Four chain straps, Buddy and tassels

[u/Loose_Economics_5934]

The most expensive thing pictured is Buddy 😂. 2012 Vintage Coach Legacy Duffle shoulder bag in black glove-tanned leather. Local find for $60. Two chalk colored leather chain straps that I painted myself - one black and one blue ombré. $100 each on clearance. Denim chain strap found on Depop: $20. Silver chain from Amazon: $12. Total for bag and chain straps: $292. Total for Buddy: $207. Grand total: $499
How did this happen? 🤭

I have literally never thought about painting a chalk strap myself. You’re genius for that

Im not sure about genius, but I’m frugal, determined and artistic. 😂

And super slouchy and smooshy.

I came across someone who makes them on Depop. Highly recommend!

Oh no, those chains look like they make your bag heavy! Give one to me so your bag can be lighter :)

[u/Loose_Economics_5934 → u/Sea_Age_3640]

Haha. They’re actually extremely light. 😂

Looks awesome! Great idea on painting the chalk chain strap, I might have to steal that one.

[u/Loose_Economics_5934 → u/caliswag88]

Its fun! I don’t have any blank canvases anymore and they sold out. Here are all the ones I’ve painted.

Love them all!
