I love the Mini-Soft Trunk. And I absolutely love this version. Mine is in the Mono Eclipse, and I reach for it often. Unfortunately I have a problem with the black chain links. Where the links rub against each other has become very worn. Unfortunately the strap can't be replaced, since it can't be removed. LV has offered me either a new bag (which will probably have the same issues) or a refund. Considering the price of the bag I will need to make a decision on this. But I love this bag so darned much, that as a consequence I'm reluctant to give up on it. I'd be curious to know if anyone else has had this problem with the chain links chafing? It almost looks like plastic that has peeled.
