Just wanna show my appreciation all the way from Malaysia. Bought this bag while I was on a work trip to New York and it’s been my daily. It truly can stand the test of time and it’s holding its structure really well!
I absolutely love this bag. I love it's construction and its hearty nature. The leather is truly beautiful. I wanted a bit of a different closure so that I didn't scratch the leather with my nails, and with the simplicity of the design it's easy to access and change. Adding a brass buckle worked wonders for me personally and I think that's the power of this bag. It can be what YOU need. The interior bag is brilliant, I love how organized it is, making it even more versatile.
Quality of the bag is everything I expected. I would recommend this bag for anyone that’s looking for a very durable letter Crossbody bag from a man.
I was gifted this bag about 2 years ago by my mother after she saw the quality of a Steel Horse Leather product I bought for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. I get so many compliments on this bag; it has held up so well across various uses. When I was working in healthcare it was my purse/everyday bag that I could put snacks and water bottles in it. It also fits my computer, tablet , wallet and miscellaneous items for when I don't feel like using a backpack in grad school. I'm really hard on my purses and it has only gotten more beautiful over the years. One time I forgot to close my water bottle tightly and the entire thing emptied into the bag, no water leaked out of it and there was no water damage at all.
Blown away by the quality and value of this bag. First rate materials and craftsmanship. I have had bags costing $500 that weren't made any better. I also like the way the shoulder strap is indeed leather with a cotton reinforcing strap sewn to it. Many other makers just use nylon or cotton straps. 10% off plus free shipping. Awesome deal!!!
PLUS, they include a carrying handle with it. This thing is flawless and will outlive me!! 6 STARS!!!!
It is a real leather and I love it. Solid wallet for its price
Love the leather and the bag is amazing! Use it to bring my Bible and notes to church and different places i am speaking at! Will most likely pass this down to my kids one day if they want it lol
Gorgeous backpack with so much room and it SMELLS SO GOOD!! Big enough to fit my laptop for work. Just ordered the wallet and change purse to go with it!
This duffle bag met all of my expectations...and more! (I recommend the light brown). It will get a lot of looks from passengers and family members will ask where to get one. ;)
PROS: It has a luxurious, movie-like appearance. The bag's high-quality leather gives it a tough yet flexible exterior. Its shoulder strap is constructed with the same tough leather with a perfectly aligned should pad. The inside zipper compartment is large enough to carry a Nintendo Switch, perfect for travel. Internal pockets are ideal for: phone charger, earbuds, and passport/cell phone. The outside zipper compartment for shoe storage is smart and convenient. The zippers are smooth with their high-quality construction. The handle provides for a strong grip.
CONS: I wish the shoulder strap could extend to become longer or if the bag was shipped with a second, longer shoulder strap. This is NOT a deal breaker by any means. I simply like to have a duffle bag swing around my body for balanced stability. This duffle bag is otherwise PERFECT.
I bought this to be a murse for me so that when I travel I can carry my headphones, wallet, glasses, snacks, etc. I don't actually use it as a camera bag...it happened to be the right size for what I needed. The leather is beautiful, and the craftsmanship is excellent. I've already used it on several trips, and I love it!
This has to be one of the most beautiful well made bags I've ever seen. I've wanted something like this bag for a very long time! It has exceeded my expectations!!
I want to say thank you for the Langley Backpack is great, and I like the finish and craftsmanship. Have a lot of space for my computer and my daily work stuff. I will recommend this bag to everybody. The style is great and looks great with my work outfit.
It is a good-looking pen case, the finish is great, and the zipper is great. Match perfectly with my new Langley Backpack, which also is great.
This bag has thick smooth leather that feels top quality extremely durable zippers and feels really nice
I bought 4 of the bags for my husband and sons. Beautiful product. For a lifetime of weekends! Great customer communication , humorous in fact. Keep it up.

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.
