Cowhide leather
Know your leather
Made from 100% full-grain cowhide, Crazy Horse leather is prized for its strength, character, and ability to age gracefully. Treated with natural waxes, it develops a rich, rugged patina over time—each scratch and mark becoming part of its story. Thick, durable, and unapologetically raw, it’s a material that reflects authenticity and craftsmanship in every inch.
SOLID BRASS & YKK ZIPPERS
Know Your Hardware
Built to endure. We use only solid brass hardware and YKK zippers—the gold standard in reliability. From the smooth glide of every zip to the satisfying weight of each buckle, these components are chosen for function and feel. They won’t just last—they’ll get better with age, just like the leather they’re paired with.
THOUGHTFUL STORAGE
Know Your Space
Inside, three spacious compartments keep your essentials in order—laptops, files, notebooks, and more. The central section is large enough for a full-sized laptop, while interior and exterior zippered pockets offer quick, secure access to smaller items. Available in two sizes: 16" (W) x 12" (H) x 3" (D) and 18" (W) x 13" (H) x 4" (D). Choose the fit that matches your workflow—compact and efficient, or spacious and ready for everything.

The interior is even better. Love it
I Love this briefcase! It will be sure to get compliments and likes for sure! The only thing I was disappointed in was that I paid $50 for 1-3 day shipping, and it arrived in 8 days instead. I communicated with Linda the customer service manager and was informed that I'll be refunded my shipping cost. Overall this bag is great! The smell is wonderful. Get one of these! You'll Love it!
It looks n feel lovely
I purchased a crazy horse briefcase in October 2020. It arrived within 7 days. It looks very well made and sturdy. My work papers and my laptop fit very well. I plan on using it for many years.
Received my messenger bag in a reasonable amount of time. It was exactly what I wanted. The color and fell of it is perfect. I love this bag and can't wait to step out with it. My overall experience and quality of the product is 10/10.
The bag was exactly as described and seems to be really good quality. I like the feel of it and it looks super nice as well.

The perfect laptop bag for me. Absolutely love it! The leather feels rich and durable. Looks beautiful. Nice color. Just the right size 15" enough space for my stuff. Enough pockets but not so many that you loose things. I've ordered a few products from James leather and everything has been top notch. Highly recommend.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Great Bag! Perfect size, and Great Quality!!!
Bought this as a gift for my son who works in Manhattan (NYC). It replaced his old worn out bag. He loves it. The bag needs some time to “break in” , but overall, great buy.
Showed up on time. Quality is excellent. I love it!
It really is lovely leather, finish and quality construction. My only gripe is of the stitching it is Orange, not the colour I saw on the website. I just hope I can tone it down with some oil or polish. If it’s nylon I have no chance, as it will not absorb anything. It is however a beautiful bag and either way I will need to adjust to the colour, a small price to pay for this quality product.
This is a very nice bag. It holds a lot and it will be loved for many years to come.
well done.
The briefcase is beautiful. The leather is very high quality, supple and rich. The stitching and overall workmanship are excellent. I love walking into court with it.
Good quality
I recently purchased this briefcase to replace an old one. I love this bag. The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding. The delivery time was shorter than expected. Extremely satisfied with the entire process. Thank you James Leather.
this model of the sachell/ bag was purchased to carry art supplies and page to comic conventions, it gives a great feel to my supplies and has room for all of them. what a great product to own and use.
Bought this for my husband for a meeting briefcase. He loves it! It’s already getting a beautiful weathered look that leather always delivers. Fits all his books like a glove and he’s gotten tons of compliments. Thank you so much!
Outstanding quality and looks. A co-worker liked it so much he just ordered one for himself.
I ordered two (2) leather bags and only received one (1). After one email which was promptly answered, another one was quickly mailed to me fulfilling the order I had made. The bags are of very high quality and the customer service excellent. I would certainly do business with this company again, and would recommend them to others.
