1. Little vintage bag

Dear friends!
I hope you are all doing well and lead fabulously creative lives wherever you are. 
I am having a little project to lift myself up without spending a fortune. I am going to create new looks from my existing clothes and accessories. And the first victim is Shin forest green vintage-inspired clutch :)

Of course it's perfect as it is but after a some wears I want to change the strap to make it look more like a Hermès Constance or a Chanel 2.55 ... whatever!
First, I cut off the original strap and wrapped it around my wrist :) then I bought a dog chain from a local super market and took away the 2 big rings at the ends and linked the chain together.
TAH-DAH!!!!



The good thing about this is that now I can carry my clutch either ways and have a bracelet to go with it :)

Have a nice day!

Love and sunshine,

Yeah, chains look amazing with small handbags, I did a similar thing, but I also threaded a ribbon through the chain. Yours looks really classy now, and I love how you kept the original strap as a bracelet, that's smart!
