Leather Quality Guarantee
All bags are crafted from top-grain cowhide sourced directly from our own leather factory, ensuring premium raw material quality and long-lasting texture. Our crazy horse leather styles are treated with professional crazy horse oil techniques and carry no surface coating — meaning the leather may show natural, random surface marks that are an inherent characteristic of the material. These are not defects or signs of prior use. With everyday wear, the leather naturally grows softer and develops a richer, deeper retro patina over time.
Note: The natural surface character described above applies to crazy horse leather styles. Oil-wax leather styles have a distinct, smooth finish.
Shipping Note: Due to logistics packaging size restrictions, some bags may be folded during shipment, which can leave minor surface creases. These fade naturally with regular use and are considered a normal part of the shipping process.
