My mini “chain” pouch. Yes the chains are metal 
I saw Jerusha do this on her bag! Love this and might seriously consider this bag now.......... if they come out with a color I'm in love with.
New to this thread but I wanted to share that I too was influenced by Jerusha! I always loved the pouch but the larger size is too big for me and the small size was a little too plain. Enter Jerusha with the brilliant idea of attaching a chain to the small pouch and I was hooked! I went to my local BV and was able to scoop up this really cool and unique pouch made of “kraft”. I’ve never had a beige/nude color bag before so I was super stoked to see something as different and unique as this. Paired with the chain that Jerusha recommended in her video and I’m IN LOVE! So happy to have finally figured out how the pouch would work for me.
(Bonus tip: the chain strap came with two large circular rings and I just thought they looked weird on the bag so I took those off and replaced them with two 0.4” jump rings from Michaels that fit perfectly and now blend the bag and chain together seamlessly!)

I jump in the New Bottega world this month ! after I scored a really nice wool vest for 745$ (Reg 1490$) I FINALLY after a Year of looking for the mini pouch and I taken the Kraft Version,
I made the purchase at the Montreal store and was Very happy with my purchase. Until he tells me that their bag does not come with a box but the bag counts as the box ????
However on the BV site they say that their purchase comes with a box but no shopping bag
Did it just happen to me? or their bag really does not come with a box - which is disappointing considering that ALL the other brands come full package

I’ve bought almost all my Bottega bags from the Montreal boutique and only my two large intrecciato pouches came in boxes; but that’s after me insisting and they gave me a ginormous “old version” brown box that was so large you could fit in the shopping bag it came in. My SA said the reason for the lack of boxes was that the brand was trying to take a more eco-friendly approach in their packaging.
I love this! I was wondering about doing this with my pouches, but I thought the leather loop was too tiny
My chain pouch in porridge, love this so much

You mean the big pouch or the mini?
For the mini, i think you can buy smaller ring clasps that would fit on the leather loop.
for the big pouch, there is someone from youtube that did a hack in putting chains in the regular sized pouch, there is a gap in the sides of the opening where you can insert a leather loop/ponytail where the clasps of your chain strap can cling. Shown below in my trine pouch.
I also did not receive a box when my mini pouch arrived! Ordered mine online btw.
