Cowhide11 and 13-inch MacBook Air5 colors
RICHY is an envelope-style cowhide leather sleeve, tailored for the 11 or 13-inch MacBook Air. Its design is extremely understated: a flat body, a flap that covers the opening across the entire width, and tone-on-tone stitching that highlights the contours. What sets it apart is its lustrous leather finish, with marbling and highlights that change depending on the light, much like wax-finished workshop leather. Slim and lightweight, it fits the computer like a glove without adding bulk, and slides easily into a tote, backpack, or carry-on suitcase. It can also be carried in the hand like a portfolio. It comes in five bold colors: a deep chocolate brown, a café with khaki undertones, a teal green, a raspberry pink, and a pale powder pink. The perfect way to protect your computer from daily scratches while showcasing your true personality.

The material
A lustrous cowhide leather
RICHY is crafted from cowhide leather, a material renowned for its durability and structure. Its lustrous, slightly waxed finish reveals marbling and lighter areas when the skin is bent: this is the desired effect, which makes each sleeve slightly different.
The edges are joined by visible stitching, which reinforces the structure while providing a neat finish. The shiny surface is pleasant to the touch and easily cleaned with a dry cloth.

A sleeve that embraces color
Laptop sleeves are often gray or black. RICHY takes a different approach with a bold palette: a deep teal, two very distinct pinks, alongside two classic browns. Your computer becomes a fashion accessory in its own right.
The shape remains very restrained: no zip, no outer pocket, just a flap and some stitching. The lustrous leather, with its marbled reflections, does all the talking.

2
Slide the closed computer into the sleeve, hinge side toward the bottom.
3
Fold the flap over the front to cover the opening completely.
4
Store the sleeve in your bag or carry it in your hand, like a briefcase.

Frequently asked questions
Which size should I choose?
RICHY comes in two sizes: 11-inch MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Air. To find yours, open the "About This Mac" menu: the model and screen size are listed there. These two formats correspond to the classic generations of the MacBook Air. If you have a more recent model whose screen and dimensions may have changed, measure the length, width, and thickness of your computer and contact us before ordering: we will confirm if the sleeve is suitable.
What material is the sleeve made of?
The RICHY sleeve is made of cowhide leather with a lustrous finish. This treatment gives it shiny reflections and lighter marbling where the skin bends, an effect characteristic of waxed leathers. The edges are joined by visible stitching that reinforces the structure and adds a refined finish. Cowhide is prized in leather goods for its strength and durability. Variations in color from piece to piece are natural and make each sleeve unique.
How does the sleeve close?
RICHY uses an envelope design: a flap, sewn onto the back, folds over the front of the sleeve and covers the entire opening. This flap is sufficient to keep the computer inside during travel and protects it from dust. There is no zip or visible metal part that could scratch the computer. This minimalist construction contributes to the sleeve's slimness, adding very little bulk and sliding easily into a bag, briefcase, or carry-on.
Does the sleeve protect against shocks?
RICHY mainly protects against scratches, dust, and friction, for example when the computer travels in a bag with keys or documents. The cowhide forms a resistant shell around the device. However, it does not include foam padding: it is not designed to absorb a fall. For high-risk journeys, place it in a bag or dedicated compartment. This way, you enjoy its slimness and elegance while adding extra protection.
Which color should I choose?
It all depends on your style. Brown, a very deep chocolate, is the most classic and is perfect for professional use. Café, with its khaki undertones, highlights the natural look of the leather. The teal green is an elegant and original choice. Raspberry pink shows real cheerfulness, while pale pink leans towards softness and delicacy. All colors share the same lustrous leather and visible stitching, and exist in both 11 and 13-inch sizes.
How do I maintain lustrous leather?
Regularly wipe the sleeve with a soft, dry cloth using circular motions to remove dust and revive the luster. Once or twice a year, you can apply a colorless cream for smooth leather in a very thin layer. Avoid water, cleaning products, and prolonged exposure to the sun, which can dull and dry out the leather. For light shades, such as pale pink, be wary of new textiles that may transfer color. Slight signs of wear are part of the leather's patina.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes, RICHY makes a very lovely gift, useful every day and easy to personalize by choosing the color. It will please a student, a recent graduate entering the workforce, or a loved one who often travels for work. Just remember to discreetly check their computer size: 11 or 13 inches. For a more complete gift, pair it with an office accessory or a piece of leather goods from our shop in a coordinating shade.
