My kelly wallet did not work for me as a wallet since I was always afraid that the hardware will leave dents/marks on my bags. It was also too big for my smaller bags. As a weekend project, I decided to repurpose it. I saw a video posted by Hermes Cannes on Instagram where they turned a kelly wallet into a shoulder bag but shoulder bags just don’t work well for me. I decided to turn it into a pochette instead by following the first few steps on the video and just experimented until I was able to get the result I wanted. After many trial and errors, here’s the end product.

Here is the video link:

I followed the instructions up to the point where you make the knots on the straps and then I just played around with the length of the strap and braided it to make a substantial handle.

My black beauty cowgirl Birkin is back from @docride! I am beyond thrilled with the end result. She not only had a beautiful set of hardware all ready to go, but as an added bonus the hardware is burnished to coordinate with the black Chevre perfectly! I feel so lucky to have her locate this bag in a 35. It's the perfect size for me. Very fitting that my post belongs here as I originally saw @diane278's beautiful cowgirl B while browsing one day during many days of SIP. Thank you for letting me share my excitement!

A moment in which patience takes the hand of chance.

A prize goes to the only one who encounters this native but rare cinnamon beast of SIParsec.

A jaunty but restorative ride just beyond the din of the covert.

Love your kitty. :heart: I thought mine was mellow but I don't think she would tolerate being ridden, especially while she's eating. :lol:

A neighbor brought me oranges from his trees yesterday.. I’m loving having another reason to use this bowl....

What does it say about my shelter-in-place mentality that my first thought upon seeing this photo is "Mmmm, those oranges look like they'd make a great garnish for an old fashioned!"? I'm pretty sure at least one or two old fashioned indulgences recently have concluded with me making an unplanned purchase from h.com, so I should probably step away from the liquor cabinet AND the computer. Lucky you to have a neighbor who shares his bounty, enjoy!
