I finally got around to having a strap made to extend the Thames PM to use as a crossbody. The original kept falling off my shoulder and didn't feel secure.

Hi! I was looking at a preloved Thames with the thought to try this! Looks great. Where did you find a match for the strap?

Thanks! I got the strap and buckle from etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/739854188/real-leather-crossbody-strap-replacement?ref=yr_purchases and https://www.etsy.com/listing/1012957068/belt-roller-buckle-rings-assorted?ref=yr_purchases) then just had a local shoe repair/leather shop turn the strap into a belt.

Hi there, did you find the strap you ordered was pretty close to the width of your bag? I'm wondering because I have the Thames GM and want to do the same thing you did. The listing says the strap is 1.18" and I would think thats pretty close to my current strap width (in the photo)...

I was going to create a thread then I saw this hahahahah. I bought the kiragami set and bought a strap holder to use it as string. I’m 162cm; 120cm chain is good enough just nice on me.
To add on,
I’ve gotten the buckle protector and it works nicely too; hope it prevent the fading…

With my hands always using hand sanitiser and hand cream, I didn’t want to dirty the cream handles of my new wild at heart speedy 25… so i wrapped it in cream ribbon and secured the ends with really strong sticky tape… View attachment 5182654

Just to share I previously did this to my bag and I think I wrapped too hard and left it in a cupboard didn’t really use.. end up my bag handles had some marking and I’m not sure if it’s the humidity/heat that cause those marking + finishing to come out a little

Not a bag, but a hat
I took out my old straw hat, removed the original ribbon , stick on the preowned LV shoulder pad that I bought online, put a few stitches to secure the shoulder pad , and put my bandeau through. Since the bandeau is not stitched , I could change it to other bandeau

This is a really clever and pretty idea! Thanks for sharing you look great with your "new" LV hat!
