If the only protection for your hapless laptop is wishful thinking (or worse, a tote with no padding), this one’s for you. Many of the sleeves out there are either basic and boring—or pretty but useless. So we looked for sleeves that both look good and actually protect your device. Think quilted nylon, pebble-grain faux leather, ikat, embroidered detailing, and even one that unfolds into a clever little stand for work-on-the-go types. They slip easily into your bag or work just as well on their own—depending on how you move (or how late you’re running).

The minimal quilted design feels stylish rather than dull, and the water-resistant finish keeps your device safe from spills and sudden drizzles. There’s a zip pocket in front for your charger or other small essentials, and it comes in a neutral tone that works at the office desk and the coffee shop. Also available in a 16-inch size. |

STYLE 02 Ace Cordura Laptop Sleeve 13"-14"Sleek, functional, and cool — this is a team favourite. The Postbox’s Ace Laptop Sleeve is made from tough Cordura fabric, giving it that mix of utility and good looks you rarely find in tech gear. It’s leather-free, water-resistant, and lightly padded on both sides to keep your laptop snug and safe. We especially like the forest green colour with tan webbing that gives it a polished outdoorsy edge, while the back carry strap makes it easy to grab and go. There’s even a D-ring for your AirPods or keys. |

The colour options—earthy orange, lime green and rich brown—elevate it from an everyday sleeve to arm candy. Also available in 16 inches. |

STYLE 06 Leather and Ikat Laptop Sleeve 13"Tan and Loom beautifully brings together handwoven ikat and fine leather. We really like the combo of the homey handloom weave with smooth leather trims. Inside, there’s room for a notepad, some cards, maybe a few loose bills, along with your laptop—and it shuts with a neat magnetic closure. Each piece is slightly different, thanks to the fabric’s artisanal character, which only adds to the charm. |
