from 11 reviewsLa qualitée exceptionnelle de frabrication et sa conception minimaliste fait en sorte qu'il m'accompagne sur une base journalière mon porte-feuille depuis maintenant plus de 5 mois. Malgré le fait que je lui ai fais un traitement parfois plus difficile, aucune détérioration n'est apparue.
Une quailité hors du commun!
Merci!!!
Brilliantly made with amazing attention to detail that only hand crafted items can have.
If you're a minimalist who values quality this is the wallet for you.
Brilliantly made with amazing attention to detail that only hand crafted items can have.
I bought my MacBook Air 13 with the intention of taking it with me everywhere I go. As a writer, I get my inspiration from writing in coffee shops and parks etc., so protecting my MacBook is extremely important. After an exhaustive search online I came across Nilesh Ladd’s design. What originally piqued my interest was the beautiful combination of wool felt and leather, these two together give the sleeve a rich look. Having something handmade by a small business owner who has a passion for what he does got me excited to see this sleeve in person. Upon opening the package, the care and attention that went into wrapping and displaying the item was apparent. Within the package was a postcard of Nilesh Ladd and his family expressing their gratitude, this was something I was very touched by. The sleeve itself is of great quality, the wool felt is soft and the smell of the leather hit me as soon as I opened the box. I have taken this sleeve to 3 coffee shops and a restaurant so far and each time I have been asked where I bought it. The sleeve is beautifully stitched, very durable and extremely stylish. Bonus points for allowing my MacBook to be charged while still in the sleeve, nice touch! I have something I am confident will protect my device and will last forever. In my opinion, you wouldn’t be disappointed in purchasing anything from Nilesh Ladd!
Blew me away with just the packaging, never expected my sleeve to be packaged and presented with such detailed thought. Can tell straight away that this sleeve was made with care and skill, all the material is definitely of high quality and my MacBook Air fits perfectly into the sleeve, I just love it!
I've had many wallets in my time, ranging from those random cheap hide wallets found in a market in thailand to designer branded ones which I have either received as gifts or purchased as a treat to myself.
A No.13 Wallet from Nilesh Ladd however is a very different experience and product to live with.
From the moment you unwrap the packaging, its immediately apparent the care and attention to detail that has gone into every element from the packaging design to the meticulous craftsmanship utilized to create such a beautiful hand made product,
The grade of materials really are next level, the leather it self is unlike anything you've probably seen before. For me though, the finishing is just exceptional as is the stitching, it's just a different experience knowing this has been put together by a specialist craftsman who clearly loves his trade and the best thing is that it just gets better with age as the leather matures. Bravo!
I've had this case for a few years now and it's followed me on a ton of business trips, to the office, and at home. It's held up so beautifully, and the leather has gotten even smoother over time. The felt is as sturdy as it was on day one, and I routinely have colleagues ask about it. Stellar craftsmanship and design!
I would like to start saying thank you for making such an amazing sleeve, it's not just very practical in use, it also looks amazing over a longer period of time. I am not the most careful user and just use it as it's intended, usually that means I have to replace sleeves and covers regularly, but this one is made from amazing natural quality products and lasts seemingly for ever. The slim and compact design is not just great looking also very practical for every day use. The logo on the front and the serial number on the back are a nice touch for me as I love little details like that, really makes you feel you have an exceptional and one of a kind product.
I also love the fact it's an all natural product, nothing plastic or fake. And therefore a lot better for the environment in my opinion.
This is now my "go-to" sleeve and I will buy it for all other devices as well.
From the moment I unwrapped my wallet, I could see the personal touches and attention to detail that I have only seen in other luxury brands. The wallet is beautifully crafted, love the stitch work and polished interior, which I have never seen before. I was shocked to see that it could hold so many cards and yet I could barely feel the wallet in my pocket. If you are like me and really appreciate unique luxury leather goods, then I highly recommend this wallet.
I was in the market for a cover for my iPad (with magic keyboard) for a while after noticing how i would sometimes need to remove it from my backpack at airports, or having to dig around for a real pencil in my bag, when I came across this case. I was not sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised when I received the package.
I am not a person who videos unboxing of things as usually there's not much to remember. This one however, I wish I had. The case comes in a beautiful box, and when you open it, the case is wrapped in paper and tied with a bow that has a wax seal. I have only seen that on like super high end things (Cartier, etc) so I was a bit taken aback and very happy.
When it was finally unwrapped, the smell of the leather and the wool was SOOOOO enticing I just wanted to freeze it...very much like the new car smell.
The product itself is so nice, you can feel the love (for lack of a better word) that was put into it. The attention to detail, the craftsmanship, and the look are all worth the price. I am actually considering buying another one for a coworker of mine as a present.
I am super happy with the work, and I look forward to buying more products from this brand when they become available (unless its for Samsung, since I am an Apple guy!!).
Very well made, protects my iPad perfectly and it's very stylish. I recommend it especially for those who travel a lot!
