Materials Needed

You will need the following materials:

• an authentic Louis Vuitton Metis strap

• scissors
• a ruler or measuring tape
• a felt tip marker
• leather punch tools (different size punches for different-sized holes)
• contact cement
• rubbing alcohol

Tools Needed

1. A hammer for punching the leather holes into place with your leather punch tools.
2. Scissors or cutting tool for trimming any excess leather from the edges of the edges of the strap.
3. Contact cement for sticking two pieces of material together. 4. Alcohol (rubbing alcohol is recommended) to create glue marks on each side where you plan on attaching each piece together and also clean off any dirt or dust from the surface before pasting it together. 5. Ruler/measuring tape to ensure that all measurements are exact and even when cutting straps or drilling holes in leather pieces. 6.

Tips and Tricks for Installing a Replacement Louis Vuitton Metis Strap

Now that you've got all the supplies and equipment you need to install a Louis Vuitton Metis strap replacement, here are some tips and tricks:

1. Make sure you have a well-lit workspace — this is especially important if you're using an awl or piercing tool on your strap.
2. Start with a clean surface, so as not to damage your bag or the replacement strap.
3. Take measurements of your original strap, to make sure that you know what size hole to make in the replacement strap.
4. Be careful when cutting the leather — it can be easy to tear or damage your strap when using scissors or a knife.
5. When using an awl, take frequent breaks so as not to tense up: use a lubricant like Vaseline for an easier action, and don't forget to press firmly but gently when making holes with the awl!
6. If using rivets, make sure that they are positioned properly—they should align perfectly on both sides of your bag’s straps for maximum durability!
