I love the Coco Rider bag you got. I saw it at NM and am thinking of buying it tomorrow. Can you tell me if it is structured so when you put it down it holds its shape or does it slouch? I think it beautiful but I want a handheld bag with structure.

Now, are you ready for the remaining 3 "heavy-duty" bags I bought from Paris?
Here you go!!!!
Fresh from Paris-Shanghai Collection..... 2.55 Icons "Wooden Effect" flap with aged gold hardware
See the vertical black lines on the brown leather? That's the "wooden" effect of the bag.....it actually makes the bag look really vintage. I love it!
And the special lock......
And the corners of the flap with metals..
Because of the design, there is no inner zip compartment underneath the flap like the normal 2.55s.....
Note: There is another version of 2.55 Icons which is made of "tweed lacquer" (you might have seen it on Chanel's website already). The tweed lacquer one in dark brown is nice and special as well, but the bag is more "winter-look" and the lacquer effect on the tweed might fade off in the long run. So, with this "durability" and "usability" factor in mind, I chose this all-leather version as it's the same price. I always love leather more. (There is also a red color for this wooden effect leather version, but the red is not that nice....it's not "red" enough....LOL!)
