What is your creative solution for concealed carry? For the moment I've settled on a Ruger LCP in a custom pouch dressed up a little. I carry my LCP 1st gen in a pocket holster and a spare mag in this pouch on my belt. I had a local guy fabricate the pouch and found the peace patch on Amazon. I thought the word "Love" was appropriate for the contents and the fact that I'm a long haired old guy from the hippy generation.

No great creativity for me. About 60% - 70% of the time my Sig P365 sits in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster and a spare magazine in my other front pocket.

The remainder of the time I use a Kramer Leather Horse Hide OWB belt scabbard, a Kramer magazine pouch and a Kramer Horse Hide 1 1/4" belt. Once again, no new fangled methods there.

When I first started carrying concealed 45 years ago I tried carrying a 1911 Colt Gov't model. Tried several different methods, Milt Sparks summer special, OWB leather holsters and even a shoulder holster - - GAVE UP! For me there is no way I can carry a full sized 1911 all day. Felt like I was carrying an anchor and I had to hike my pants up every 5th step.
 
I'm not very creative. All of my carry holsters, pocket or otherwise, are quite standard.

My point being that I don't use creativity, I use what smarter folks have created! :D

Not trying to be critical but!
My first thought upon viewing your lovely little pouch there was that between the pouch covering the entire pistol and the pocket holster as well, it would be next to impossible to get a firing grip on the gun in an emergency.
 
Most "creative" carry options make for a gun that is hard to access.

I'll stick to OWB, and pocket holsters.
 
I use a Braid's OWB holster for J-Frame revolver. Pictured here with a 638-3. Holds the revolver securely and fits close to body. All I need to conceal it is a T-shirt.

For the Glock 42, it's a Bianchi #57 OWB holster.

.38SuperMan your pouch is very creative and I doubt few would guess you have a Ruger LCP and a spare mag in the leather pouch. The "love" patch is a nice finishing touch. Wearing a tie-dye t-shirt and bell bottom jeans who would think you were packing. Just need a belt with a peace symbol buckle to complete the hippie look.
 
Cheap but practical, I carry a SIG P220 in a Kydex Blade-Tech IWB holster. Over the years, Blade-Tech has improved their design, with balanced retention and rounded corners. It doesn't need to be fancy. The only person likely to see it is a cop or bad guy.
 
Depending on what I'm carrying I use several different solutions. I carry my Smith 640 no dash in a nice compact leather Fanny pack and sometimes carry my LCPin a nylon belt pouch with my cellphone in a second front pouch. When carrying my Shield 2.0 I use a Nylon Fanny pack. The leather pouch with the V Love patch is what I carry when I travel. It's comfortable on my belt when driving and I don't need a shirt over it or jacket. I live in the south and hear and humidity can get pretty high in the summer so the less I have bro wear the better.

As to having the right look, I'm mid 70's with 2' long silver hair pulled back, old jeans, white beard and carry other items in an old gas mask bag with a peace symbol on it. I'm missing the shirt but can take care of that.

Peace!

Edit:
I was hoping to see some original pouches or bags rather than commercial holsters but if they work for you then that's all that counts.
 
Not very creative, but it's what I have carried 90-95% of the time for the past 15+ years. SA Micro Compact .45acp 1911 in an original first generation Blade-tech kydex IWB copy of the summer special. Kydex clip-on individual mag pouches are from Kytex Shooting Gear. Simple, very low profile, easy on/off yet very secure.
