K-craft on ebay makes nice chain straps. I ordered two, one long and one short for my PAs. I also ordered the LV non adjustable cross-body vachetta strap and mono strap. It is great to change up the look with so many strap options.

I ended up selling the short straps that came with the PAs. I would never use them so it was nice to help defray the cost of the long straps. Another piece that is perfect for the PAs is the Felicie card holder.
Thank you for the idea!!! My short studded strap to my MC has been sitting in a bag in my closet! Once I read that you sell yours, I posted on eBay and within 30 min it sold for $130!! Never did I imagine it would sell for that much until I saw some short straps selling for $150, let alone sell that fast!!!:yahoo:
 
Big bags were never my thang! Always found them to be a hassle. Last time I carried one was when I was in junior high and I used to carry my books in a large tote cause all the other chics in my school were doing it until I started geting shoulder&back cramps...dropped that bag like a hot tamale and now carry large bags solely for traveling.

Congrats. I've always been a keeper and as a result I have a stash of things I can't even remember what they belong to. I found it very liberating to let go of something I know would never leave the stash drawer. Because I had two short straps I contemplated ways of connecting them to make one long strap. But there was nothing I could come up with that didn't look either ridiculous or would permanently alter the straps. I was happy to send them off to someone who would use them and just buy the long strap.
 
I just purchased a pochette accessories om from a trusted Japanese reseller. I like that the tab has some patina and all I need to do is polish the zipper. At half the cost of new it’s a win for me. I just purchased a replacement middle sized pouch that goes with my GM bucket bag from LV. The new Vachetta tab is nice, but already has some stain on it from something in my bag. I’m tired of stalking items that should be available for consumers who would like to purchase them so I’m going preloved. Works for me. [emoji41]

I’m with you on that. I’ve been stalking the De Mini Pochette but got a limited edition for much less than new. I don’t get why lv wants to make it so hard to be their customer! Lol

I totally understand. I was after the PA for a couple of months, but it turned out I hadn’t really called departments stores and when it occurred to me, I found a Mini PA, a Speedy B and a PA within the same month.
I feel like most LV shoppers just go online or call LV directly and that’s why they’re always on backorder.
That being said, I agree that it’s frustrating and off-putting to want these items and feel like we’re begging for them to sell one to us or make enough for everyone.
2 LV SA’s told me that the company wants to sell more of their higher end items so they make limited amounts of their more affordable, encouraging clients to purchase those instead.
I understand their logic but it doesn’t really work in reality, I don’t think. They just force us to go pre-owned so it’s a lose-lose for them.
Hope they get it eventually.

Just picked up my two new PA’s. One in mono and the other DA. The DE one I had previously and was my first LV. I only carry key pouch, phone and soft case with my glasses and some chapstick and a pen. All fits perfectly. I adore this bag and so happy to now have all. I purchased a longer LV vachetta crossbody strap, non-adjustable to go with the mono & DA. I use the favorite strap with my DE.
