Discover the Essence of Crazy Horse Leather with Ed Charly
Crazy Horse leather is not your average leather; it's full-grain, rugged, and looks vintage in character.
It’s the kind of material that tells your story the more you use it.
What is Crazy Horse Leather?
Despite its name, Crazy Horse leather doesn’t come from horses.
It's a type of full-grain leather treated with special waxes that give it a distinctive look and feel.
This wax treatment highlights the natural grains, marks and imperfections of the leather, giving every piece a vintage & rustic appeal that evolves over time.
One of the most amazing things about Crazy Horse leather is how it ages.
With every touch and scratch, it develops a unique patina, a deeper colour, a soft sheen, and a completely one-of-a-kind appearance over time.
The wax infusion makes the leather more water-resistant and durable, perfect for everyday use.
How is Crazy Horse Made?
Crazy horse leather is made from either top-grain or full-grain leather, which are the top layers of the animal hide.
(We only use full-grain leather, because it preserves the original grain, marks and character of the animal hide)
Animal hide is the raw, untreated skin of an animal. Leather is what it becomes after tanning and processing. Simply put, an animal hide is the source, and leather is the finished product.
Once the hide is selected, it goes through a tanning process.
This step stabilises the leather and prevents it from breaking down over time.
After the tanning process, the leather is carefully infused with natural waxes and oils.
This gives the crazy horse leather its signature vintage look - rustic, vintage and full of character.
As the wax settles into the leather, it highlights every crease, fold and natural grain - creating a beautiful rustic vintage outlook that gets better with age.
And that's how crazy horse leather is made; no crazy horses involved, just honest and quality work just careful processing, skilled craftsmanship and natural, the finest materials.
