Wow! You replaced the piping completely by yourself. And you even bleached the stitching. Very brave, and it looks really good!

Ahh, I could not think of the word earlier, piping! I’ve been watching a lot of Bedo’s on YouTube and felt inspired. I didn’t feel so brave when I had to start handstitching the pieces back together but I eventually got the hang of it. I’m very happy with how it turned out!

My picture when I received it and the ebay listing showing wear and tear. I thought it'd be a fun project to try and rehab. I am just an amateur tailor with a lot more ambition than real life practice I ordered some vinyl trim on etsy and got to work
View attachment 5176897
I threw out the old trim, kept the plastic piece that was inside the trim because my replacement trim was much larger than I wanted (tediously took apart the new trim to insert the original plastic piece to make my own trim). I washed all the pieces with some laundry soap and hung to dry. I went in with a little watered down bleach and soapy water to clean all the stitching up:

And then painstakingly handstitched the pieces back together because my sewing machine isn't strong enough to put all those layers together. I learned how sharp a leather needle is from this experience

Great idea! I purchased the oblique pouch in December and I thought of this but never pursued it. Need to see close ups as to how you attached this! Also from where did you order the strap?

This is great it comes with the strap. But since I have the blue strap from LV i just need the d-ring. Good luck with your purchase and don't forget to post pic!
