the punching of the first hole, I took better care in lining up the position of the second hole and made it a few milimeters higher so as to not repeat the same mistake hahah
Hi all! Not innovative, but I received the insert I bought online for my TP26, and just wanted to show the photos.. I think the indigo epi went well with a strap that I have in my collection
Sorry for the modeling shots, I only have this tiny full length mirror at home!

I had no idea inserts had that ring! Love the strap!Thank you!That is so cute
I think this version is a tad too tall, but well it serves it’s purpose. I love this strap too, especially with the embroidery. I’ve never found a matching bag for it (it’s a awkward length) until now...
Where did you find this lovely insert?Hi all! Not innovative, but I received the insert I bought online for my TP26, and just wanted to show the photos.. I think the indigo epi went well with a strap that I have in my collection

I love it! I was thinking about purchasing this particular color but wasn’t sure if it would work with a navy blue dress. Is your dress navy? It’s hsrd to tell on my phone. Thanks for the visuals.Hi all! Not innovative, but I received the insert I bought online for my TP26, and just wanted to show the photos..

I bought it on the taobao international app... There’re lots of inserts for luxury bags, guess it’s similar to buying on amazon? I think it makes the space constricted though. Think I like it better as a clutch..Yes my dress is navy too! Think it would blend right in, I’d personally add an accessory to make it pop, or other colours with it. I’m no stylist thoughI love it!

PM strap goes with everything!
