Naturally, you are careful with a new Apple device. The last thing you want is scratches or other damage on your new device. There are many different manufacturers of accessories for Apple products of varying quality. If you want more exclusive accessories, you can go to Harber London.
Harber London supplies accessories made of leather and microfiber, all of which have an exclusive look. In recent weeks we have tested the Slim Leather MacBook Sleeve Case for the MacBook Air 13-inch (M2).
Slim Leather MacBook Sleeve Case
We previously reviewed the Slim Microfiber sleeve from Harber London on appletips. If you want a more exclusive look, you can opt for this ‘Slim leather’ version.
The sleeve is available for the entire MacBook line (12 to 16-inch MacBooks). We chose the sleeve that is specially designed for the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2 version). The sleeve has a hefty retail price of € 101.95, but read on anyway…
Fitted design
The Harber London sleeve has a slim design, so the MacBook fits like a glove in the sleeve. Due to the slim and sleek design, the sleeve takes up very little extra space. This makes the sleeve ideal for MacBook users who are often on the road. Unfortunately, the sleeve does not contain any extra compartments for storing cables and the like, so you have to put them separately in the bag.
Premium leather
Both the front and back of the sleeve are made of full grain leather. This gives the sleeve a premium look on the outside. Full grain leather is the highest quality leather made from the top layer of animal skin. It preserves the natural grain, texture and characteristics of animal skin, such as scars and color variations.
Full Grain Leather is extremely durable, long lasting and develops a beautiful aging process over time. If you prefer an animal-friendly sleeve from Harber London, the microfiber sleeve is an excellent alternative.
Protected against scratches
The inside of the sleeve is provided with 100% felt, made from sheep’s wool, which makes the inside feel very soft. The inside protects your MacBook against scratches, is anti-static, moisture-resistant, fire-resistant and naturally repels dirt. In addition, sheep’s wool felt has the property that the edges do not fray, which keeps the sleeve beautiful.
High-quality colours
Usually the colors of leather are limited, but Harber London has provided the Slim Leather MacBook Sleeve Case with high-quality colors. You can choose from four different ones; namely Tan, Black, Navy and Deep Brown. As you can see, the dark blue navy color matches the starlight MacBook Air perfectly.
The sleeve in practice
We have used the sleeve intensively recently. The sleeve retains its shape well. Thanks to the soft interior, you can easily slide the MacBook into the sleeve and take it out again. Because the stitching on the sides does not extend all the way, you have room to grab the MacBook and remove it from the sleeve.
The sleeve has a particularly luxurious appearance. The Harber London logo is visible on the front. Optionally it is possible to have a text applied to the sleeve. The text can be added at any position. You can choose from different fonts. The additional costs for personalization are €8.95.
Conclusion: Harber London MacBook Sleeve case

Purchase Harber London Slim Leather MacBook Sleeve Case
The sleeve has a hefty price of €101.95 without personalization options. If you want to use this, you pay €8.95 extra. The MacBook sleeve from Harber is certainly not the cheapest sleeve on the market. You do get a sustainable product made from premium materials and very beautifully finished.
