ORIGINS
ORIGINS is our story. It captures the journey that led to Tella Skins, from uncertain beginnings, through setbacks, growth, and the decision to keep going. Every design represents a moment that shaped us. Somewhere in these moments, we hope you find pieces of your own story too.

Weeded by hand in Nairobi
Every key, weeded by hand.
A machine cuts your skin from a file we build for your exact laptop. That leaves tiny scraps of material between the keys. Weeding means picking them out, and we do it by hand, one at a time, in our Nairobi studio. It's slow. It's why every key keeps its own piece.
Create your own
Your design, cut to your laptop.
Send us an artwork, a photo or a pattern. We print it and cut it to your exact model, with a matching phone skin in the same design.

When will my skin ship?
We make skins in small drops, so every order is made to order. The ship date is shown on each product page. Your skin is made in our Nairobi studio, reaches our US fulfilment partner in New Jersey in 2–4 days, and ships to you from there. We email you when it leaves Nairobi, and again with your tracking number.
Will it fit my exact laptop?
Yes. Pick your model from the dropdown and we cut the lid, keyboard and palm rest to that model's exact dimensions. Not sure which model you have? Our Find Your Model guide shows you where to look.
How is my skin made?
In three steps. First, we build a custom cut file for your exact laptop model and your chosen design. Next, the design is printed on crystal-textured PVC, and a cutting machine follows that file to cut the lid, keyboard and every key. Last, we weed it by hand: the tiny scraps of material left between the keys are picked out by hand, one at a time, in our Nairobi studio. That last step is slow, and it's why every key gets its own piece.
Can I remove it without damaging my laptop?
Yes. It peels off clean, without damage to your laptop's surface.
What comes in the box?
A lid skin, a keyboard skin cut key by key, trackpad and palm rest pieces, a matching phone skin in the same design, a squeegee, and a printed application guide.
