I recently bought little leather corners from Etsy same colour as the strap and added them on I love the way it looks and it also means the hole is protected
I’m waiting on delivery of my first “real” LongChamp.I’ve waffled for a few years and finally placed the order. I ran across this while looking for ways to do eyelets for crossbody, but your idea to do bottom feet is genius! Also adding the thin chopping mat and new light colored liner, - I didn’t know I needed that till now!
I confess I've been punching large holes in the end pieces of leather and adding a strap to my Longchamps for about 15 years now. And I only buy short handles now too because that works so well with the long strap. I don't even buy other brands of bags anymore, I find there's a Longchamp for every occasion and they're so easy to store between uses. instead of having a spare room to store my bags and shoes, I now have my many Longchamps stored in one of the big x-large totes. I love the feet you've put on your bag though. I'm definitely borrowing that hack. Thanks for sharing these little pieces of genius with us all...👜😎
How does the large pliage hold up with the added straps? I tend to carry everything but the kitchen sink lol and am wondering how well it will hold up.
So glad that you’ve commented that to convert Therese bags to crossbody. When I first considered this awhile back there was a mention that the tabs might not be strong enough to hold the weight. Have you had any issues, or any extra hints for this conversion?
Thank you so much for showing the inside of your bags! I've been watching so much videos and barely anyone show the inside. I wanted to see the inside it makes a whole difference
Thank you for the super feedback. And thank you for taking the time to watch what I have made. I plan to make more videos but am running out of bags, hence why I have borrowed some. Take good care, and happy new year to you.
I want to try the strap hack, I have the navy blue bag like the one you have, which strap would you recommend I purchase to match the bag? I don’t happen to have any thank you so much !
I'm searching for an insert organiser that doesn't look like I'm carrying g a box ...for a medium neo longchamp ...really appreciate any suggestions please..from the UK....love the idea of the straps ....
Hi have you looked at handbag Angels? They are thick felt made to order in any colour. I have found a few on Amazon and Ali express ?

Ps or this mesh one in large, should leave space in your bag for other things www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004499632031.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.21.59d35d12ornIkT&algo_pvid=62ffdec1-a9e9-4cb7-bc1f-edf58052ae9a&algo_exp_id=62ffdec1-a9e9-4cb7-bc1f-edf58052ae9a-10&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000029378547178%22%7D&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21GBP%214.41%213.53%21%21%21%21%21%402145288516758898427561204d0761%2112000029378547178%21sea%21UK%21164717574&curPageLogUid=Zt7ESbUgQMyS
Also how thick would you recommend the added strap be? For it to be able to support the weight of the stuff inside Sorry for the desperate questions commenting as I watch
thank you for taking the time to watch the video. I think it depends on how you want it to look, the trend now is for thick webbing, or you could get thin brown leather. Etsy have lots of choice and you can choose the hardware colour to match your bag. You could go for a contrast colour. you can also get the grommets from amazon, eBay or etsy, just make sure you select the correct hole size for the strap you want to use. good luck it would be great to know that it worked out for you.
Hi im from the philippines.. may i know the diameter of the eyelet metal ring or rivets you use?. And thank you for this video i really appreciate your talent and generousity for sharing this..❤️❤️❤️
Hi sorry I’m not sure. I bought a box off Amazon a few years ago and just used them. I would suggest getting the strap first then measure it for the size. X
How do you get the wrinkles out of the nylon? I have a Prada nylon/leather bag and nervous to iron or put in the dryer on low. Steaming didn't really help. Any tips?
I stick mine in the washing machine. But longchamp are cheap in comparison. The leather has always survived. I think a very very low iron may do it. Be really careful or it may melt. Could Google temperature the nylon melts first. Or safer bet spray it with a little water, plant spray, or damp with a sponge and hang it near a radiator. Or over floor vents. Only ideas please don't blame me if they don't work. 😳 How the ideas help. Let me know what works. 👍😁
Agree with you there, yes they have gone up in price astronomically. My Ralph Lauren tote is better quality nylon, has feet and a detachable inside pocket and was cheaper. Best to look out for Kate Spade etc during the sales as they seem better value.
Not damaged, only improved and enhanced. I love longchamp bags then realised they can be improved for my needs. I don’t expect any one to like what I do. It is not a serious channel, just a bit of fun for lock down. 💃🏼🕺🏻😀
OMG what did you do!!! You molested the bags. By other bags with feed and organisation inside. Leave this brand the way it is!! Buy an organiser for the bag that you can switch. This is painful to watch
Oh nothing is ever perfect. After 30 years of using these i thought these were good ideas which make my life easier. Max use and life out of the nylon. Sorry you didn't like the hacks. Don't you think bags are a bit of fun though 🙂
I disagree. I thought these are amazing useful hacks. Especially if you might otherwise just throw the bag away. Ideas to extend le pliage life are awesome!

Thank you for taking the time to watch my ramblings. I really appreciate every comment I receive. x
love these ideas!! great bags and simple hacks to make them even better
This is great! The hacks are great, your sense of humor is off the charts and the thumbnail is just amazing. Keep making videos, you’re doing awesome!

Take good care, and happy new year to you.
Loving the look of the bags ❤️🥰
PUTTING FEET ON A PLIAGE....I feel so behind, but my mind is blown. Genius!
How do you care for your lighter color longchamp? I love the look but I am terrified of getting it dirty. Yours looks incredible!
Thank you for the feet hack. I actually make longchamp organisers in my Edinburgh based business!
Genius!!!! Thank you!
Good tips! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome!!!!I love them all🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. X
Great ideas! Love this video!
Yay! Thank you! xxx
I have seen people add punch holes to the new cosmetic bags to make them into a mini bag

Let me check
Love the cross body strap hack! Which diameter of eyelet did you purchase please? Thanks!
Hi sorry I’m not sure. I bought a box off Amazon a few years ago and just used them. I would suggest getting the strap first then measure it for the size. X
Does your le pliage small short handle in the color paper?
Yes I believe it is and I see that they have brought it back for Spring 23 :)
How do you get the wrinkles out of the nylon? I have a Prada nylon/leather bag and nervous to iron or put in the dryer on low. Steaming didn't really help. Any tips?

I feel you could have made your own by adding one step to all you've done so far.
Just a tip for future videos: let the text stay on the screen a bit longer, I read incredibly fast and didn't even have time to read all of it.
Why doesn't Longchamp just add these features to their bags?
yes, hacking this bag would void it's warranty, i believe...
To be honest, Longchamp should just improve their bags considering the cost already
Agree with you there, yes they have gone up in price astronomically. My Ralph Lauren tote is better quality nylon, has feet and a detachable inside pocket and was cheaper. Best to look out for Kate Spade etc during the sales as they seem better value.
Lol just buy a bag with all the things you’ve added! Stop vandalising longchamp 😟
Not damaged, only improved and enhanced. I love longchamp bags then realised they can be improved for my needs. I don’t expect any one to like what I do. It is not a serious channel, just a bit of fun for lock down. 💃🏼🕺🏻😀
Yes, no creativity or ingenuity is allowed EVER!

I meant buy other bags….

Omg!! Get a hold of yourself! It’s just a bag 😂 and I think I might do some of the hacks myself 😂
