Envelope MacBook Sleeve

I’ve been looking for a basic (but not unattractive) laptop cover to protect my MacBook Pro, but everything that I’ve found has a bulky, clunky design. I finally found exactly what I’ve been looking for in this envelope laptop sleeve by designer Christiane Hoegner.

The envelope has lightweight shock-absorbing high-density foam packaged in colorful fabric. Simple, elegant and the right size for my MacBook and my bag.

I’ve seen a lot of really beautiful etchings on MacBook Pros throughout the years, but have never been able to to commit to getting one done for my own MacBook. I found the perfect solution in these lovely laptop decals by Michelle Christina. The Venus Flytrap Decal is my favorite. AND they would be a perfect stocking stuffer (yes Santa, I am talking to you).
