Will it fit my large phone (iPhone Pro Max / Samsung Ultra)?
Yes, easily. The Ruby is specifically designed to accommodate the largest modern smartphones, including the iPhone Pro Max and Samsung S24 Ultra, even with a protective case on. The main compartment offers ample height and width for secure storage.
Will it fit with a bulky case (OtterBox-style)?
Usually, but case thickness is the deciding variable. Ruby’s depth is 0.59". If your phone plus case is close to or above that, expect a tighter fit. (Diagonal size is marketing; thickness is reality.)
What fits in the round mini pouch?
The detachable round pouch is a game-changer for small essentials. It is perfectly sized for AirPods, car keys, lip balm, loose change, or dog treats. It clips onto the strap for quick access, so you don't have to dig through the main bag for tiny items.
What can I carry besides my phone?
Best-practice loadout: phone in the main sleeve, essentials split between the mini pouch and the back zip pocket to avoid bulk. Ruby is intentionally slim at 0.59".
Is there a secure pocket for cards or cash?
Yes. Ruby includes a back zippered pocket for quick access and better security posture.
Will it fit a passport?
A passport fits dimensionally in the system, but capacity is tight if you also carry a Pro Max phone because Ruby is 0.59" deep. For travel, keep your passport in the back zip pocket when possible, and keep the main sleeve phone-only.
Is the wide strap comfortable? Can I adjust it?
Yes. Unlike thin leather straps that can dig into your shoulder, the Ruby features a wide, patterned fabric strap. This design distributes weight evenly, making it incredibly comfortable for all-day wear at festivals, concerts, or while traveling. It is fully adjustable to fit waist-high or hip-high.
Can I detach the strap?
Yes. The strap is adjustable and detachable.
Do I still need a wallet?
The Ruby is compact but organized. It features a front zipper pocket and a main compartment. While it fits a small cardholder or slim wallet alongside your phone, it is designed to be a lightweight "grab-and-go" bag. Many users switch to a slim card case when using this bag.
Is it good for travel?
Absolutely. It is the ideal "airport bag." You can keep your boarding pass and phone in the Ruby (worn crossbody for security) while keeping your hands free for your luggage. The zippers ensure your valuables stay safe in crowded areas.
What is the D-ring for?
Modularity. It’s designed for attaching accessories (keys, sanitizer, AirTag holder, small charm). If you want the mini pouch clipped externally, add a small clip to the D-ring, and you’re operational.
The leather has marks on it. Is it damaged?
No, this is the signature of authentic Crazy Horse Leather. We treat the full-grain cowhide with natural waxes. The marks and tonal shifts you see are natural characteristics (the "pull-up" effect). Over time, these marks will blend into a rich, glossy patina that makes your bag unique.
Will the color rub off on my clothes?
Because we use high-quality, oil-rich leather, there is a small chance of color transfer (bleeding) during the first few weeks, especially in hot or humid weather or if rubbed against white fabrics. We recommend wearing it with darker clothing until the leather naturally seals itself.
Is it waterproof or water-resistant?
It is water-resistant. The natural wax coating repels light rain and splashes. However, it is not waterproof. If you get caught in a downpour, wipe the bag dry and let it air dry naturally (away from heaters) to protect the leather.
Is it real full-grain leather or “genuine leather”?
Real. We use full-grain cowhide Crazy Horse leather.
Does Crazy Horse leather scratch easily?
Yes, light marks are normal and part of the pull-up character. Those “wear signals” are what turn into patina, not product failure.
How do I maintain and clean the leather?
Crazy Horse leather is low-maintenance.
- Weekly: Wipe dust off with a dry, soft cloth.
- Yearly: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner (like a wax or balm) to keep the leather supple and hydrated. Avoid chemical detergents or soap.
Can I add a monogram? Are personalized items returnable?
We offer monogramming. Personalized items are not eligible for returns or exchanges, so confirm initials and placement before checkout.
Are personalized items returnable?
No. Personalized items are not eligible for returns or exchanges, so confirm text and placement before checkout.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, your product is covered by a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship (stitching, hardware, zipper, lining).
Color notes for crazy-horse leather
Natural pull-up leather shows tonal variations and develops a unique patina with use—no two bags are exactly the same.
Caring for Your Crazy Horse Leather Bag - Crazy Horse Leather Care Guide
We are proud of the quality and craftsmanship of our bags. Every Yukon bag is designed to be tough enough to survive even the most rugged terrains while retaining their timeless beauty. Each bag must undergo a special process to earn the status of the Crazy Horse label. Bumps, bangs, and scratches intensify the bag’s vintage look and beauty. The quality craftsmanship allows the bag to carry a heavy load while still retaining shape. With proper care, your Yukon bag will hold up to decades of service.
IF YOUR YUKON CRAZY HORSE LEATHER BAG GETS WET:
- Simply wipe dry with a soft leather cloth.
- Do not store your bag while wet.
- Wipe off any moisture before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
- After drying bag: Hang to dry or turn bag inside-out.
- Do not use a hairdryer or any type of heat to dry your bag. Applying heat can cause the leather to crack or harden.
FOR SPILLS:
- Wipe spills off with a slightly dampened cloth.
- Do NOT use detergents or cleansers on your Crazy Horse leather bag – this will discolor the leather and can destroy the beauty of the bag.
- If necessary: Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away any stains.
Yukon Crazy Horse leather bags are designed to take a beating and still retain their luxurious antique leather look. Scratches and bumps help to increase the beauty of the bag and add to its unique vintage look.
TO ELIMINATE UNWANTED SCRATCHES:
- Using a soft dry cloth – rub scratch in a circular motion to redistribute wax coating.
- For a deep scratch - leather wax can be applied to bring the leather back to its previous condition.
- Leather cream or wax should be applied periodically to preserve softness and luster.
SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR YUKON CRAZY HORSE LEATHER BAG:
Your Yukon Crazy Horse leather bag can last a lifetime when properly cared for. Each bag has been designed to age beautifully – as it is 100% natural cowhide, the leather will change hue with every scratch and bump, adding to the striking vintage look our bags are famous for. This ability to change hue and retain the stunning antique luster is exclusive to Crazy Horse leather bags. Wear and tear will increase the bag’s beauty - however, we recommend periodically treating your bag with leather cream or wax to preserve its softness and sheen.
To ensure your bag’s ability to retain its shape, luster, and beauty for a lifetime of use we recommend:
TO AVOID STRETCHING THE LEATHER:
- Limit the number of items stored in the bag over long periods.
- Limit storing heavy items for long periods.
- Avoid over-stuffing pockets.
TO KEEP YOUR CRAZY HORSE LEATHER SOFT AND SUPPLE:
- TEST a small patch before coating entire bag. Some products can change the color of the leather.
- Apply a THIN, even layer of leather balm or leather wax to your bag with a soft, clean sponge.
- Wipe off any excess balm (or wax) with a soft, dry, leather cloth.
We strongly recommend periodically treating your Yukon Bag to a coating of leather balm or wax to prevent the leather from becoming dry or cracked.
Caution: Overuse of products designed to keep leather soft can result in too much softening and may result in the bag losing its shape.
STORING YOUR CRAZY HOUSE LEATHER BAG:
- Protect your Yukon bag by storing it in a clean, dry space.
- Wipe away any moisture before storing your bag.
- Be sure the bag is completely DRY before storing it.
- For optimal results in maintaining the bag’s shape – empty bag before storing.
- For long periods of storage, we recommend keeping the bag in a soft cotton pillowcase. This will prevent discoloration from dust or infestation by insects (always check for them after a hike!).
- If you plan for your bag to stay in storage for an extended length of time, inspect it every 3-4 weeks. If you store the bag without emptying it first, check every 1-2 weeks to avoid stretching or mold.
We designed Yukon bags with durability, functionality, and beauty in mind. Our craftsmanship and materials are of the highest quality. Please follow our recommended care guide to keep your Crazy Horse leather bag in optimal condition, year after year. With proper care, your Yukon bag will last for decades of use.
