Does anybody else have an issue with hardware chipping on 1941 bags. I just bought a Duffle in oxblood. Gorgeous bag but the black copper is chipping on the turnlock every time I open and close the bag.

I go it at Macy's friends and family so it was a prettty good deal but still....I think this may be an issue because I had to return the first one I had because there was a huge chip on the underside of the turnlock. The one I have now was fine in the store. But when I got it home and opened it, there was a small chip just from being closed and traveling home in a shopping bag.

As I mentioned I love the bag but For the money, this should not be happening.

Any ideas? Should I keep it? Or is there anyway to keep this from getting worse?

I just bought an adorable turn lock tote chain detail with gunmetal hardware yesterday. Today I noticed a small chip on the part that connects to the leather. Should I be concerned? I had been a while since I bought a coach bag.
