What is the appeal of Crazy Horse Leather? Exploring its rarity

What is Crazy Horse Leather?

Crazy Horse Leather is a premium cowhide hide that has been known for centuries for its beauty, strength and durability.
It is nearly twice as expensive as regular cowhide, but its durability and beauty are unique.
Most Crazy Horse leather is produced in Italy, the United States and Colombia.

Origin of the name

The name Crazy Horse comes from the fact that this leather was often used to make saddles, so although it is called horse leather, it is not horse skin.
You can understand how amazing it is to be used for saddles by listening to the following statement.

When cowboys in the American West die, they leave their horses behind, but no matter how far they walk through the desert, they always carry their saddles. Horses are consumables, and the saddle is an interface that is familiar to their bodies . ---Eiichi Wada, Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo

Saddle makers prized the beauty and durability of a premium leather called Crazy Horse leather.

Crazy Horse Leather Manufacturing Process

Crazy Horse leather is made from full grain cowhide, the highest quality natural leather in the world.
*There are some brands that claim to produce artificial leather that is processed to be crazy horse leather, but this is simply leather that looks like crazy horse leather; it is not crazy horse leather.

A coating of natural wax is carefully applied, then the piece is buffed and polished to give it a luxurious, smooth finish.
In this way, scratches and bumps change the colour of the leather, producing the rich, multi-coloured luster that is only found in the finest natural leathers.

Products made from COWMONO's Crazy Horse Leather change color with every crease or scratch, revealing a rich color that is unique to you.
And Crazy Horse leather is highly water resistant.
The oils from your skin give the leather a beautiful shine, so the more you use it, the more it will become a unique piece of leather.

Crazy Horse Leather Features

First of all, the high quality of the 100% natural cowhide leather shines brightly, with its bumps and scratches creating a range of different tones that enhance the beauty of the bag.

Secondly, the unevenness that can only be found in genuine leather conveys the unique vintage feel of each bag.

Furthermore, even if it gets scratched, the scratches will heal if you rub it with the palm of your hand or the pads of your fingers.

If you want a durable, beautiful, elegant and unique product, Crazy Horse leather is the way to go.

Traditional leather bags can break, crack or harden within a year or two.
Rest assured that with minimal care, your Crazy Horse leather bag will retain its strength and style for years to come.
It is said that if properly cared for, Crazy Horse Leather bags can last for over 30 years.

Why buying a Crazy Horse Leather Backpack is the best choice

I'm completely serious about this, but I think buying a Crazy Horse Leather backpack was the best decision you could make.
Because no other bag is more durable than your most rugged hikes, or has a design that will be admired wherever you go.

Crazy Horse leather is unlike any other type of leather as it is the only 100% full grain natural cowhide leather that is specially treated to make it the toughest, strongest and most resilient leather available.

And I think it's the most versatile of all leathers.
As you can see when looking at COWMONO's products made with crazy horse leather, it has an incredibly rich color scheme.
Even brand new pieces have completely different textures. They may not be suitable for industrial production, where identical pieces are mass-produced.
However, as a product handcrafted by artisans, it couldn't be more fitting in that it is the only one of its kind in the world at the time of its creation!
Even when new, leather is already rich in diversity, and through your use it will evolve into an even more unique, one-of-a-kind product.

Crazy horse leather is a highly recommended item, as it looks elegant when used in the city and has a wild look when used in areas rich in nature.
*This is a rare product, so we apologize if it is out of stock.
