First of all - amazing customer service! I want to genuinely thank Alex for going above and beyond what i expected. Amazon said the sleeve was going to be delivered in 4 days, i needed it in 3 so he agreed to my request to deliver in 3 days - and it actually arrived in 2 days!!
Second, the design. I've looked at several leather sleeves in the market and found them all bulky and heavy, so I was worried this would be heavy too, but as advertised it's truly ultra-light and doesn't add any significant weight when inside my bag. The stitching is well made, with just a couple of loose threads where the corners meet that i was worried it would fray later on due to wear, so i just sealed them with some thread glue to anticipate this, no biggie. The brown leather is gorgeous and works perfectly with my space grey MBA13, i'm so glad i picked this combo!
Lastly, and most importantly - the protection. I was worried the open top design would potentially leave the Macbook partially exposed to dings - but when fully inserted the laptop is completely covered with just enough lip protecting the open side. My favourite part is there's just enough "bumper" at the sleeve edges to protect your mac from drops, dings, and bumps without the sleeve feeling bigger than it should be.
Don't think twice about getting this product, yes you'll spend a bit more than the other sleeves online, but when you spend a lot of money for a brand new Macbook - you should at the very least invest in an equally premium sleeve that will not only compliment but will also protect your expensive laptop!
Thank you, Alex! :)
I was a moron my first time around and ordered the wrong sleeve for my wife's MacBook for Valentine's Day. After doing all I could to squeeze her Mac into the undersized sleeve, I contacted the number provided with the sleeve via text to see what had gone wrong. Within 5 minutes the problem had been identified (I needed to pay closer attention when ordering) and I was told a new sleeve would be made and shipped to me ASAP. Still a little shocked at how easy it was to get access to someone for customer service (I wish all customer service could be done with texts instead of phone banks) and how, even though I was the problem, they were willing to make a new one for me. Impressed!
Also, sleeve is very sharp looking and wife loved it.
This is a well-crafted, beautiful sleeve. I love the red leather detail inside the magnet closure! Strong and very snug. Excellent protection. And amazing customer service! I texted with a question and got a response within the hour. Real materials, made in the US, an actual person and artist behind it all. Treat yourself to something nice!
The Apple sleeve is very nice but this sleeve does the job at a better price. Tight fit for the first week but it does loosen up after a while for a perfect fit.
Great sleeve! Good service! Fit my XPS 13 perfectly.

My sincere thank you for making my crafts: GQ 100 BEST THINGS IN THE WORLD, 2018
I handcraft the PicasoLab's Ultra-Light Sleeve exclusively for Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro computers. I follow their same less is more design principles and share the same passion for perfect materials and manufacturing.
This is the Ultra-Light version of the Classic model that Gizmodo called their "all-time favorite laptop sleeve" and Steve Wozniak bought for his many laptops. But unlike, the four-piece all-leather design of our Classic Sleeve, I have replaced most of the leather with a light wool felt mix fabric. The sleeve also includes a removable magnetic latch mechanism to keep your MacBook in place.
It is so perfectly made that it comes with a lifetime warranty.
Each sleeve can be laser engraved with your name using Helvetica Neue Bold.
I make each sleeve specifically for each MacBook model. Please be accurate when placing your order. Each sleeve is crafted two millimeter smaller than it should be to give your Mac that custom suit look and feel.
For quickest respond, please send me a text to 408-357-9233. I look forward to making your sleeve. Alex
Each of my sleeves are made for a very specific Macbook size, and it requires several days of break-in period for the leather to form to your Mac, which means, it requires YOUR help to make this the perfect fitting sleeve for your Mac. Please double check your Macbook size and model year, Apple is currently selling multiple 13" MacBooks, the sleeve will only fit exactly to the size ordered. Please double check your Mac. Send me a message if you need me to confirm with model/size Mac you have. I appreciate your business and patience. Alex
Its really awesome!! Tysm!
