    3. When attending university or graduate school classes
    → Because the spacious interior holds textbooks, notebooks, and a laptop, while the interior slip pocket keeps smaller items like pens and USB drives organized. The back support design makes carrying heavy academic materials more comfortable throughout long days on campus.

    4. When seeking a long-term investment piece that develops character over time

Best for me

I choose this model because it seemed to me to be the best for air travel. Haven't had a chance to test that theory yet, but I still think it's the right choice. I love the easy access pockets and the fact it can comfortably be carried like a briefcase. Solid construction; beautiful durable leather. Cost is easy to justify.

Excellent quality

Leather is top tier, bag is rugged and will age well, only downside that I can find is that I have seen heavier duty zippers on things like coach backpacks BUT the ones on this bag are plenty sturdy and the quality of the rest of the bag far outweighs the quality of most designer brands that cost much more! And you are supporting a small business, win win!

just what I was looking for

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a Question? We’ve Got the Answer!

  • Crazy horse leather is actually a cow leather. You may find this answer is too short, so we would like to give you more detail about this question. Crazy horse leather also referred to as saddle leather is made by applying, a kind of wax to a full grain leather surface that has been buffed and smoothed out. The leather has been treated to look and feel aged while retaining its toughness. The more you use it, the better and more unique it looks.

  • Crazy horse leather is made by applying a special kind of wax to a full grain cow leather surface that has been smoothed out. Through the application of the wax, plays a very distinctive role in the uniqueness of crazy horse leather. It will cause small changes to the material's shape and appearance. This gives it a unique retro, vintage look which ages beautifully over time.

  • Simply wax itself. Wax is highly resistant to water and other liquids. So, when applied to leather it protects the leather fibers far better than that of any other substance used on leather today. This allows the crazy horse leather to withstand much of what is an issue for most other types of leather. It doesn't stain fabrics or clothing. Because of this, it is the ideal choice of leather for making vintage style leather bags. Also, every crazy horse leather bags are unique due to the this manufacturing process. It feels really great to think that you have a unique product with you.

  • As we mentioned before, each bag is unique due to special wax and manufacturing. This application makes every bag distinctive. They are durable and strong. Wax itself protects the leather from water or moisture-related damages. The wax strengthens the leather fibers to the point that when the fibers are rubbed or scratched the natural leather color changes a shade or two, without immediately reversing back. Through wear, naturally, the crazy horse leather will become full of these scratches. The rubbed and scratched areas that show the changes in shades of color, are what reflects the so loved antique and vintage appearance.
