Design and features
At first glance, it’s easy to think of Oakywood’s Felt MacBook case as just a thing Store your laptop to ensure its safety. Although its core function is nothing more than that, but environmentally friendly materials are where the case really shines.
The case itself is made of hand-stitched Merino wool felt, which is both durable and waterproof (think about sprinting in the rain or light splashes, rather than being completely submerged). It is a renewable natural material with light gray mottled and slightly darker hair.
The laptop easily slides in and stays in place, with enough tension around it. After a month I did not notice any looseness, but I think the wool will stretch over time.
Sewn on one side is a brown “washpapa” pocket, which looks and feels a lot like rough leather. Washpapa is essentially washable impregnated sewing paper. I have not heard of it myself, but it is a lovely ecological material, very suitable for merino wool felt.
In the past month, I have used this box to bring my laptop to the office several times. Really, this is what I need. In the photo, you can see the braided cord and MacBook power brick I tucked into my pocket, just to see if it fits. In this pocket, you can only carry a mobile phone, a small notebook and a pen.
I don’t even want to leave the energy brick there for too long, it seems to stretch the material, leaving a square outline on the back pocket of a pair of jeans, like the dents of an old man’s wallet.
Ideally, you only need to use this case as a safe buffer to prevent things that bounce back inside the larger case, but use just If I don’t need anything else, in this case I can commute to work.
Perhaps most importantly, this is an environmentally friendly choice for computer accessories. Oakywood, headquartered in Poland, is committed to ethical production and environmentally friendly materials, planting a tree for every tree sold.Therefore, although their asking price may be a bit high, the ecological footprint of your purchase this time Used to Yes.

Areas for improvement
