Has anyone tried lengthening the strap for Thames PM to make it crossbody length? How do you think that would look? Any ideas on where I can get a strap with buckles to match that I can add to it? TIA!
 
I’ve been wearing my red Noe so much, since I’ve
1. switched out the strap for the mini dauphine leather strap.
2. switched out the leather cord for a cord with sliders (like the neo noe cord), which i had on a random bag I had before, non-luxury.

Previously, the shoulder strap was too thick and stiff and kept falling off my shoulders. The cord was annoying even after I tried numerous ways to tie it differently.

Now the beautiful red Noe is in frequent use, which makes me very happy!

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.
wow this came out great! looks so fresh with the new vachetta!
 
Oo my kind of thread!
Has anybody managed to shorten the chain straps of the Vavin PM, temporarily or permanently? I tried tying the straps together under the flap or looping it under the flap (like I do with the Chanel Jumbo), but the empreinte leather is no where near as stiff as the caviar, so I'm concerned the flap will collapse with weight. :doh:
