Great Designs of Laptop Sleeves

Aveevee offers what has been very hard to find--affordable, stylish, protective laptop sleeves.

Sleeves are slot loading and are designed for easy removal. Each sack is lined with quilted diamond satin and padded for added protection while stowed away or in transit.

Price: P800 regardless of size, style, color. Yes, you read that right. Only P800 for these beauties!

UPDATE: As of July 1, 2007, PowerMac also carries these lapsacks. New price list is as follows:
Price if you buy from PowerMac - P1,800
Price if you order from Avee - P1,600
Price if you get 2 or more - P1,300


Don't worry about the sleeve not fitting your laptop because they make it depending on your laptop's dimensions! Great, right?


Also Customizable

You may also choose to design your own sleeve by picking from the wide array of swatches available.

There are more designs and colors to choose from (even the swatches) so be sure to get yours now!

Where to buy
*Aveevee - order online

You might also want to check the RedVanilla laptop bags. They're more expensive, but if you want your bags to have handles, you should check the previous feature.

Rafe Totengco

Rafe Totengco is one Filipino who made it big in the international fashion business. You may remember him from Schizo, a clothing line under Sari-Sari Store back in the day. In 1989, he decided to pack his bags and move to the Big Apple. He studied at New York's Fashion Institute and Technology. Soon after, his vision finally became a reality. Today, Rafe NY is a brand many celebrities patronize.


Hobo Bags



Shoulder Bags



Satchel Bags



Tote Bags



Wallets



Flats



Wedges



Who's Wearing Rafe?

Among many others, Sandra Oh, Kirsten Davis, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria carry around Rafe's creations.

His Roots

I thought that that was the ultimate coup because it was our country acknowledging the fact that fashion is an industry that can contribute. It's not just about medicine, politics, or agriculture. - Rafe Totengco

True that international celebrities make him busy, but the Filipino in him cannot and did not forget his roots. He made a collection honoring Filipino Women who served as examples. These 11 lucky women were: Felecia Atienza, Tricia Cu-Unjieng, Ting Ting Cojuangco, Celine Lopez, Tina Maristela-Ocampo, Rissa Samson, Pauline Suaco-Juan, Mandy de la Rama-Santos, Bea Valdes, Tessa Prieto-Valdes and Lizzie Zobel.

Where to buy:
UPDATE Rafe NY is available in Mix. You can also head to Target for exclusive collections here.
