A Laptop Sleeve Adorned in the Spring '10 Marc Jacobs Print

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:50:03 -0800

Marc Jacobs is a brand that exudes style, sophistication, and it even offers some gorgeous gadget accessories to add to our ever-growing collection.

Fashionistas beware. According to Nylon the latest Marc by Marc Jacobs laptop sleeve features the same pink leopard print from his 2010 Spring Line. . . just in case you are a big clothing-accessory matcher!

And best of all, you can actually get something that has a Marc Jacobs label for less than $100 - this will cost you $68. Keep in mind that the width measures 14-inches, so I'd make sure your lappy is 13-inches or less before you go ga-ga over it.

Patent Leather Laptop Sleeve: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 03:35:08 -0800

This Abby Patent laptop sleeve by Lauren Merkin (a cool emerging designer) reminds me a lot of the oversized clutch trend - the foldover closure makes it look like it's holding your going-out essentials instead of your laptop.

Usually I buy sleeves to put inside a bag, but this one could be comfortable carried on its own. But I worry that the scalloped edge and black patent would get old fast.

It's also available in a metallic version and is $150, down from $225. So what's the verdict?

Mexican Oilcloth Laptop Sleeve Marries Pretty to Practical

GeekSugar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:37:19 -0800

The online boutique LAMA specializes in Latin American-tinged art and accessories, and they didn't forget gadget accessories when putting their collection together.

This Laptop Sleeve is made from Mexican oilcloth ($28 for the 15-inch sleeve, $32 for the 17-inch), which crafty people know is both water-resistant and super easy to keep clean - just wipe off (good for klutzes such as myself).

And they took as much care with the padded inside too, so either way, your laptop's totally taken care of.

My Favorite Laptop Sleeve For Fall

GeekSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:15:07 -0700

The moment I saw this gorgeous laptop sleeve on Coolhunting, I fell in love. Made by Byrd & Belle out of soft but sturdy felted merino wool and eco-friendly hand-dyed leather, the sleeve fits both 13- and 15-inch laptops. At $72, it's pricier than many laptop sleeves, but its clean lines, chic design, and cozy texture make it one of my Fall must haves.

Joyrich Laptop Sleeves Have Just Enough Edge

GeekSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:06:37 -0700

Laptop sleeves are inexpensive enough that you can go ahead and get a new one and not break the bank. Since they usually go inside another bag, you can get a more fun design than you'd normally pick.

Joyrich has a couple of edgy printed sleeves that I'm loving for Fall. The Numero Sleeve ($45) has a cool, typeset-style pattern and fits up to a 17-inch laptop. I also like their Ching a Ling Sleeve ($50), which is a little more street but rad-looking just the same.

Rebecca Minkoff Ibiza MAB Laptop Bag: Oh, Behave

GeekSugar — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:40:15 -0700

Look, Rebecca Minkoff, do you have a crush on me or something? It's just that you keep designing laptop bags and sleeves that I routinely become obsessed with, and it's like you heard my cries for more chic laptop bags for those of us gals who are constantly toting our computers around. What's the deal?

So I actually spotted this bag while I was shopping this weekend at a shoe store - I saw it on the shelf and, eyes wide as saucers, pulled it down, mouth agape like some creepy weirdo. The salesgirl understood. It's the Ibiza MAB Laptop Bag (part of the Morning After Bag collection.

The all-leather exterior in lapis is dreamy - literally, this bag would only be mine in my dreams. It's $455 on sale, so you know what means: look, don't touch!
