iPad Air 11 & Pro 11 Leather Sleeves & Bags
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Both measure roughly 9.8 × 7.0 in (24.8 × 17.9 cm) and differ only in thickness. Our 11 inch sleeves are cut for both.
Yes, that is exactly what the sleeves are cut for. The keyboard adds noticeable bulk, so we always measure with it. Without the keyboard your iPad fits as well, it simply sits a little more loosely.
Every model has its own protected spot for it, whether or not you use a keyboard.
All four fit. The real question is what else has to come along: the SUFFOLK is the flattest and disappears into a backpack compartment. HAMPSHIRE and ANGUS have a front pocket. The CORRIEDALE S also takes documents and cables.
It fits too. Apple renamed the size from 10.9 to 11 inch; the footprint stayed the same.
No. The 13 inch measures around 11.1 × 8.5 in and will not fit an 11 inch sleeve. Take the 13 inch version.
In our own workshop in Hamburg. Making, sewing and final checks all happen here, and have since 2011. The leather is vegetable-tanned in Tuscany, and the merino wool felt is mulesing-free.
iPad Air 11 leather sleeve – handmade in Hamburg since 2011
The iPad Air 11-inch is the best-selling iPad of all: light enough for the whole day, large enough to work on. Our iPad Air 11 sleeves and bags have been made in Hamburg since 2011, from vegetable-tanned cowhide leather and mulesing-free Merino wool felt. The iPad Pro 11-inch has the same footprint, so every sleeve fits both devices.

Three short clips of the models available for your iPad Air 11: the ANGUS in leather, the SUFFOLK in Merino wool felt with a holder for the Apple Pencil, and the CORRIEDALE as a bag with storage space.
Which leather sleeve fits the iPad Air 11? All dimensions
| Model | Inside cm | Outside cm | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUFFOLKportrait | 21.0 × 26.5 | 22.7 × 27.8 | €69 |
| HAMPSHIRE | 27.4 × 19.1 | 29.1 × 21.6 | €76 |
| ANGUS | 27.3 × 19.9 | 29.1 × 21.1 | from €164 |
| CORRIEDALE S | 26.5 × 19.5 | 28.5 × 21.5 | from €169 |
The SUFFOLK is a vertical sleeve – the iPad slides in upright. That is why the smaller number comes first there. In the other models the device lies crosswise.
The four models in leather and wool felt for your iPad Air 11
- SUFFOLK – Merino wool felt with a leather patch, without a front pocket. The slimmest option, it disappears into any backpack compartment.
- HAMPSHIRE – wool felt with a contrasting leather patch, flat magnets and a front pocket.
- ANGUS – full leather outside, wool felt inside. Two zips, one of them for the front pocket.
- CORRIEDALE S – the bag for when documents and cables travel next to the iPad.
The leather: vegetable-tanned cowhide, just under 2 mm thick
For the ANGUS and for the leather patches of SUFFOLK, HAMPSHIRE and CORRIEDALE we use full-grain leather from family-run tanneries in Tuscany, vegetable-tanned. The hide reaches us just under 2 mm thick and we bring it down to the thickness each part needs.
Full-grain means the surface is not sanded for an even look. Pores, fine veins and small scars stay visible, and the colour deepens over the years. An iPad Air 11 leather sleeve that goes into a backpack every day looks different after two years than on day one: darker, softer, with a patina. If you want a material that always looks the same, a coated leather suits you better. We deliberately do the opposite.
Inside there are 3 mm of Merino wool felt. The felt is soft enough not to scratch the display as you slide the device in, and dense enough to absorb knocks instead of passing them on to the corners of the iPad. Your device is best protected in the ANGUS: it is the only model with full leather outside and wool felt inside.
Compatibility: iPad Air 11, Pro 11 and Air 10.9
Our sleeves fit the iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and M3), the iPad Pro 11-inch (M4 and earlier) and the iPad Air 10.9-inch. Apple only renamed the size; the footprint has stayed the same at 24.8 × 17.9 cm, so one sleeve fits all three.
The Apple Pencil has its own protected space in every model, whatever keyboard accessory you use.

Do you want leather? How we split and skive the hides ourselves is described on our page Leather sleeves for iPad and MacBook. Working with one hand? The TABSTRAP iPad holder with hand strap attaches to the device with a residue-free vacuum film and is made for iPads up to 11 inches.
From the raw hide to the last seam
Splitting, skiving, punching, sewing, embossing, fittings and final inspection all happen in our own workshop in Hamburg, since 2011.
A slip-in sleeve has to sit tightly without jamming. That tolerance cannot be bought in, it is created at the cutting stage. This is why we cut a separate pattern for each device size instead of one universal cut.
