I have it since July 2018. Mine is made in Italy and have my birthday (month and day) as a date code so it is very special to me. I haven’t brought it to the store yet because I am afraid to go inside with Covid situation and I don’t know if I want to give it up. It is very pretty, and I took a great care of her and it still cracked. I agree Mono is very beautiful and goes with everything. I am kinda done with LV because of the quality. There are so many beautiful bags out there and for that price you can really get an amazing bag that last forever.How long did you have yours in mono? I have the same fear but mono is really pretty so I decided to get it few days ago. Did you bring it back to the store?
