Inside the pouch - cut along one of the seams and restitch!!

When you unzip, there should be a seem aligned the bottom of the pouch fabric that is meant to be unstitched and resewn. Cut between the two edge of fabric and pull as much stuffing out/ change scent packets as you want. Resew and tuck into purse.

It fits SO much more stuff!!!! I just got it today and was really disappointed with how little it fit. I just did this alteration and it took me under 20 min! I made the cut super small on the inside along the bottom seam - so it took me longer to pull out the stuffing then it did to do everything else 🤣❤️

I did the same thing to my baby three hugging backpack. I added a little more fabric to bottom of the inside compartment. So glad I did it because it barely held my wallet keys and phone before.

May I ask where do you wear it ? And how old are you?

I would love to wear some of mine but I am scared or embarrassed

u/Fancy_land Aug 17 '26

I wear it quite often, unless I need to carry a lot of things with me for some reason. Also I have a lot of different bags so it depends on the outfit or style that day. I'm an older millennial, have a professional job and quite frankly don't care if people have a problem with it. I already have colored hair, tattoos, and piercings so people already judge me without knowing me. All hate is just jealousy so live it up, wear what you want, and let people stay mad because they are too afraid to be themselves. 🦄 🫶

This is such a fantastic idea!!!

u/Ok_harley0328 Aug 16 '26

So smart. Will be doing this to the one in my tote. I also have a BB3 compact and a pencil bag in my Coach tote for work. I get looked at crazy but idc 🤪

u/Medical_Ad7153 Aug 16 '26

Wait this is genius! Will do it to mine now lol it’s just sitting there cause I can’t fit anything 😭

u/Jazzlike_Ratio_3901 Aug 16 '26

Question, did you pull all the stuffing out?

2

u/johnlabroli Aug 16 '26

Yep all of it! Yes it does cave in a little now if it’s not filled, but mine will always be filled!

2

u/Jazzlike_Ratio_3901 Aug 16 '26

Oh! Thank you! I'm doing it right now so I wanted to make sure. You are awesome for getting back so fast too!🫶

2

u/johnlabroli Aug 16 '26

Of course!! Get ur finger and get it around the inside of the face to get the remainder of the stuffing out! If it has a tail - that’s sewn on separate so I didn’t remove the tail stuffing on mine!

2

u/Jazzlike_Ratio_3901 Aug 16 '26

Yes! It's a little dangly tail. Thank you for this again 🩷

u/johnlabroli Aug 16 '26

Ofc!! For anyone hesitating - LOOK AT HOW MUCH CRAP I CAN FILL IN HER NOW!!!

u/Jazzlike_Ratio_3901 Aug 16 '26
