The Macbook Organiser is a leather folio that carries a 13 inch MacBook and
everything that usually rattles around loose next to it. Open it and the laptop, a
tablet, your phone, pens, the charging cable and your papers each have a place. It is made for
13 inch MacBooks only.
Full-Grain Leather MacBook Organiser Features
Two main compartments
Inside there are 2 main compartments. One holds the 13 inch MacBook, the other
takes a tablet or a book. Keeping them apart is the point: two screens in one slot rub against
each other every time the folio is picked up.
Pens and the cable, held down
A divided leather strap runs across the wing and holds your pens in place, and
next to it a separate strap closes with a brass snap around the charging cable.
The cable stops living in a knot at the bottom of a bag, which is the small daily annoyance this
folio actually solves.
3 carry pockets and a phone pocket
There are 3 carry pockets for papers, a notebook and cards, plus a dedicated
phone pocket. Walking into a meeting means picking up one object rather than
gathering five.
Solid brass snap
The folio closes with a stainless brass snap. It is the only visible hardware on
the piece, and it is the part that gets used several times a day, which is why it is brass rather
than plated steel.
Your name on it, if you want
Name embossing is free. You give the name when you place the order and it is
pressed into the leather rather than printed on top, so it darkens with the surface instead of
wearing off it. On a piece this size, that is what turns it from an accessory into someone's
folio.
MacBook Organiser Material and Build
The Macbook Organiser is made in a single brown. It is one of the largest single leather
surfaces in the range, so the grain of the hide reads more openly here than on any small piece:
two organisers side by side are visibly not the same. There is contrast stitching along every
edge and the compartments are stitched rather than glued.
Full-grain leather: the topmost, densest-fibered layer of the hide, its
surface never sanded or thinned. Over the years it darkens rather than wears out, and the small
scratches of daily use largely disappear when you rub them with a finger.

What Fits in the MacBook Organiser?
- MacBook: 13 inch, in its own main compartment
- Tablet or book: in the second main compartment
- Phone: in its own pocket
- Pens: under the divided strap
- Charging cable: coiled under the snap strap
- Papers, notebook and cards: across the 3 carry pockets
- 14 and 16 inch MacBook: does not fit
An honest limit: this folio was built around a 13 inch MacBook and nothing
larger. A 14 or 16 inch machine will not go into the main compartment; that size is what the
Macbook Case is for, and it is worth measuring before
ordering rather than after. The organiser is also not a bag: there is no strap
and no handle, so it is carried in your hand or set inside a larger bag. Loaded to capacity it
is a substantial object, which is the honest cost of replacing five separate accessories with one
piece of leather.
How to Pair the MacBook Organiser
-
Matching the rest: put the
Rublet iPhone Case in the phone pocket and the
Airpods Pro Case beside it, and the whole working
setup is one hide.
-
Meeting days: opened flat on a table, the folio sets out its own order,
so there is no separate pen case or document folder to bring.
-
The Semender pairing: on long days it goes inside a
Briefbag or a Hopebag.
MacBook Organiser Care
- The leather darkens and gains character over time. That is not a flaw, it is patina
- Wipe it with a dry cloth once a month and apply
leather balm a few times a year
- Do not force the snap shut when the folio is packed full. That is what tires a snap over
the years, not daily use
- If it gets wet, let it dry on its own at room temperature. Radiators and hair dryers
stiffen leather
Frequently Asked Questions
Which MacBook does it fit?
A 13 inch MacBook, and only that. The main compartment was cut to that size, so a 14 or 16 inch machine will not go in. For those, the Macbook Case is made in a 14 inch and a 16 inch version. Check your model before ordering.
What else can I carry in it?
A tablet or a book in the second main compartment, your phone in its own pocket, papers and a notebook across the 3 carry pockets, pens under the divided strap and the charging cable coiled under the snap strap. That is the whole point of it: one object instead of five.
Does it replace a bag?
For a short meeting, yes. For a full day, not quite: there is no strap and no handle, so it is carried in the hand. Most people use it as the organized core inside a larger bag, which is also where the leather stays cleanest.
How does it close?
With a stainless brass snap on the edge. Closed, nothing shifts inside. The one thing to avoid is forcing the snap when the folio is packed beyond what it holds, since that is what wears a snap out over the years.
What is the difference between this and the Macbook Case?
Size and ambition. The Macbook Case is a sleeve for a 14 or 16 inch MacBook with 2 card slots and a back pocket. The Organiser is a folio for a 13 inch MacBook that also carries a tablet, a phone, pens, a cable and papers. One protects a laptop, the other carries a working setup.
Can I have a name embossed on it?
Yes, and it is free. You give the name when you place the order and it is pressed into the leather rather than printed on top, so it ages with the surface. Note that a personalized piece cannot be returned for a change of mind.
Does it work as a gift?
It is the piece people buy for a promotion, a new job or a graduation, because it is the kind of object someone would not buy for themselves. With a name pressed into the leather it stops being a generic desk accessory. The one thing to confirm first is that they use a 13 inch MacBook, since the folio is built to that size.
Five accessories, or one piece of leather that keeps them all in order.
