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.

Yesterday at the Mulberry Store in London, England, stars came out to set sight on the British fashion brand's latest accessory line, which consists of laptop bags, sleeves, mini messengers, and iPhone/iPod Touch cases. FabSugar UK admits that this is a good partnership between the two companies and I'd have to agree with her. This nine-piece collection will feature bags with Mulberry's signature icons like the Bayswater for women and the Brynmore for men.

The items are available now from selected Mulberry stores, or you can wait until Dec. 1 when they'll be available online from the Apple store.

GeekSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:50:51 -0700

Starting the beginning of December, the luxury English fashion line Mulberry will be debuting their new collection, which consists of nine pieces that are specifically designed for the MacBook and MacBook Pro. The collection also includes some mini cross-bags for the iPhone or iPod touch, with bags featuring Mulberry's signature icons like the Bayswater for women and the Brynmore for men.

The company's creative director, Emma Hill, had this to say about the collection:

"Mulberry have a legacy of craftsmanship and I'm thrilled to launch our first luxury collection for a whole host of Apple products including the MacBook, iPhone and iPod."

And just to jog your memory, Mulberry is the maker behind the drool-worthy $2000 laptop bag, so you can expect to pay anywhere between $250 and $1195 for these leather bags as well. Items can be found on Apple's website and Mulberry's website starting Dec. 1.

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.

Postage Sleeve For the MacBook Is Checkpoint Friendly? Wow

GeekSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 05:47:56 -0700

Shocker! I can barely get my laptop through airport security when it's sans a bag, so don't even get me started about attempting to try a checkpoint friendly bag! Two things instantly struck me about this vintage postage sleeve ($37) for a 13.3-inch MacBook - first of all, it's in a league of all compared to other laptop sleeves, and secondly, I can't even imagine TSA allowing this (with your laptop inside) through the security machine!

Certainly something you'd see in one of our unique laptop sleeves slideshows, this padded MacBook sleeve is made up of four separate sections that wrap around your laptop like a present for just the right fit. I don't know if I'd say it's a fashionable tech accessory, but if it does get you through the security checkpoint faster, then that makes its geekiness well worthwhile.

GeekSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:03:28 -0700

In case you missed it, all of New York's finest fashionistas descended upon last night's Fashion's Night Out. Although there was plenty of celebs to be seen, I wasn't counting on too much tech making appearances amidst all the handbags and stilettos. I was (sort of) wrong. Gwen Stefani showed off her latest fashion-forward L.A.M.B. pieces at her presentation - check out Pop's exclusive interview with her here - which included a trendy lemon and black laptop sleeve.

I should have known that Gwen would supply us with sweet-looking tech accessories, I mean, she does love her computer. Unfortunately, I don't have any details as to the price or when this sleeve will be available, but rest assured, you'll be the first to know when I do!

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.

Unforgettable Typewriter: Thomas Paul Luddite Laptop Sleeve

GeekSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:05:19 -0700

Remember when I told you how typewriter-motif laptop accessories were all the rage? Hate to say it, but I love to be right, and here's Thomas Paul's new Luddite Laptop Sleeve ($50).

I love the name - Luddite, for those who don't know, means a less than tech-savvy person, in a nutshell. Not that Thomas Paul is: he created one of the cutest note pad/mouse pads ever.

I seek out the chic, practical bags to carry my laptop around in, but there are some bags that have caught my eye for being so sexy, so edgy and offbeat, that I have to show them off. If you consider yourself an avant-garde fashionista, you won't be able to resist.
