  • As I already promised in the unboxing of the Chanel vintage vanity case, I want to share with you, how to convert a vintage Chanel Vanity Case into a Crossbody bag! I used hooks from Amazon and a chain-strap from a preloved bag, to convert my Chanel vanity bag into a beautiful handbag, that can be worn crossbody. What do you think about this handbag conversion?

    I think you did an excellent job! The advantages of converting a vanity bag are that you could still use it as such, and if not, then you have created a unique piece that nobody else has with this exact chain/D-ring combination. I've done something similar years ago with a red patent cosmetic pouch (not Chanel, unfortunately), and when it was no longer my handbag style, I switched it back to it's original purpose and am still using it daily for my makeup.

      Thank you for sharing the story of your patent pouch ❤️ - putting some DIY effort in, makes the piece feel even more special to me 🖤

    Mary you did a great job and in my opinion it's even better than the current bags 😍 No one in their right mind and without wasting money would buy a Chanel bag produced in the last 4 or 5 years 😅 due to the hyped prices and the lower quality 😬 That's why I told you you should keep it 😍

    • @LuMiLevelUp

      Thank you very much 🥰 - so true, the Chanel prices went up so much, but the quality just got worse and worse. Vintage Chanel is the only way to go 🖤

    This looks amazing, I am so surprised that it turned out THIS good! 😮 Amazing, especially considering the price you paid ❤

      If I would own an authentic Chanel removable strap, this DIY would be perfect - the hooks attached so beautifully, as if they belong to the bag 🖤

    This is fabulous! ❤. The one thing I thought would be a problem was finding hooks that wouldn’t move. This is perfect! It looks great on you. The smell should dissipate once you let it get some air and you’ve been using it so it should get better.

    Mary, I was so excited to see the transformation of the Chanel vanity case into a crossbody bag finally come to life! 🎉 I've been eagerly awaiting this video since you mentioned your plans in a previous one. Your DIY skills and creativity really shine through, and the end result is even more impressive than I anticipated. Not only did you make the bag more functional, but you also made it uniquely yours. You've definitely inspired me to try something similar. Thanks for sharing and sparking such great ideas! 👜💖

    A bag of dried lavender helps a lot with the old smell! It pretty must removed the smell that mine had :-)

    😍👍 (always carry a lavenderbag in your bag😀❣️)🖤

    • @LuMiLevelUp
      @LuMiLevelUp  4 місяці тому +1

      Actually that was one of the steps I took aswell 😁 - but I was somewhat to early with it, which gave the bag a super strange combinational sent of musty lavender 😂💜 - should try again now, after I neutralized the worst of it

    What an interesting video. You did a great job! For a short while I’ve been thinking of buying the new LV toiletry pouches trio and converting one of them into a bag but ended up with the same thought as you used to have in the past. I think however there is a big difference in converting a 700€ chanel vanity and a LV canvas pouch given the current Chanel price while with LV it gives you a saving of just a few hundreds euros. I will remain being a conversion-sceptic but I’m sure you’ll rock your new bag. 🤩

      Thank you Adrianna 🥰 - I actually enjoy to wear the toiletry 26 as a clutch bag aswell 🙈 - didn't see that coming, back when I bought it... cause I do own several actual LV Monogram bags (and thought, I wouldn't wear a toiletry as my bag), but somehow it's so easy to use, grab and go 😅🙈 especially when being on vacation and not taking that many bags in the luggage...
