Vache Fjord Leather - durable? holds shape?

[aalinkaa]

Ladies, I have figured out that the bag I am getting is Vache Fjord leather. I know nothing about this leather. The bags I have had in the past were Togo, Ardenne or Clemence. Can someone offer some insight as to how it compares to Togo or Clemence? Does it hold the shape well? Durable? Doesn't scratch easy? More or less expensive? Is it lighter in weight?

My first Birkin was in Fjord, and I love it. Holds its shape well, fairly lightweight (my other Birkins are Box and Barenia..lighter than Barenia and heavier than Box, but once all my stuff is in it, they all feel heavy!), and is not delicate by any means.

Fjord is lovely & stiff & also durable. I have also got a little rain on it on several occasions with no probs.
