Cool Hunting
Made from high-grade neoprene and free of zippers or any other unnecessary bulk, Côte et Ciel's laptop sleeves are our new favorites for toting computers. Engineered to fit Macs, the ingeniously simple construction uses the stretchiness of neoprene for a snug fit that, with the aid of small pull tabs, allows the laptop to slide in and out of a narrow opening at one end. It's a design that prevents computers from accidentally slipping out (yes, we've had this happen) and makes for a impressively slim profile allowing for easy stowage.
Inspired by nature, the bags come in a range of six colors including Saffron Yellow, Grape Green and Ocean Blue (all pictured). We recommend one of the darker colors (rather than a shade like Sandstone) as the neoprene is almost the opposite of stain-resistant. Pick one up from Côte et Ciel's online store starting at €30.

by Christene Barberich and Piera Gelardi Every six months it seems, our laptops get sleeker, smarter and faster. But along the way, the cases that conceal and carry them haven't quite kept the same standards. But there's hope on the horizon—and it's a whole lot better looking than that sad messenger bag hiding under your desk. After a hearty search, we found a range...
