about
Zipsleeve is the online store for eco-friendly handmade pocketgrey laptop sleeves.
ZipSleeve in the UK
ZipSleeve is a small home run business created by me, Rob Jones in late 2009. For a good few years I've been looking for an opportunity to start an operation that genuinely gives back to the community, specifically in developing countries. After discovering the eco-friendly handmade pocketgrey laptop sleeves designed by questionwhy I created ZipSleeve to bring to market something more elegant and fun than the usual cheap black neoprene sleeves.
Obviously with these laptop sleeves being handmade overseas availability is limited. Demand though is great news for the producer groups in Nepal who benefit from continued business, further employment and growth!
ZipSleeve operates from: Cedar House, Glade Road, Marlow, SL7 1DQ, UK.

eco-friendly handmade pocketgrey laptop sleeves
In a world where cheap black neoprene sleeves are widespread, these stand out as being multifunctional, tactile, colourful, natural, fun, cleverly packaged and ethical.
Standalone or inside a bag, the 100% soft wool handmade laptop sleeve opens out a contrast colour workstation complete with mouse mat area and writing space.
- Made from 100% natural wool
- No added chemicals
- Hand rolled & hand stitched
It’s an eco-friendly and low-energy protective laptop sleeve made by Friends Handicraft, a small producer group of Manushi, a WFTO member (Fair Trade) in Nepal.
The packaging is also hand made from the Lokta shrub, growing wild at the foothills of the Himalayas, dried in the sun and screen printed by hand. It's produced by Get Paper, also a WFTO member (Fair Trade) in Nepal.
