The thinnest way to carry a MacBook without carrying a bag.

Pavia is an envelope, not a case. One folded piece of cowhide, stitched down two sides, open at the top — the laptop slides in and the leather closes around it by tension alone. No zip, no flap, no magnet. It adds millimetres to the bag, not centimetres.

Two finishes, and they age in opposite directions. Cognac is brushed to a matte, suede-like surface that lightens where your hand always lands. Espresso is polished and deep, and darkens instead. Named for Pavia, whose university has been sending people out the door with something to carry since 1361.

Why you will love it

• Slim envelope — one fold of hide, stitched twice, nothing else
• Two finishes that age apart — cognac lightens, espresso deepens
• No zip, no magnet, no flap — nothing hard near the aluminium
• 13 and 14-inch — MacBook Air and Pro, plus 13 to 14-inch Dell, HP and XPS
• Slides in one-handed — the leather grips, so it does not need a closure
• Named for Pavia — university town since 1361
