The Teslin is engineered with a detachable, adjustable strap that allows it to shift personas in seconds—converting effortlessly into a travel fanny pack, a crossbody wallet, a sophisticated clutch, or a classic shoulder pocketbook. Whether you need hands-free agility for a festival or a refined handheld for a formal evening, its lightweight 0.3 lb frame ensures you move with effortless grace.

The interior is meticulously sized to harbor your daily essentials, including large smartphones like the iPhone Pro Max, along with your cash and cards. An embossed front slip pocket provides rapid access to your ID or business cards, while a large, hidden pocket on the back offers a discreet sanctuary for your most sensitive items, ensuring maximum security during transit.
A Living Canvas of Craftsmanship: Forged from authentic full-grain cowhide crazy horse leather, the Teslin is built to chronicle your unique journey. This storied leather is prized for its remarkable ability to heal and evolve, transforming every bump and scratch into a rich, multi-tonal patina that deepens with character over time. Secured by a fold-over flap with a sturdy snap closure and accented with vintage-tone brass hardware, this bag is a long-term investment in artisanal quality.

Will it fit a large phone (iPhone Pro Max class)?
Yes. Teslin’s main compartment is designed for a large phone (example: iPhone 14 Pro Max) plus mini essentials.
What are the exact dimensions and weight?
7.9" L × 4.9" H × 0.49" W (20 × 12.5 × 1 cm). Weight: 0.3 lb (150 g).
Is the strap adjustable, and will it work crossbody on different body types?
Yes. Strap adjusts from 22" to 45" (55 to 115 cm). Measure where you’ll wear it (waist, hip, or crossbody) and match to that range.
Can it convert into a fanny pack, crossbody, clutch, or shoulder purse?
Yes. It’s built as a detachable-strap “everything purse” and converts into all four carry modes.
What fits inside, realistically?
Phone + cash + cards + keys. It’s a minimalist carry designed to replace “big bag habits,” not enable them.
Does it have a built-in card pocket (wallet function)?
Yes. It has an outer slip pocket for cards and an embossed front card pocket for ID or business cards.
How secure is the closure?
The fold-over flap snaps shut. For high-traffic areas, keep passport/cash in the back secret pocket.
Will it fit a passport?
Yes, this category is commonly used as a travel “passport + phone” carry. Use the back secret pocket for travel security.
Is it bulky under a jacket?
No. It’s intentionally slim (0.49" depth). Expect a clean profile even under outerwear.
How does the "convertible" feature work? Do I need to unclip straps?
It is seamless. You do not need to detach or clip anything. The Teslin features a clever pull-through strap system. Simply pull the straps up to use it as a shoulder tote, or pull them out to the sides to instantly transform it into a backpack. It adapts to your needs in seconds—perfect for transitioning from a commute (backpack) to a meeting (tote).
Does the bag stand up on its own?
Generally, yes. The Teslin has a flat bottom structure. While empty, the soft Crazy Horse leather may slouch slightly (which adds to the vintage look), but once you have your wallet, tablet, and essentials inside, it sits upright nicely.
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 real full-grain leather or “genuine leather”?
Real. We use full-grain cowhide Crazy Horse leather.
Is it waterproof or water-resistant?
It is water-resistant. The natural waxes repel water, so light rain will bead up and roll off. 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.
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.
Customer Reviews
Bought this one for my niece...
Love the quality of leather and color. It's perfect for my cell phone in the outside pocket and my wallet with a few small items inside. I use this now everyday. I don't like carrying a heavy purse and I travel light. So this works great for me.
I bought this for my mom. She already has the tote bag and loves it. This is just another small edition to her collections. The material is unbelievable. I recommend this brand of bags to anyone. Quality is there.
The small pouch is perfect to carry my smaller zipper cases of cards. The leather is outstanding. Soft, yet, sturdy. The strap Is substantial…1/2’ wide…and adjustable. All the hardware is pleasing and strong. The snap is strong. Very strong! I am a senior, and my hands are not strong. A magnet closer is my only suggestion. I am very satisfied.
Thank you
Just received this well packaged product which was delivered in record time (to Yellowknife, NWT). It looks sturdy and great. NICE!
I teach outside in tough conditions and carry my phone in my Yukon bag at all times. It is tough, beautiful, and fashionable at the same time! Customer service is also great... when the strap needed repair, they sent me a whole new bag. Love everything about it. Thank you!
