Anyone have a non-canvas Alpha 7?

I guess it's vinyl covered, though it's not like my MS, so not exactly sure what the covering is. Anyway, I just rec'd my pink chocolate A7 and it's much "floppier" then I thought it would be. Not sure if it's because I've gotten used to the MS's stiffness or what. I compared it to my red canvas A7, and it seems less stiff. Are all the vinyl-like A7's "floppy" like that?

TIA!

I sent mine back for that exact reason - I hated it - it was so ugly "on" after I packed it up! Mine was blue chocolate, so the exterior was just like yours. Too floppy for me - I like a more tailored look!

I have the brown corduroy one--I don't think it's floppy at all, the material is quite thick so that helps.

HI - I have the blue choc and I dont' think it's ugly at all!!! :( It's so pretty. I thought it had the same floppiness when I compared to the red canvas. The coating has come in handy in terms of cleanliness so I can never go back to just plain fabric now!! The mothership is much more stiff to me.
Anyway, I think the blue choc is such a pretty color.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone's tastes! I think the blue choco A7 bag itself is VERY pretty (or I wouldn't have bought it in the first place :)) - I love the color and the type of material on the exterior. And the organization of the bag is awesome.

But in regards to floppiness, I definitely noticed that about it - when I packed it full and put it "ON" it just didn't do anything for me - b/c of my wardrobe, I just like a more tailored look.

But Fleurville is an awesome bag maker! It does seem to me that the courdoroy ones would be more substantial, but I've never tried one...maybe I should??? LOL!

No - no offense taken!!!! That's why this world makes so many kinds of bags and we don't all have the same one!!! :) I have to agree, I ahve seen the cordoroy and canvas ones and I felt they were MUCH stiffer!!!
