The Louis Vuitton fast Bag is arguably one of the most recognizable (and many coveted) designer bags of our time. It’s a true classic that was first conceptualized in the early 1930s. though the original fast lacks a take on strap, it was intended for daily carry, modeled after another Louis Vuitton classic: the Keepall.
First introduced in the 30 size, the bag now comes in 3 additional sizes, not to mention multiple colors, fabrications, and there’s even a version with a built-in take on strap: the fast Bandouliere.
The fast bag is a must-have for every bag lover. It’s not only on the much more budget-friendly side, but it’s also both trendy and functional. Not to mention, we’ve got 4 non-invasive suggestions and ticks to help you get even much more out of your fast bag! We took the below hacks for a spin using a vintage fast 35.
DIY O-Ring Strap
Our first hack works wonders not only for functionality (we all could use a longer strap from time to time!), but also to add a bit of flair. personally I purchased my fast before the fast B was a thing, and though I’m uncertain which I would have chosen had the fast B been around already, nothing beats the original.
The fast B might be a bit much more functional, but the original fast is a true classic. worry not though, we’ve got you covered with this trendy hack! These acrylic chain straps are available through Etsy or Amazon, and with a tiny gold hook, you’ve quickly made your fast both a bit edgier and a bit simpler to deal with too!
Interior Pocket liner for Makeup
Last week I polled you all to see how you tote around your cosmetics, and in the post I discussed how I previously made use of interior pockets when I primarily used larger bags. My Speedy’s pocket, especially, has carried tons of lipsticks and powder palettes and I can certainly tell you I’ve had to wipe up a few stains
This hack is not only simple, but it’s also both low-cost and extremely effective! All you need is a sandwich bag and a pair of scissors. quickly you’ve got a place to store your cosmetics while protecting your bag at the same time.
Crossbody scarf Hack
Another easy way to up both your bag’s function and fashion game is to use a scarf to create a crossbody strap. here we used an Hermès Twillon, thoroughly tying it around the outside metal strap loop. Be sure to tie the scarf on opposite ends (one on the bag’s back, and the opposite deal with on the bag’s front, as shown).
Interior Bag Shapers
Before
After
My favorite hack of all, though a lot much more useful than fun, are these extremely helpful bag shapers. I had my fast 25 packed away in storage for practically 5 years without a single use. When I took my little lady out for a spin I was upset at how misshapen it was. I used to store it flattened out, and though I’ve begun to store it very stuffed, it still doesn’t hold its shape well at all. I’m about to purchase one of these for my bag too!
