I have been searching the forum to see if there any innovative ideas for the vintage pochette and i have not found any. I have a pre-loved vintage pochette and it doesnt come with the D ring and the strap is clipped to the zipper. Any suggestions/ideas on how i can add a strap to transform this bag into a cross body bag???

Would love to hear some.
Just curious but what year is yours?
 
Added D rings to Noe Poche (Noe Pouch) so I can add straps

Do you need to cut the microfiber inside for D ring? Do you mind posting pic of inside so i can get the idea? Thank you

I did not cut anything. The holes are already there. The D ring comes apart and you put one side in one hole and the other side in the other hole then cramp them together while being cautious so it does not cause damage (it is a risk you take). There is a YouTube video someone did on it that you can look up.
 
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:love:

Sorry for the modeling shots, I only have this tiny full length mirror at home!:amuse:
Please post the link where you got the insert, tia.

May I ask for the link of the insert, thanks.
 
I have been meaning to share my Compiegne Pochette restoration. I have both sizes.

Lovely vintage pieces and the quality is amazing. Fully leather lined however these are known to have sticky and peeling pockets.
Here's my fix.

I removed the original leather peeling lining using a brush, cleaned it out painted the lining backing with a fabric paint. Once dried I sealed it and voila.
I'm not sure whether the Compiegne was designed as a toiletry pouch or clutch.

This looks great, I have mono and Epi Trocadero’s with the same sticky pockets. I removed the stickiness but hadn’t thought of lining with something else.

I just did not like the way it looked once I had removed the peeling lining. I have a vintage Bordeaux 2 way clutch and a Pochette Chaillot Epi GM, I used a fabric similar to faux suede to re-line the interior pockets
 
Wanted to say thank you for the person that posted the Cles on resting on top of the steering wheel. My primary car has a push start so I never have to worry about taking out a key but when I had my other car it was an inconvenience with the car key. This solved the problem without weighing down the starter.
