Designed for modern professionals, this vintage Balenciaga Classic Motocross 15-inch laptop case elevates the commute, client meetings, and conference days. Crafted in black textured leather with a zip-around closure and practical pockets, it keeps your tech and documents sleekly organised from desk to dinner.

Q: Will a 15-inch or 16-inch laptop fit in this case?
A: The internal capacity is guided by the listed measurements of about 33.5 × 23 cm. Most 15–16 inch laptops (for example MacBook Pro 15/16 at around 35.6 × 24.6 cm or larger) are likely too large. This sleeve is better suited to slimmer devices closer to 13 inches and similar tablets. Please compare your device’s full width and height to the measurements provided before purchasing.

Q: What devices and documents does it comfortably hold?
A: It suits most 13-inch laptops and ultrabooks, tablets, and A4 documents or notebooks. The width allows for magazines and a slim organiser, while the low profile keeps the silhouette sleek inside a tote or briefcase.

Q: Does it have protective padding?
A: This is a slim leather laptop pouch with fabric lining and a zip-around closure. It offers light structure but is not heavily padded like a tech case. For extra protection, many clients add a thin neoprene or felt sleeve around the device before placing it inside.

Q: What pockets and closures does it have?
A: It features a front zipped pocket for small essentials and one internal pocket inside the black fabric lining. The main compartment secures with a full zip-around closure.

Q: What is the leather like, and how will it age?
A: Crafted in Balenciaga’s signature textured Arena-style leather from the Motocross line, the material is soft with a gently crinkled finish. With careful use it develops a pleasing patina over time; light scuffs can blend into the grain, but the leather benefits from mindful care to minimise marks.

Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware?
A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from water and prolonged sunlight or heat. If needed, use a gentle leather cleaner and a light conditioner sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid overfilling to preserve the shape, and store stuffed with acid-free tissue in a breathable dust bag. Hardware can be buffed gently with a soft cloth—avoid abrasives.

Q: Does it come with a strap or handle?
A: No. This design is a handheld pouch/sleeve without a strap or top handle. It can be carried on its own or slipped inside a larger bag.

Q: Is it unisex and suitable for work?
A: Yes. The minimalist black leather, silver-tone hardware and streamlined profile make it a versatile, unisex piece that pairs well with business and smart-casual looks.
