  • When to Use

    Best for professionals who carry laptops and daily essentials to work, individuals seeking a versatile bag that transitions from office to casual settings, commuters who need comfortable weight distribution for extended carrying, and those who appreciate handcrafted leather goods that develop character over time. Ideal for day trips, work commutes, everyday errands, and situations where you need to consolidate multiple items into one stylish, organized bag.

A treasure

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.

My go-to tote bag for all things work and play

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.

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.
