How do I clean and care for a leather pen and makeup case?
Wipe the leather with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Every six months, apply a pea-sized amount of neutral leather conditioner; for crazy-horse leather, use sparingly to preserve the matte pull-up finish and patina. Wipe the lining with a mild soap solution and air dry.
Max item length (cm/in) that zips closed without stress?
Up to ~17 cm / ~6.7 in (allowance from 18 cm external length for seams/zip curve)
Does it fit makeup essentials (mascara, liner, lipstick trio) simultaneously?
Yes. Standard mascara (≈12–13 cm), eyeliner, and a lipstick trio fit comfortably within the 18 × 5.3 × 4 cm envelope.
Is it suitable as a makeup/cosmetic pouch without a lining?
Yes, ideal for dry items (lipstick, liners, brushes). For liquids or creams, place them in a small sleeve or mini bag to avoid marking the natural leather interior.
Can it carry a slim power bank, cables, or a small sanitizer?
Yes, only very small/mini power banks fit (approx ≤10 × 5 × 1 cm / ≤3.9″ × 2.0″ × 0.4″), plus a short cable or a 30 ml sanitizer. For larger batteries, use a separate tech pouch. Avoid overfilling to protect the zipper.
Will makeup brushes fit?
Yes—most travel brushes up to ~17 cm (~6.7″) fit within the zip length.
How many compartments and pockets?
1 Single main compartment; no additional pockets called out.
Is this toiletry bag carry-on compliant?
Yes. A leather pen, makeup case is fine in carry-on luggage. Liquids must still follow TSA’s 3-1-1 rule: each container 3.4 oz (100 ml) or less, all items fitting in a single quart-size bag. Toiletry bags themselves are not the required quart bag.
How much does it hold (liters & cubic inches)?
Internal volume is about 0.38 liters (≈23.3 cubic inches), based on the external dimensions. Great for a week’s worth of travel-size toiletries.
What materials do you use? Are the tanneries certified?
We use full-grain crazy-horse leather from LWG Gold–rated tanneries, a water-resistant lining, YKK® zipper, and solid brass hardware/feet. LWG Gold recognizes environmental best practices in tanning.
Does this pouch have a lining?
No. It’s unlined full-grain crazy-horse leather inside and out, so the interior will develop natural patina with use.
Can I personalize it?
Yes. We offer laser-engraved initials or short names (up to 12 characters). Typical lead time: 1–2 business days before shipping. Personalization makes an excellent wedding, groomsmen, or corporate gift.
Is personalization available for bulk or bridesmaid/corporate gifts?
Yes, we offer bulk personalization (names, initials, logos). Contact us for options.
Is this a good bridesmaid gift or anniversary/birthday gift?
Yes, our personalized leather makeup, pencil bag is a popular bridesmaid gift and a timeless choice for anniversaries, birthdays, and Mother’s Day.
How many pens or pencils does it hold?
Typically 6–10 standard pens/pencils, or 3–5 larger fountain pens, depending on diameter.
Is it fountain-pen friendly?
Yes, for capped pens. Because the pouch is unlined leather, we recommend using individual pen sleeves for high-gloss finishes or if you carry multiple metal clips together. Wipe any ink leaks promptly.
Where are your toiletry bags made? Are they handcrafted?
Each bag is handcrafted in Türkiye (Turkey) by skilled leather artisans using traditional techniques and modern quality control.
How durable is it compared to fabric toiletry bags?
Full-grain leather with reinforced stitching, brass hardware, and YKK® zipper is built for years of use. With basic care, leather Dopp kits typically outlast fabric alternatives and develop a rich patina over time.
Does it stand upright or have base hardware?
It’s a soft/semi-structured pouch without base hardware; it lies flat or on its side in a purse or tote.
What’s the weight?
Approximately 0.22 lb (64 g)
Is there a warranty?
Yes, your makeup bag is covered by a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship (stitching, hardware, zipper, lining)
Will it fit in a carry-on suitcase or weekender?
Absolutely—its footprint is designed to sit neatly in most carry-on suitcases, weekenders, handbags and gym bags.
Is this suitable as a makeup or cosmetic bag?
Yes, the water-resistant lining, interior pocketing, and structured shape make it an excellent leather cosmetic case, too.

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
This is smaller than I thought but it does the job right. Quality is unquestionable.
It's great now not loosing all the small items floating throughout my purse or back pack . I bought two and will buy more. Great for anything and everything small you don't want to loose.
Exactly what I wanted! I can't believe how amazing this is. Perfect for minimalist travel while also having a high quality feel to it
Buttery soft and made to last forever
Looks great with my Dopp kit!
I love this pencil case! Fits perfectly in my writing desk and keeps everything tidy. Pencils must be sharpened to fit - as unsharpened ones are tricky to get in - but you gotta sharpen them to use them anyway! Nothing like the smell of leather mixed with mahogany and paper. Divine.
