You mostly use your sleek new laptop to watch the Gap Yah dude. So rather than megabytes and gigabytes, you’re more concerned with what you carry your iDevice around in.

Thankfully architecture student-turned-designer-turned-stylist Harris Elliot has come up with an alternative to naff neoprene skins. Born from his need for a stylish and practical bag, the H by Harris quilted laptop case is made in England from butter-soft nappa leather. Available in black, white, grey, pillar box red or bright blue, the simple and tactile skins are part of a range of weekend bags, totes and rucksacks. Added bonus: the quilting provides a comforting cushion should your laptop end up on the floor.

Prices start at £225, so rather than leaving yours at home after work, get maximum use by wearing it as an oversize clutch next time you dress up to go out on the lash.

Available at Dover Street Market, 17-18 Dover Street, W1S 4LT (020 7518 0680); online at oki-ni.com. To see styles, go to hbyharris.com.
