Wanna see something super cool? I’ve got my mitts on a genuine leather laptop cover (R1 799) that feels as soft as butter.

But wait for it… when my MacBook runs out of power (or my cell phone, for that matter), it can charge it up for me thanks to a secret sleeve containing a built-in power bank!

The power bank (3000 mAh, if you were wondering) is so flat and light you honestly wouldn’t even know you were carrying it. But things get even better… it’s been personalised with my name!

So, I’m pretty sure you have lots of questions. Where did I get this dude? How you can you get one too? Can it also reply to all my e-mails? Relax, chicas! One question at a time, okay? First up, this is a Take Charge laptop cover. Take Charge is a proudly South African company creating luxury leather handbags, purses, clutches, tablet envelopes and MacBook covers, each containing a cleverly hidden power bank. The brain child of Tammy Lederle, a Cape Town-based ad agency owner who’s clearly got an ‘eye’ ‘cos the line up’s fantastically mooi to look at. In fact, it’s a merger of my two favourite things – practicality and prettiness!

To view the full collection, get all the specs, shop online and even send a ‘gift hint’, visit Take Charge over here. If you’ve been struggling with gift ideas for the girl on the go who’s already got it all your search has come to an end.

Love, love
