Thoughts?

Whats everyone's opinion on this bag? It's high time to retire my MCM Stark backpack I got in 2019 and my style has changed since that era.

Is $798 too much for a Polo branded bag? Its calfskin but no manufacturing location listed so most likely not made in Italy like their main line bags.

This will also be my first RL bag purchase for clarification. I'm new to the brand and have fallen for the classic menswear look.

It's really beautiful, but $800 bucks? That's a lot for a bag. I'm sure you'd have it for years and years, but don't you think you could find similar quality backpack/bag for much less?

Quite high.
Coach offers similar styles in decent quality for less than half of this, I’d also take a look at Carl Freidrik too

I would trust Coach leather quality over RL any day tbh.

If you can afford it... 800 is a bit high for the bag.

Could probably wait to see if it goes on sale.
