Bay Area based Acme Made has done it again! The laptop, camera and lunch case company has designed a MacBook sleeve, the Lombard Sleeve, which not only protects your MacBook from the world, it looks fabulous and on-trend for 2011.

The Lombard Sleeve has a pretty antic design which is soft white and black with purple interior. This makes the Lombard Sleeve easy to wear with spring 2011’s bright and bold colors as well as the all-white trend. Since the fall 2011 runways are close to being over, we also know that colors, especially red, are not going anywhere.

Another trend from the fall runways is wearing black and white in the form of large color blocks, or wearing a black top with white bottoms; or vice-versa. The Lombard Sleeve will easily compliment an outfit that is black and white for fall as well as full of color, without clashing.

Most sleeves need to be tucked into a tote or held like a large clutch. The Lombard Sleeve by Acme Made comes with a handy shoulder strap that is detachable, allowing the sleeve to be worn as a laptop case or slipped inside a larger tote. The Lombard Sleeve is made for the MacBook Pro in either 13” or 15” sizes.

Acme Made for Tech-Savvy Fashionistas

October 27, 2010 in General Fashion / Handbags tagged acme made / laptop cases / tech gear by Bay Area Fashionista

One of the biggest challenges Fashionistas face is trying to find a fabulous carrying case for technical gear. Here in the Bay Area, home to tech heavy Silicon Valley, we face this challenge anytime a new technical gadget comes out. We try out all of the cases and totes in our closet until resigning ourselves to the fact that as technology advances, our devices shrink; therefore we need new cases! Although some designers have created fashionable cases for technical devices, many of the cases are pretty to look at, but do not properly protect sensitive technical gear such as iPad’s, laptops and cameras.

Another challenge Fashionistas face when choosing a technical device case, is finding one that is both fabulous and functional. Many times techie gear is fashionable, but does not properly protect our technical gear. Other times, the cases that protect our gear are. . .well. . .anything but fabulous. Thankfully a local company by the name of Acme Made, based in San Francisco, was founded in 2002 to create fashion-forward technical gear which is not only fabulous but actually protects laptops, cameras, video, iPad’s and other digital devices. They even create lunch boxes that look like trendy box handbags! Love it!

Acme Made laptop cases are made to look like totes and feature high-end touches normally only found on designer handbags and upscale brand bags such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Coach. Acme Made provides luxurious touches such as no-slip material under the shoulder straps and metal feet underneath the bag. The interior of Acme Made laptop cases includes pen holders, zipper pockets, roomy middle and a velcro flap closure for the laptop itself. Some of Acme Made’s laptop cases even come with a matching clutch such as “The Kate.” The matching clutch is perfect if the laptop tote is used for work since the clutch can be used during lunch hour and after work for going out on the town. Perfect for traveling too! Acme Made can be found at Fred Segal, Sony Style and acmemade.com.
