Our durable leather goods are unlined, featuring the natural suede side of the hide. Because leather is a natural material, slight color and batch variations are normal. Factors like hide age, season, and dye absorption can all affect the final shade, making each piece uniquely yours.
Our 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 & 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.
Almost perfect
Premium Collection
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.
Savings
Almost Perfect items can feature more prominent character marks than our Premium line, and/or small stitching variations, showcasing the aesthetic variety of our natural hides and handmade designs.
Why do you use leather with prominent character marks in the first place?
We only qualify Almost Perfect in terms of cosmetic irregularities that have absolutely no impact on the quality or durability of our products. Rather, we figured that it'd be a shame to waste such beautiful and functional leather, so we decided to sell it at a discounted price.
What type of imperfection will I get with this bag?
Each of our Almost Perfect bags is one of a kind! While we can't say for sure which one you'll receive, some common character marks our customers find are pebbling and color variation, scars and striations, or a stitch out of place. That being said, rest assured that none of these "imperfections" will impact the functionality of the bag in any way!
What if I don't love my Almost Perfect bag?
Everything from our Almost Perfect collection (excluding Mystery Box bundles) falls under our usual return policy. For more detailed information, visit our Returns page.

Love this bag!

I purchased the AP Aspen in Sienna and I love it! It’s very comfortable. Sienna is so pretty too.
Beautiful color and

Beautiful color and bag
Amazing Aspen!
by: Savannah
This was my FIRST purchase and I was so torn on which bag to get. After much deliberation, I stepped out of my comfort zone and opted for a shoulder bag, the AP large Aspen in Coldbrew. I could not be happier with my purchase! The smell, the perfect slouch, and the color just blew me away. I have purse peace after only one bag!(though that won't stop me from buying more lol)
Stunning and super useful!
by: Jenna
I’m absolutely obsessed with this gorgeous bag!! I got the large in black and thought it might be too large, but once it’s on, the way it slouches makes it look very nice. You can fit so much inside! This will be great for winters here in northern Illinois when I need to carry a hat, gloves, and a scarf with me! But I’ve also been loving styling it this summer too :) Definitely my new favorite bag!
My new Mary Poppins bag
by: Judy H.
I was so excited for this bag to arrive. I ordered a large AP pebbled black and then decided to also order medium AP sienna. Instant love with the black..Its so beautiful. It feels luxurious. I thought I was going to retun the sienna, but then I moved into her and she's a great daily carry bag. I like the medium so much I am about to order another color.
❤️❤️❤️
by: T.K.
The Aspen is such a great bag. I have purchased both sizes, medium and large. I use my small PLG purse organizer. The only thing I wish it had a key holder but I still love it without it!!
Gorgeous Aspen
by: Veronica G.
This has to be my new favorite bag. I now have this bag in medium and large and can't decide what I like more. It holds everything I could possibly want and more. Such a sophisticated style. I'm wearing the medium in seaglass in this picture. It's absolutely perfect.
Aspen shoulder bag large plum
by: Maxie
I normally stick to neutrals, but bought this bag in plum. I love it! Debated between the regular and large and personally, could have went with the regular as it is wide toward the bottom. It doesn’t feel bulky on shoulder. Added the canvas insert which fits perfectly and keeps all items organized.
Amazing!!
by: Denise A.
I absolutely love this bag. It’s such a beautiful color, spacious bag. Def my go to. I hope they have this bag is more colors like Kyoto. Love love love!!
Absolutely Gorgeous

Love my large Sienna Aspen! She just glows in the sunshine!
Aspen Bag
by: Diane
Love, love love my new Chili Red Large Aspen Bag! The color is perfect for anytime of year but particularly for Fall/Winter. It is a nice big bag. Perfect size to carry all or your essential AND non essential stuff! 😊
Loving the OS Aspen!!
by: Jessica M.
I am a huge fan of oversized bags and I am absolutely in love with the OS Aspen! Purchased in Asheville which is a beautiful neutral color that goes with just about anything. I tend to carry a lot and this bag fits it all with no issue. I did add an organizer to the inside as it doesn't have any internal pockets. For reference, I am 5'10, size 3X, so this bag fits me well. May look too large on a smaller frame.
Love my Large Aspen
by: Julie N.
It is the perfect size to hold all the things yet tucks comfortably under my arm and doesn’t slide off the shoulder. My favorite feature is that it sits up nicely, even when overloaded and doesn’t tip over, which drives me nuts. I ordered Chili Red for my winter everyday carry. I am tempted to grab another color as well.
Awesome bag!!
by: Gail B.
I was tempted by the new Sienna color to try this new bag style and I have to say I do love this bag!! I’m normally a tote backpack girl, but was intrigued by this new style and color and happy I tried it! It’s a keeper and at this price point it is a bargain!! I did have to use a PLG organizer due to no pockets, but it worked like a charm. Great bag!!

Aspen is my favorite bag
by: Deborah l.
Aspen is my favorite bag. Very squishy smells wonderful. The one side has some discolored dye patterns. That's my reason for only a four star
Customer Reviews
I can’t find what makes it almost perfect. The color is amazing and the slouch is beautiful. I can fit a lot for a medium. I have a large pouch, a book, a wallet, my glasses case and there’s still room to spare.
It’s a really nice everyday bag.
I can’t find anything wrong with it to make it “almost perfect.” The color is gorgeous. The slouch is exactly what I wanted. For a medium it is really spacious. I can fit a large pouch, glasses case, wallet and a paperback book with room to spare.
It’s a really good bag for everyday.
Oh my goodness!! Can we say PERFECT BAG FOR
I wasn't sure about this bag but I bought one and now it's one of my favorite carries. Very roomy and comfortable on my shoulders.
I was skeptical of the Aspen at first but now I own 6! I can’t get enough of that slouchy profile
