I got my first LV-bag the other week on my 30th birthday, a pochette of course

. I think it's so versatile and fits with everything. I would really like a long monogram strap to wear it cross body because this is usually how I always wear my bag. When I asked in the LV-store in Copenhagen some months ago about that option they said they don't sell it if I will use it for the pochette...I just visited Louis Vuitton in Athens and they said they didn't have any mono straps (I hope that was the truth...). At the moment I'm using gold chains from k-craft for the bag but I feel a long mono strap would be a safer option and suit better for daytime wear. Are the straps so hard to come by? I'm going to Rome next week, do you think I have a chance of finding one there? I looked at ebay also but there they sell them more expensive than in the shops even if they are rusty (!) and with some stains. Would be so thankful for any help because I really imagined me using this bag with the long mono strap.
