iPad Pro 12.9 Leather Sleeves & Bags
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Apple changed the name from 12.9 to 13 inches; the footprint has stayed almost the same. If you switch devices later, you can keep the sleeve.
Yes, the sleeves are cut for it. The keyboard adds noticeable thickness, so we always measure with it. Without the Magic Keyboard the iPad fits too, it then sits a little more loosely.
In our own workshop in Hamburg. Cutting, sewing and final inspection all happen here, since 2011. The leather is vegetable-tanned cowhide from Tuscany, the Merino wool felt is mulesing-free.
Yes. We base our patterns on the footprint of the device, not on the year it came out. All four models are still available for the 12.9-inch.
The 3rd to 6th generation have almost identical outside dimensions. Our sleeves are cut for all of them.
The SUFFOLK is the slimmest. HAMPSHIRE and ANGUS have a front pocket for accessories. The CORRIEDALE M also holds documents and cables.
iPad Pro 12.9 leather sleeve – handmade in Hamburg since 2011
Your iPad Pro 12.9-inch is not the newest model, but it is a very good device. That is exactly what we build sleeves for: our patterns follow the footprint of the device, not the year it came out. All iPad Pro 12.9 sleeves and bags have been made in Hamburg since 2011, from vegetable-tanned cowhide leather and mulesing-free Merino wool felt.

Which leather sleeve fits the iPad Pro 12.9? All dimensions
| Model | Inside cm | Outside cm | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUFFOLKportrait | 24.1 × 29.2 | 25.9 × 30.3 | €69 |
| HAMPSHIRE | 31.8 × 23.1 | 33.3 × 25.6 | €76 |
| ANGUS | 30.9 × 23.4 | 32.1 × 24.6 | from €164 |
| CORRIEDALE M | 31.7 × 22.4 | 34.0 × 25.0 | 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.
Which generations fit?
All 12.9-inch models from Apple have almost the same footprint, from the 3rd to the 6th generation. Our sleeves are cut for all of them, and for the newer iPad Pro and Air 13-inch as well. So if you move to a 13-inch later, you can keep the sleeve.
The Apple Pencil has its own protected space in every model, whatever keyboard accessory you use.
The four models in leather and wool felt for your iPad Pro 12.9
- SUFFOLK – Merino wool felt with a leather patch, without a front pocket. The slimmest option.
- 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 M – 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 Pro 12.9 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. That matters especially with the large 12.9-inch. Your device is best protected in the ANGUS: it is the only model with full leather outside and wool felt inside.

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.
