I agree. I also really wanted the Cooper. But it does not fit a laptop. If only Coach would have thought of that - to make it just wide enough to slide a 13” laptop in it. Dang it. The Charlie is nice, though. And, very functional. Just not as nice as the Cooper.I have the gray Charlie as a work bag too. I wanted the cooper but it didn’t fit my laptop. It is a basic bag but, as noted above, in terms of functionality, it is great. I hate work bags that are too wide at the bottom - everything sloshes around. This one is just the right width. I also considered the rogue brief case but that one has such square edges, i didn’t find it attractive.
