Will I look like a dork if I pull up to an ib interview with a black leather document/portfolio handbag

Rising sophomore male. I’m not a typically classy guy I lowk only wear shorts and t shirts. My mom got me this like black leather document portfolio handbag for interviews and I’m wondering if pulling up in it would come off as larping professional, zesty, or just doing too much

nobody gives a fuck. bring whatever you want. i will say vast majority of interns i work with just have a backpack. what actually matters is your character and work ethic 

 

So long as its not a hard briefcase, there's lots of upside. Means serious business. Hard to take a grown ass man in a backpack serious. Crumpled suit, creased dress shirt... nahhh
