Many [laptop protectors on the market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portland-gear-laptop-sleeve) are designed to be installed onto your device or oversized enough to be hard to fit in a pack; the JM & Sons Hand-Stitched MacBook Portfolio looks to strike a balance between these characteristic with a luxurious style aesthetic. Designed like an envelope that'll provide just the right amount of protection, the JM & Sons Hand-Stitched MacBook Portfolio is crafted from [Water Buffalo leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carl-friedrik-4) to provide a sumptuous feeling in-hand as well as a unexpected finish.

The JM & Sons Hand-Stitched MacBook Portfolio is crafted using a saddle stitch, which provides the best level of craftsmanship. The process is explained by the makers of the laptop protector in further detail: "When a machine lock stitch breaks, the thread on both sides on the material is loosened and the product becomes weak or falls apart. If a hand sewn saddle stitch breaks, the thread is only loosened on one side and the stitch running on the other side of the material continues to hold the materials together."
