Supple, durable crazy horse cowhide leather
The MANUSCRIT is made from cowhide leather, a material known for its density and resistance to everyday wear. It is treated using the crazy horse method: conditioned with oils and waxes, then finished to achieve a matte, slightly distressed appearance with irregular shades. On the coffee-colored leather, this finish creates lighter areas along the folds and edges, adding depth to the pouch.
For an item held by its hand strap and opened and closed repeatedly, this supple, oily leather is an asset: it bends without cracking, minor scratches often disappear with a rub, and over time the surface develops a warm, personal patina. The smooth polyester lining makes it easy to slide the tablet in and out.
Why you'll love it
The manuscript: a piece of writing kept close at hand
Before the printing press, a manuscript was something to be carried carefully, held close and wrapped in leather. The Voyageur MANUSCRIT revives this protective gesture for today's written word: the small tablet you use to read, take notes, consult a map, or keep a travel journal.
Its flap pouch shape calls to mind messengers' satchels and old-fashioned travel wallets. The hand strap on the back makes it secure and natural to carry: hold it like a book, with your hand resting flat against the leather.
It's the perfect accessory for traveling light: a museum, a site visit, a short flight, a meeting in town. Your tablet, cards, a few bills, and nothing else to carry.
Laser engraving: first engraving free
Like every piece in the Voyageur Collection, the Voyageur MANUSCRIT can be personalized with laser engraving, and the first engraving is free. Initials, a name, a travel date, or a short motto: on the coffee-colored leather, the laser creates a refined, dark mark. To put together a matching set, explore our personalized products.
One first engraving is free. For additional options — an extra text area, engraving of a logo (business, club, event), or hot stamping of your text, pressed into the leather instead of laser engraving — select the option you want in the “Engraving options” box, just below the Add to Cart button.
How to use your pouch in four steps
MANUSCRIT, LIVRET or OPUS?
| Feature | Voyageur MANUSCRIT | Voyageur LIVRET | Voyageur OPUS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Organizer pouch with flap | Slip-in pouch (sleeve) | Zippered pouch |
| Closure | Flap with 2 snap buttons | No closure | Zip on 3 sides |
| Carrying style | Hand strap on the back | In your hand or in a bag | Adjustable wrist strap |
| Storage | 12 card slots, 2 compartments, zip pocket, bill slot, coin pocket | Tablet only | Tablet + stylus holder |
| Tablet | 7.9 to 8.3" | 8" format | 8" format |
| Ideal for | Tablet and wallet in one | Minimalist protection | Compact zippered protection |
Good to know: the pouch is sized for 7.9- to 8.3-inch tablets (iPad mini format, approximately 20.5 × 13.5 cm). It is sold on its own: the tablet, cards, and items shown in the photos are not included. If you use a thick case, check your device's dimensions. Looking for a more minimalist case? The Voyageur LIVRET (slip-in pouch) and Voyageur OPUS (zippered pouch with wrist strap) protect the same tablet size.
Tip: Don't overfill the twelve card slots: if the leather is stretched too tight, it will keep its shape and the flap may not close as well. To care for the coffee-colored leather, rub small marks with the flat of your hand, then apply a colorless nourishing balm once or twice a year. Place the tablet with the screen facing the lining.

Precautions: Avoid storing keys, metal pens, or sharp objects in the same compartment as the tablet to prevent scratching the screen. Since genuine leather is a natural material, its color and grain may vary slightly from one piece to another. Keep the pouch away from excessive water, prolonged exposure to sunlight, and direct heat sources.
An elegant gift for readers on the go

Frequently asked questions
What can be engraved on the pouch?
The first laser engraving is free. It is done on the outer leather, for example on the flap, and works well for short text: initials, a name, a travel date, or a short motto. On the coffee-colored distressed cowhide, the laser creates a refined, darker mark that develops a patina along with the pouch. Given the compact size, short text looks most elegant: two or three initials are often enough to make the item your own. If you're unsure about the wording or placement, our customer service team will be happy to advise you before engraving.
How do I add a logo or extra engraving?
One first engraving is free. For additional options, select the one you want in the “Engraving options” box, just below the Add to Cart button: €5.90 for an extra text area, €14.90 for engraving a logo (business, club, event), or €19.90 for hot stamping your text: it is pressed into the leather with a hot iron, as with traditional saddlery, instead of being laser engraved. Hot stamping is for text only; logo hot stamping is quoted separately because it requires a custom die and is best suited to large quantities. For a laser-engraved logo, we will ask you to email us the file after ordering: for a crisp result, choose a simple, high-contrast vector file or high-resolution image. An ideal option for corporate gifts.
Which tablets are compatible?
The pouch fits tablets measuring 7.9 to 8.3 inches, based on the dimensions of the iPad mini (approximately 20.5 × 13.5 cm). The compatibility chart above lists the models specified by the manufacturer: iPad mini 1, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4, iPad mini 5, iPad mini 6 (8.3"), Galaxy Tab A 8" / 8.4", Galaxy Tab S2 / Tab A, Lenovo Tab M8, Huawei MediaPad M5, and Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9". Check your device's compatibility in the chart above. If you use a thick case, compare dimensions before ordering.
How does the hand strap work?
The hand strap is a leather strap attached to the back of the pouch. Slip your hand through it with your palm flat against the leather, and the pouch stays securely in place, without you having to grip it. It's handy for reading or taking notes while standing, moving through a crowd, a station, or a trade show, or keeping your fingers free to use your phone. This carrying style also reduces the risk of dropping the tablet. When you put the pouch in a bag, the strap simply lies flat against the back without getting in the way.
What storage does the pouch offer?
The MANUSCRIT is as much a wallet as a case. It has two main compartments, one for the tablet and another for folded documents, a passport, or a slim notebook, as well as twelve card slots, a side zip pocket, an interior pocket, a bill slot, and a coin pocket. Bank cards, business cards, a boarding pass, a few bills, and coins can all travel together under the same flap. Just avoid overfilling all the slots so the flap can still close easily.
How do I care for the coffee-colored distressed leather?
This oiled cowhide leather is very easy to care for. Pressure marks and small scratches usually fade with a rub of your palm, which redistributes the oils and waxes. Once or twice a year, apply a thin layer of colorless nourishing balm, let it soak in for a few minutes, then buff with a soft cloth. If it gets wet in the rain, wipe it gently without rubbing and let it air-dry away from a radiator. Avoid solvents and household cleaners. Over time, the coffee color develops a rich patina.
What is the difference between the Traveler LIVRET and OPUS cases?
All three hold an 8-inch tablet, but are designed for different uses. The MANUSCRIT is an organizer case: flap with two snap fasteners, hand strap, twelve card slots, zippered pocket, ticket and coin pocket. It replaces your wallet when traveling. The LIVRET is a minimalist sleeve with no closure, designed solely to protect the tablet. The OPUS is a three-sided zippered case with a wrist strap and stylus holder. Choose the MANUSCRIT if you want to carry everything in a single handheld item.
