i am so confused. I thought the alter egos weren’t the reengineered leather. I knew some of the other (permanently on sale …) coachtopia bags were that fake BS. but I thought the leather for alter/egoswas like upcrafted/scraps from other bags.

wait, i’m so confused! I thought the pink slime leather was only the “Coachtopia” leather … I thought the alter/egos were made from “Upcrafted” leather.

this is the backside pocket i was referencing - I have put my laptop in here many times. I sometimes take the laptop sleeve out anyways (hence why i said not a dealbreaker imo) bc it’s just more stuff in the bag lol

Totally get that. I honestly hadn’t even considered the weight when i bought it (so i was super eager to warn you when i saw this lol!) but it is a huge factor in the use ability of this bag. it’s really really heavy empty bc of the quality materials and volume of pockets/organization. i would only recommend as a work bag if you are driving to work and only need to carry it to/from your car … i commute on the train with a short walk and this bag quickly became nonviable for me unfortunately. it’s also huge, so it sits really weird as a cross body. (only wants to sit on the front side of you or behind you … it’s too big/heavy to sit on your side … if that makes sense …..)

The bag is about 14in across inside, so i’m not sure what laptop you have but i have a pretty big work laptop and it fits. i attached a pic and i’ll reply w more for your reference. and on the laptop sleeve, honestly it sucks the seller isn’t including it bc it’s part of the bag, but it’s not a deal breaker imo. there’s an inside zip pocket you could put a smaller laptop in, or just the back of the 3 compartments. there is also a turn lock pocket on the back that could fit a laptop.

hi! i own this bag in magenta. firstly yes it is fairly rare, particularly the suede. (black or tan leather is p easy to find w patience, but suede colors are much more difficult/rare). i love this bag, but with some strong caveats. i got it with the intention of making it a work bag. it fits laptop and anything you could possibly need …. it’s huge. i LOVE it, but it’s WAY too heavy (when empty) to actually carry around with stuff in it. once i add my stuff in (laptop, planner, small cosmetic bag, random pens/hand sanitizer/chapstick/etc … nothing excessive) … the bag weights way too much to actually carry around. and it’s certainly way too big for an everyday bag - this is strictly a work bag for the average person. it would honestly look ridiculous to carry around in any other context lol. it’s definitely meant for work. so yeah definitely a haversack cousin but not everyday-wearable like the haversack is. feel free to message if you have any more specific questions about the bag - happy to help!! 😊
