- 1 cowhide leather zip sleeve for 8-inch tablet
All you need to know
✦ Free laser engraving Genuine leather The Voyageur LIVRET slip-in sleeve distills the tablet case to its purest form: an envelope of vintage-effect cowhide leather (crazy horse style), with no flap, zip or magnet. Slip your tablet inside as you would tuck a notebook into an inner pocket, then take it out in one smooth motion. Designed for the iPad mini and 8-inch tablets, it comes in two configurations: vertical opening, along the short side, or horizontal opening, along the long side. Precision stitching traces a clean outline, while a smooth inner lining protects the screen every time you slide the tablet in. At approximately 21.5 × 15.5 × 1 cm and weighing just 90 g, the sleeve adds elegant protection without weighing down your bag or adding bulk to your device. Its deep, nuanced vintage brown develops a patina over the months. Like every piece in the Voyageur Collection, it can be personalized: the first laser engraving is free.
The two opening styles
Available in one color: vintage brown. Whichever opening you choose, the sleeve measures approximately 21.5 × 15.5 × 1 cm and fits all the tablets listed in the compatibility chart below.

Vintage-effect cowhide leather that develops a patina
So-called crazy horse leather is cowhide leather treated with oils and waxes, then worked on the surface to create a nuanced, vintage look. Its distinctive quality becomes apparent with use: when pressed by a finger or bent, the oils shift and the color lightens in places, creating changing highlights. Over time, these marks blend into a patina unique to each piece—and therefore to each owner.
This leather has a particular advantage for a slip-in sleeve: it remains supple while retaining its shape, allowing the envelope to fit snugly around the tablet without squeezing it. Small everyday scuffs often fade with a simple rub of the palm, and the item gains character rather than showing wear. Inside, the smooth lining acts as a barrier between the leather and the glass screen.
Why you'll love it
A leather notebook for the digital age
Once, travelers slipped their journals into leather covers that developed a patina as the pages filled with notes. The Voyageur LIVRET brings that gesture to the object that has replaced the notebook: the compact tablet, a companion for reading, note-taking and maps.
Its design leaves out the frills. No snap-on flap, no fastener to fuss with: just a simple, neatly cut envelope, with stitching that accentuates its shape. The tablet fits securely without being held too tightly, and the vintage-brown leather gives it the look of an object that has already traveled far.
This is the sleeve for those who use their tablet without a case and take it out often: on the train, at a café or in a meeting. Slip it out, read, put it away. And with every trip, the leather keeps the memory of the journey.
Laser engraving: first engraving free
Like every piece in the Voyageur Collection, the LIVRET sleeve can be personalized with laser engraving, and the first engraving is free. Initials, a name, the date of a special event or a short motto: the laser marks the leather precisely and makes the item unmistakably yours. Explore all our personalized products to create a matching set.
One first engraving is free. To add more—engraving a logo (company, club, event) or an additional text area—select the desired option in the “Engraving options” box, just below the add-to-cart button.

Good to know: the LIVRET sleeve is designed for a bare tablet or one fitted with a screen protector. A bulky case or attached keyboard may prevent you from inserting the tablet. The tablet is not included. Discover the other leather goods in the range in our leather goods collection.
Tip: to care for crazy horse leather, simply rub small marks with the palm of your hand: the warmth helps the oils migrate and fade the marks. Once or twice a year, apply a thin layer of clear nourishing balm to restore the depth of the color. Avoid excess water and direct heat.

Precautions: the sleeve protects against scratches and minor everyday knocks, but it is not designed to cushion a significant fall or protect against rain: do not consider it waterproof. Check compatibility in the chart above before ordering, as the dimensions are tailored. As leather is a natural material, the color may vary slightly from one piece to another. Keep the sleeve away from direct heat.

With its free engraving, the Voyageur LIVRET sleeve makes a refined personalized gift for an avid reader, student, frequent traveler or professional who takes notes on a tablet: a birthday, Father's Day, graduation or retirement. It pairs beautifully with accessories from our office and tech collection.
As a corporate gift, it makes an elegant accompaniment to a tablet presented to an employee or client, engraved with your logo using the “Add my logo” option on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Is laser engraving really free?
Yes. Like all pieces in the Voyageur Collection, the LIVRET sleeve comes with one free laser engraving. You can add initials, a name, a special date or a short motto. The laser marks the leather precisely, and the engraving becomes an integral part of the item: it develops a patina along with the rest of the sleeve. This is what turns a beautiful accessory into a one-of-a-kind piece, making it especially popular as a gift. If you are unsure about the wording or layout, our team will be happy to advise you before production.
How do I add a logo or an additional engraving?
The first engraving is free. To add more, go to the “Engraving options” box just below the add-to-cart button and select the option you want: “Add my logo” (€14.90 per item) to engrave a company, club or event logo, or “Add an additional text area” (€5.90 per item) for a second text. The option is automatically added to your cart, once per item ordered. For a logo, we will ask you to email us the file after you place your order. For a crisp result, we recommend a vector file or high-resolution image that is simple and has good contrast. An ideal choice for corporate gifts.
What is the difference between the vertical and horizontal openings?
Both versions use the same leather and lining and have the same dimensions; only the sleeve opening differs. With the vertical opening, the tablet slides in through the short side, like a document in a sleeve. It is ideal if you store it upright in a backpack or tote, as the opening stays at the top and the tablet cannot slide out. With the horizontal opening, it slides in through the long side, like a document into a folder. This is the natural choice if you carry it flat in a briefcase or document holder, or often take it out in landscape orientation.
Is my tablet compatible?
The sleeve is compatible with the iPad mini 6 (8.3"), iPad mini 4 / 5 and iPad mini 1 / 2 / 3, as well as several 8-inch tablets: Galaxy Tab A 8.4", Galaxy Tab S2 / Tab A 8", Lenovo Tab M8, Huawei MatePad T8, Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9", Fire HD 8 and Asus ZenPad Z8s. These model names are provided solely as a guide to dimensional compatibility. If your device is not listed in the compatibility chart above, compare its dimensions with the sleeve's, approximately 21.5 × 15.5 × 1 cm. If you are unsure, our team can help you choose.
Can I slide my tablet in with its case on?
The LIVRET sleeve is tailored for a bare tablet or one protected by a screen protector only. This is what allows it to stay so slim and hold the device without a fastener: the tablet is kept in place by the precise fit. A bulky case, reinforced protection or attached keyboard adds bulk and may prevent the tablet from fitting or put excessive strain on the leather. The fit may feel a little snug during the first few days; this is normal, as the leather will relax slightly with use and the tablet will slide more smoothly. Never force it against the seams.
How do I care for crazy horse leather?
This cowhide leather, treated with oils and waxes, requires little care. Small marks and scuffs generally fade with a simple rub of the palm: the warmth of your hand helps the oils migrate and evens out the surface. Once or twice a year, apply a thin layer of clear nourishing balm with a soft cloth, let it absorb, then buff. Avoid household cleaners, excess water and direct heat sources such as radiators. If the sleeve gets wet, leave it to dry naturally, laid flat. Over time, the color deepens and takes on new nuances: this is the patina, a sign of living leather.
Is the tablet included with the case?
No. The Voyageur LIVRET case is sold separately: the tablet shown in the photos is for illustrative purposes only, to show the size and how it is used, and is not included. You will receive the envelope in distressed-effect cowhide leather with a smooth inner lining, in the opening style you have chosen. Laser engraving can be added to the case upon request, with the first engraving free of charge. To complete your mobile setup, discover our other leather goods and matching desk accessories.
