Rivacase Clark 8134 — 15.6″ Laptop Bag, RPET, Black
15.6″ laptops and MacBook Pro 16Only 0.65 kgRPET from 8 recycled bottlesWaterproof zipper
The Rivacase Clark 8134 is a black shoulder bag for laptops up to 15.6 inches — and, unusually, Rivacase states it also takes a MacBook Pro 16. It weighs just 0.65 kg, which is light for a bag with a proper suspended laptop compartment: the laptop sits in a neoprene hanging compartment with padded sides, measuring 365 x 250 x 30 mm inside, so it hangs clear of the base rather than resting on it. There is a tablet pocket up to 11 inches, a spacious documents compartment with a zipped mesh pocket, an inner pocket with a detachable key strap, and a front zipped pocket for a phone and cards. The outer fabric is RPET polyester — Rivacase states the equivalent of eight 500 ml plastic bottles goes into each bag — with a waterproof zipper and water-resistant fabric. PU handles, a removable adjustable padded shoulder strap and a trolley strap complete it. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Note that Rivacase files this bag in its “business backpacks” section on the English site even though it is a shoulder bag, not a backpack — a site-navigation quirk rather than a product feature. On the specification itself, watch the weight: some reseller listings quote 820 g, while Rivacase publishes 0.65 kg consistently across its English, German and Italian pages. The tablet pocket is rated up to 11 inches, so a 12.9-inch iPad Pro will not fit it. On water protection, Rivacase claims a waterproof zipper and water-resistant fabric — the zipper is the sealed part, the fabric is not — and no rain cover is supplied. Rivacase publishes no volume in litres for this bag and prints its external dimensions without axis letters.
Best For
✓ Carrying a 15.6″ laptop or a MacBook Pro 16 to the office
✓ Anyone who wants a light bag rather than a padded brick
✓ Business travel where the bag rides on rolling luggage
✓ Keeping documents flat in a dedicated compartment
✓ Buyers who want recycled fabric with a stated bottle count
✓ Switching between hand carry and shoulder carry
Key Features
Neoprene hanging laptop compartment
The laptop sits in a separate neoprene compartment with padded sides that suspends it inside the bag rather than letting it rest on the base. It is the same principle as the suspension systems on much more expensive cases, and the internal size is a published 365 x 250 x 30 mm.
Light for what it carries
At 0.65 kg empty, the 8134 is roughly half the weight of a padded briefcase in the same size class, while still fitting a 15.6-inch laptop or a MacBook Pro 16, a tablet up to 11 inches and a documents compartment.
RPET with a stated bottle count
The outer fabric is RPET polyester made from recycled bottles, and Rivacase publishes the figure: the equivalent of eight 500 ml plastic bottles per bag. That is more specific than most brands manage, and it applies to this article rather than to the collection as a whole.
Organised and travel-ready
A documents compartment with a zipped mesh pocket, an inner pocket with a detachable key strap, a front zipped pocket for a phone or cards, dual zipper pulls, comfortable PU handles, a removable adjustable padded shoulder strap and a trolley strap for rolling luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a MacBook Pro 16 fit a bag rated for 15.6 inches?
Yes — Rivacase states both, and the two are not contradictory. A 16-inch MacBook Pro has narrow bezels and a smaller footprint than a typical 15.6-inch Windows laptop of the same era. The published internal compartment is 365 x 250 x 30 mm, which covers both.
How much does it weigh, 650 g or 820 g?
650 g. Rivacase publishes 0.65 kg on its English, German and Italian product pages for this article. The 820 g figure appears on some distributor listings and is not a Rivacase number. It is worth knowing, because the low weight is one of the main reasons to choose this bag.
Is it waterproof?
Partly, and Rivacase is precise about which part. The zipper is described as waterproof — that is the opening most likely to let water in — while the fabric is described as water-resistant. No rain cover is supplied and no rating such as IP is published. It handles rain on the walk from the car; it is not a wet-weather bag.
Will my 12.9-inch iPad Pro fit the tablet pocket?
No. Rivacase rates the tablet pocket at up to 11 inches, which covers a standard iPad or an iPad Pro 11. A 12.9-inch tablet will need to travel in the main documents compartment alongside the laptop rather than in its own padded slot.
Singular Expert Insight
The 8134 is a well-judged bag for people who resent carrying weight. At 650 grams with a suspended neoprene laptop compartment, it gives you the protection principle of a much heavier case without the mass, and the RPET fabric comes with an actual published bottle count rather than a vague eco badge. The compromises are the ones you would expect at this weight: no litre figure, a tablet pocket that stops at 11 inches, and water protection limited to the zipper. If you want a structured case that stands up on its own and locks, a DICOTA or Targus briefcase is the better tool. If you want something light that disappears under your arm on the way into a meeting, this is the one. Browse the rest of our

Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You carry a 15.6″ laptop or a MacBook Pro 16 and want the lightest sensible bag — 650 g — with a suspended neoprene laptop compartment, a documents section, a trolley strap and recycled RPET fabric.
Skip it if
You need a 12.9″ tablet slot, a structured case that locks or stands upright, a published volume figure, or genuine wet-weather protection. Rivacase claims a waterproof zipper only, not a waterproof bag.
Also consider
Rivacase 8124 if your laptop is 14″ or a MacBook Air 15, a Kensington SP40 for a simpler nylon toploader, or a DICOTA Eco Multi COMPACT if you want a lockable clamshell with a 12.9″ tablet pocket.
