the_frenchman 31 Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Wanted to share my last purchase from Jose Maria who did a really nice job with my latest project. I had a old Gen Louis Vuitton handbag that was useless on the garaje, so suddenly had some inspiration to produce some watch straps of it. The final result was what you see on the photos: some straps for my PAMs and another one for my wife. I know this is not of a taste of some of you , but has you all know i am french and during my life i always been very close to LVs items , and i really like them to be honest. I think it´s a bit flashy , but my 511 in RG with the LV strap makes a good combo for some luyxury nights during the year. Enjoy Edited February 4, 2016 by the_frenchman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_frenchman 31 Posted February 4, 2016 I like it. I think the keeper needs to be LV too. Thanks! I saw some other guy in google while i was doing some research to see the result and he had the LV logo on the keeper, i didnt like it very much as i thought with the monogram print i will have enough with logos.

WatchaholicMallorca 2 Posted February 4, 2016 Looks great to me. Wasn't keen at first when I saw the buckle on the second pic, but seeing with the Panerai, I think it can be pulled off, great idea well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McJules 396 Posted February 11, 2016 J'aime bien le résulat! Je ne suis pas fan de LV mais le travail est très bien fait!! Superbe strap qui complémente à merveille une superbe Pam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikohublot 0 Posted February 11, 2016 This looks very nice ! And very good idea you had ! . How many straps comes out of your bag ? =) Maybe you try it on some LV Rep Watches ?=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted February 11, 2016 Looks good! Being gen LV leather I don't mind it as it's aged well and not as in your face as it would be new. Looks perfect on that watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adezo 0 Posted February 11, 2016 That's a perfect match. Really nice combo! I don't think it looks to flashy at all. The strap has a nice aging to it and in some angles you can just hint the LV logos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
