Reviews
Marks & Color Variations?
Crazy Horse leather is ideal for vintage style leather goods due to its waxed treatment and color tones. However, you should know that it marks and scratches easily, and no two hides are the same. Over time, this feature adds a lot of character to goods made with crazy horse leather. These marks gradually blend into the surface as the leather develops a beautiful patina.
COLOR VARIATIONS
When ordering from our store, please be aware that the color of any item may vary slightly from those displayed in product images. This is the nature of Crazy Horse leather. No two items will ever be identical.
Every hide is different and colors will vary. Each device type (desktop computer, laptop, tablet or phone) will also display colors differently. To ensure your expectations are met when your bag arrives, please note sample variations of colors below.
Brown & Medium Brown
This color can range from a darker tan brown to light brown, occassionally leaning toward a darker mustard brown color
Dark Brown
This color can vary with a mix of dark and medium brown tones, to very dark consistant brown color. In some cases, a little bit of a reddish tone might be noticable.
Reddish Brown
This color can vary from darker reddish leather to medium reddish brown tones.
Vintage Brown
This color can vary with tones leaning toward rich dark brown and red tones, to medium brown with less defined redish tones.
IS CRAZY HORSE LEATHER FOR YOU?
If you prefer the more upscale look of classic Italian bags free of blemishes, marks and varying color tones, Crazy Horse leather may not be your best choice. However... if you love leather bags that will develop a truly vintage look over time, the answer is a resounding YES - without a doubt, you'll love Crazy Horse leather!
