What is “Almost Perfect”?
It’s the lowest price on all of our best selling leather goods! Our artisans have very high standards. Sometimes we come across hides with more natural character marks. Other times we notice a small imperfection on a finished product such as a slight color variation or a messy stitch or two.
When this happens, you save big!
No coupon needed! The maximum discount has already been applied to all items in the Almost Perfect Sale section.
Even on “Almost Perfect” items our quality is guaranteed! If you're not happy with your deal, send it right back according to our standard return policy.
The Leather
Our U.S.-sourced oil tanned leather is incredibly easy to care for. With time and use, the natural oils in the leather will rise to the surface, developing a beautiful patina and smoothing any scuffs or scratches that may have accumulated. Learn more about caring for your new leather product.
Our full-grain leather is the strongest and most durable available, and the unique texture and natural imperfections from the cow’s life have not been sanded, cut or shaved off. Full-grain is SIX times stronger than Buffed, Upholstery or Genuine leather.
Please note that our pebbled leather, like all of our leather, is a natural product. You may notice changes in grain or texture throughout your bag. Other companies artificially press a pebble texture into their leather. However, the pebbling of our leather is achieved naturally through an extra tumbling process which leaves some areas of the hide smoother than others.
SMALL: Great for those that travel light on the daily – it can fit a water bottle, snacks, book, wallet, and sunglasses comfortably. Measures 10” wide across the base, 13” wide across the top, 4.5” deep and 11.5” tall.
MEDIUM: Can fit a water bottle, snacks, a book, wallet, sunglasses and a 13” Macbook snugly. Measured 10.5” wide across the base, 15” wide across the top, 5.5” deep, and 12” tall.
LARGE: Fits a water bottle, snacks, book, wallet, sunglasses, back-up shirt, and a 15” Macbook snugly. Measures 11” wide across the base, 18” wide across the top, 6” deep, and 12” tall.
OVERSIZED: Fits all that plus a pair of jeans and a larger laptop comfortably. Measures 13.5” wide across the base, 21” wide across the top, 6” deep, and 13” tall.
The drop length for all of our handles is 10.5” regardless of the size of the tote, and suits most!

This is my first PLG bag and I’m in love. It far exceeded my expectations. I got the medium open tote and it has the perfect amount of room for my daily life. The handle fits as I like on my shoulder. The pebble leather will hold up for many years to come. I’m sure this won’t be my last purchase from this wonderful company.
This bag was represented to be an oversized large bag but it's actually a medium size bag. Doesn't seem too sturdy and concerned about the strength of the bag straps. Not happy.
Im crazy about my AP oversized storm tote. It fits so much and is the most beautiful grey blue. I was excited for my first bag having tan handles and I much prefer the dark brown handles now. These handles are so dry feeling they almost feel cardboard and the color cracked a bit as I was working them trying to soften them. The small cracks are unnoticeable unless the handle is bent tightly. Im going to try using a conditioner on them and see if that helps. Overall I love it and am very happy. Photo is large cognac vs oversized storm
Look, I get that my tote is classified as "Almost Perfect" but I'm hard pressed to find any flaws. The grey is a beautiful cloudy slate. The nutmeg straps perfectly align on the tote...there's nothing "almost" about this bag, it's perfect.
Also, it fits a laptop, folio and water bottle perfectly.
Just received this beautiful AP Storm small classic tote. Soft and the perfect size. AP ? I can't anything wrong with it. I'm going to dress her up with some purse bling for the Fall.
This purse is amazing! I have the OS tote in coldbrew. I originally bought it as an everyday mom bag. But I've quickly learned it's better for Sundays at churches where we are there for 6+ hours holding everything we need as a family of 4. It literally holds so much with room for more! For reference, I am 4'11", a medium/large clothing size!
