I have thought about this as well. Probably need to be really careful and use some tools. It can't be impossible, but I would imagine once you take it off it would be a permanent thing.

I ended up doing it! Just used some pliers to open up the ring. It scratched the ring a bit, but getting the ring off was exactly what I wanted and is so much more functional for me now.

Looks good! Though it is probably best to find a gold tone key ring to attach this to.
So is your empreinte key cles all awesome now? Pictures!
I didn't have a brass key ring, but I did order one from eBay, so hopefully that'll be here shortly.
Yep, all perfect now!

Wow this looks really good! Quick question: could you fit the same amount if you didn't detach the chain, but leave it out instead? Or did the chain itself take up space?
I could still fit the same amount in it is the chain was left out. I just didn't really have a use for it, so I'd tuck it in and it would make it bulge. Hope that helps!

Great to know! Thanks for sharing. That sakura-like color is tdf.
I've never actually used my key pouches to hold my keys, because the metal clasp is awkward with keys attached, and makes the pouch too bulky and not zip properly. Until now.
I added some hardware to attach my keys then attached it to the triangular metal piece in the pouch.
No more bulk.
I can use the LV clasp to attach to my bags.
And tuck in what I'm not using while I drive.
If I need to valet park or have my car serviced or washed, I just detach the keys from the pouch. [emoji4]
