This Bentley laptop from Ego is hand built, with authentic Bentley cross-over hand stitching along with color schemes that match Bentley’s style.
The inside metal reflects the paint job on the outside, while the outer leather is taken right from the seats. The metal carry handle even takes inspiration from the car’s door handles.
