Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Which tablets does this 12-inch sleeve fit? A: With exterior measurements of approximately 29 × 20 × 1 cm, it suits tablets up to around 28.5 × 19.5 × 0.8 cm. Many 11–12.4 inch models fit when used bare or with a slim shell. Larger 12.9-inch tablets are typically wider than 20 cm and may not fit. Please measure your device (and any cover) to be sure.
Q: Will an iPad Pro 12.9 fit inside? A: The iPad Pro 12.9 is about 28.1 × 21.5 cm, so its width generally exceeds the sleeve’s shorter side (20 cm). It is likely too wide, especially once a case or keyboard is attached.
Q: Can I use this with a keyboard folio or Magic Keyboard? A: The sleeve is slim and best for a tablet used bare or with a very thin cover. Keyboard folios often add both thickness and width; if your setup exceeds roughly 19.5 cm in width or about 0.8 cm in thickness, the fit will be tight or not possible.
Q: Does it protect against drops and rain? A: It offers elegant surface protection against scratches and light bumps, but it is not a rigid or drop-proof case and is not waterproof. Keep leather away from water, heat and prolonged intense light; if it gets wet, blot gently with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow it to dry naturally.
Q: What is Evercolor leather like? A: Evercolor is a fine-grained, pressed calfskin known for a soft hand, vibrant colours and a refined, even grain. It holds its shape well and tends to resist light, superficial marks better than very smooth leathers, though care is still recommended to avoid abrasion.
Q: How should I care for this leather sleeve? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth only; avoid oils, solvents and commercial cleaners. Protect from water and prolonged sunlight or heat to preserve colour. When storing, keep it in its dust bag or box in a temperate, dry place, zip closed, and lightly stuff with tissue to maintain shape. Avoid anti-humidity sachets and avoid repeated rubbing against raw or dark textiles on lighter leathers to minimise colour transfer onto the leather.
Q: Will A4 documents fit? A: A4 paper measures 21 × 29.7 cm. Because the sleeve’s shorter side is about 20 cm, full A4 sheets will not fit flat inside when zipped.
Q: Is the canvas lining safe for my screen? A: The interior is a soft herringbone canvas designed for everyday use. As with any sleeve, fine grit or sand can scratch a screen, so keep the lining clean and consider using a screen protector if you frequently slide the device in and out.
Q: What compartments and accessories are included? A: This is a single-compartment, zip-around sleeve without a strap. For this specific item, the included accessories are a box and dust bag; anything included is listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: What does the stamp “no shape D (2019)” mean? A: Hermès uses discreet year stamps. A letter D with no surrounding shape is consistent with 2019 production. Stamp style and placement vary by model and era; our experts authenticate every piece using multiple criteria beyond the year stamp.
