Our durable leather goods are unlined, featuring the natural suede side of the hide. Since fabric-lined bags inevitably discolor and tear with use, we chose to showcase the soft sueded underside of our hides, ensuring that your bag lasts a lifetime.
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.
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. Our 'Almost Perfect' bags are never defective or damaged; we know you'll love yours as much as we do.
When this happens, you save big!

Our Full-Grain Leather
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 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.

Just received my Lagoon mini crossbody. The leather has a lot of variations, on one side of the front pocket it is completely smooth. First I didn't like it, but now the more I look at it, I totally fell in love with it. It has a lot of pull-up, and so much character. I would probably only buy Almost Perfect, as these bags are so unique! Lagoon is my favorite leather, so squishy!

A Great Bag
by: Katherine R.
I love this backpack and color! The leather is vibrant and it's such a cool color, looks great inside and spectacular out in the sunlight. It is pretty soft, although I'm sure it will soften a lot more with use. There is one small pocket inside and the flap is doubled over leather that creates a kind of pocket as well. One part that I'm not entirely sure how to deal with is the straps. They're really quite long and leave a lot of tail when I'm wearing it. There is no way in the bag design to deal with the extra (nothing to hold them, or fold them in somehow). I'm wondering if I should cut the long dangling tails? If PLG has any suggestions on how they are meant to be handled I'd be happy to hear
Got it for a trip, and now use it all the time
by: NANCY F.
What a cute bag. It was perfect for a purse/day bag on a trip. The front inner pocket on the flap was a nice surprise, and I tucked my passport there. It’s quickly becoming a go to bag for everyday.
Gorgeous Cape Coral
by: Jennifer C.
It’s my first bucket backpack and it’s love! Fits essentials for a day out and about. Cape Coral is a gorgeous, squishy, pebbled leather that I find so luxurious!
My peace purse
by: Linda G.
Never in my life have I imagined I would have a baby blue backpack that I would carry around with me literally EVERYWHERE! For some reason, the construction of this bag makes it super lightweight. I'm notoriously a small bag gal, but now I feel free to carry my giant Sylvia Plath reader for those just-in-case moments. Plus my headphones, an outfit, a snack - all the essentials ;-) thanks PLG <3
Sangria bucket backpack
by: Emily C.
This sangria backpack is so beautiful! The color is not too red, looks very yummy! Leather is soft. Very comfortable to wear. Not heavy, not stuffy or sweaty on my back. Picture with coldbrew small bucket & sunflower mini crossbody.
Love the bucket backpack!
by: Julia G.
I haven't carried a backpack since High School, which is over 20 years ago now... And I honestly thought the idea of carrying a backpack without a front or back pocket would drive me insane, so I held off on this even though I love the bucket style. However, I'm SO glad I finally tried it and I love it so much that I actually own two: Coldbrew and Sangria 😅🤦 (and believe me, my handbag obsession is real so I really didn't need two🤣...). Although not having an outside pocket does bother me sometimes, it's actually not as big of a deal as I thought because the bucket style allows for such easy access that it works as is! And the wide straps are so, so comfortable and never, ever fall off or slide on my teeny, small boned frame. I like to wear it either on one shoulder or both and both options are perfectly comfy! I love the Tote backpack and the Bucket backpack and have a hard time switching back to a regular handbag when carrying a lot. This bag is truly beautiful and so well designed. PLG is my fav!
I love it
by: Traci T.
The size is perfect, it wears comfortably, there is a pocket inside and one in the flap. I got mine in the cape coral color and I wasn't expecting it to be as soft and beautiful as it is. I liked it so much I've ordered a second one.
IN LOVE
by: Nichole C.
I purchased a bucket backpack in nutmeg and I've been carrying it since it arrived. I absolutely love it!
Flamenco is a great color with nice pebbles!
by: RK
I really love the leather and the color of my new backpack. I got the AP version and it has some differences in pebbling and some stretch marks—which are both features that I love. I haven’t yet used the bag, beyond trying on and filling, yet, because I’m considering putting it aside for my husband to give me for Christmas, if I can handle the wait. I feel lucky to have gotten this nice red color and I don’t know if it will be around to buy when Christmas rolls around.
Customer Reviews
Literally the most amazing bag ever. Mine had wrinkles on the bottom of the bag and I am in love with the character. It’s SO comfortable to hold (I get shoulder pain) and I can carry books, journals, snacks, all my essentials, my kindle, and so much more!!! It’s great to take to picnics, day trips, and carry everyday. The leather is such nice quality. I purchased the coldbrew!
I love the bucket backpacks but I wasn’t crazy about the color.
I did return it, I think I just really like color, I have this ame backpack in Baja and Caspian.
Love these bags! Beautiful colors 😍
I was wanting a backpack to take the weight off my shoulders. This one is still big enough to fit a lot but cute & small. It wears so well!
Exactly what I was looking for to use for day trips. Surprisingly amount of space for such a small backpack!
