Give Another Life To Your Handbag



I have to admit I only have a few vices in this world.... not much of a drinker or smoker but shoes, handbags and anything Burberry I WANT NOW!!! As I was cleaning my closet, I found couple of handbags that are worth giving a new look. With a little of creativity and DIY ideas, I transform my Burberry bag and a Marc By Marc Jacobs Bag.

   

This was my first BIG purchase. Back in 2007, I was in the Hong Kong Airport waiting for my first and couldn't believe that they had  Burberry!!! This was a splurge and it cost me $250, but after a while I found myself using it less. By adding the chain, this bag became perfect for the weekend.


This Marc By Marc Jacobs was purchased at Threadflip, after using a coupon I got it for $35. The bag itself it's no much of my style but by adding the chain and using it as a crossbody it does a vintage feel.
 
If you are planning to do this DIY, make sure you use a similar color in the chain that matches the hardware of the bag. I bought the chain and hooks at Beads World located between 37th & 38th St and Broadway.
