custom made leather laptop sleeve

Isabell Wambui Mathenge
This custom made leather laptop sleeve has been realized by myself, Isabell Wambui Mathenge, in Kenya for Sven from Düsseldorf (Deutschland). It started with the idea from Sven. This page shows our journey from the idea to the final custom made item and the price of the item.

Request quote

The idea from Sven from Düsseldorf:

Hello – Habari Yako!
I would like a simple leather laptop sleeve for a laptop measuring 38cm x 26cm x 4cm
There is also an outside pocket in which smaller items such as a ballpoint pen and headphone cord can be stored.
Inside material is left to the craftsman, what works best – only the outside should be leather. The part for the laptop must be padded.
Carrying handles to carry in the hand and shoulder strap.
Optically: Leather in brown/earth tones discreetly designed with savannah motif (siluettes of acacias and possibly elephants / zebras). Not too intrusive. Not too colourful.
Because of my attachment to the country, I would prefer to produce in Kenya.
My asking price is very vague. Please make a suitable offer in any case.

Hallo Sven,
My name is Isabel and I am happy to gibe you an offer.

I have read through your ideas and I am confident i can be able to actualize.
I have attached different designs you can have a look and let me know which one you like.
On the colour my choice would have been the Mocca pullup full grain the darker shade attached. However you can also choose between Tan and the other colours attached.

Noded also on the Savanna motif idea. For this I would propose an embossed pattern rather than painted. This will make it discrete and will look very nice on the leather.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Regards
Isabel

Hello Isabel,

apologies for the late reply – I didn't see the email earlier, because it was hidden in my junk-folder. Sorry about that 🙁

Thank you very much for your ideas. I like the design on the 3rd picture best – also with the light colour.
I also like your idea for the Savannah motive. Please go ahead accordingly.

Hi Sven
Trust you are fine.

I have procured the light Tan leather for the bag and am about to start stitching it. I am also working on the Savanna Motif I will send the artwork for your approval before I proceed.
Please confirm that this is the right colour and the bag design.
