Introduction
In the forests of Vermont, master artisans at FeltCraft Studios are reviving centuries-old wool felting techniques to create heirloom-quality laptop sleeves for the digital age.
Body
Each handmade wool felt laptop bag begins with raw Rambouillet wool sourced from local farms. Through a 14-step process involving wet felting and needle-punching, artisans transform loose fibers into dense, seamless sheets. The studio’s signature Timberline 16″ Sleeve features 8mm-thick felt layers, tested to protect devices from 1.5-meter drops.
Unlike synthetic alternatives, wool’s natural lanolin resists stains and odors. “A client spilled ramen on his sleeve – it wiped clean without a trace,” recounts lead crafter Jonas Weber. For tech minimalists, the studio offers slimline polyester felt versions weighing under 400g, ideal for tablet carry.
Market Insight
The luxury tech accessories market is projected to grow at 7.2% CAGR through 2030, driven by demand for personalized, durable designs. FeltCraft’s bespoke service allows clients to embed metallic threads or family crests into felt surfaces.
