Review on 👜 YALUXE Crazy Horse Leather Vintage Style Work Shoulder Tote Bag (UPGRADED 2.0) by Crystal Bryant

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fine leather, good bag, quality control issues

I bought the regular "brown" leather version of this Crazy Horse wallet. Overall I was very impressed with the quality of the leather and the case. I usually carry Kate Spade, MBMJ or Michael Kors bags and this one has absolutely beautiful leather that rivals any of those bags. However, I would warn people. If you're used to more finished leather bags, especially Saffiano leather, this bag isn't intended as a "durable, scratch-resistant" leather bag. As the name suggests, this is a Crazy Horse leather bag. The purpose of this leather is to show some marks, scuffs and wear over time. The more the bag is used, the more "shabby" it will look. If you don't need this type of leather, you can consider another version of this bag from Yaluxe: BIG SALE - 40% OFF - YALUXE Women's Soft Leather Work Shoulder Bag (Update 2.0), Brown. It has an oiled leather finish, which is now more commonly used in bags than Crazy Leather. The lining fabric is not as good as MBMJ's but it is durable and the stitching of the bag I received was well finished. I took off a star because the first bag I ordered didn't receive the brown leather "Yaluxe" tag that was shown in the pictures of the bag. To their credit I was able to return this bag and order a new one with no problems and no extra cost. When I received the "Yaluxe" leather tag shown in the photos on the second bag, it was attached with white thread, not a metal bead - it just looked awful. I liked the bag so I kept it and made my own necklace using a pewter colored chain and jump ring from Michael, but it was an extra effort and took a little time. Overall I would recommend this bag (especially if you like the worn look of Crazy Horse leather) but the quality control doesn't seem to match some of the finer details. I paid $78 for this wallet (there was a promotion where an additional $6 was deducted from my cart once I checked out). I think that's a very fair price for the quality of the bag.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Negative impression
