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.

Purse Peace! 🥰
by: Jennifer A.
I can't even describe how much I love the bucket backpack! I waited a while to make my first purchase and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! They are absolutely comfortable to wear and they hold a ton! To me, these bags really cross the style line in a great way... You can dress them up, dress them down.... Chic, shabby, boho, classy, casual, whatever you want! I love these bags so much, I have a growing collection, but Kyoto is my all-time favorite! 🦄
Portland leather customer for life
by: Lisa L.
This was my first purchase from Portland leather and I'm now a customer for life ! I love everything about it ! The color the smell and how it looks on me!
My New Go-To
by: Nancy R.
I moved in immediately with my purse organizer. This Cape Coral leather is so pebbly and soft… I am completely crazy about it. The shoulder straps are comfy. This will be my go-to travel carry. Watch for me at the airport, can’t miss my backpack!
Loved it and so I bought another!
by: Christina J.
I first picked up a Baja colored backpack because that's all they had in the store. It's very pebbly, slouchy, bright, and cheerful. It's also comfortable to wear for long periods, even when filled up. So, I ordered another in plum. It's darker colored in person than the marketing photos show. It's a very pretty neutral. I received two compliments on it the first time I wore it. Please bring brown colors back in stock so I can buy another!
Orchid Bucket Backpack - perfect imperfection
by: Pam
I couldn't love a perfect Orchid bucket backpack more than I love the two-toned beauty I received from PLG. I wasn't thrilled upon opening this backpack sold as Premium and reached out to customer service. While I waited a couple of days for a response, I kept stealing looks and by the time they offered a partial refund or exchange, I couldn't let her go. Her mismatch is well executed. The bottom, flap and straps are one shade of Orchid. The body is a second, lighter shade. I've been asking PLG to make a two-color bag through the facebook Insider's group. I got one! Every time I move my stuff to a different bag, I can't wait to go back to this one.
In loveeeee!!!!
by: Ashlyn T.
Such a great size, BEAUTIFUL color, easy to use, I also love the attention to detail where the button is because there’s room underneath to lift it up and make it quicker to close! I already want another color!
🌰Chunky Nutmeg Bucket Backpack🌰
by: Susan N.
Oh my goodness, she’s pure perfection in a backpack. Ohhhhh those chunky pebbles! I recently traveled with her and was such a wonderful traveling partner! Also, can’t beat the 40% off sale! A definite must have for your collection!!! Love love love🤎🤎🤎
Pull the trigger on this one!
by: Carrilyne
If you want a bag that goes with just about any outfit and holds everything you need for the day this is it! I love backpacks because I often need to be hands free when I am out and about! The coldbrew is beautiful dark brown with lots of chonky pebbling that makes my heart sing! So if you like a little bit of 90's "Felicity" vibes in your life get one of these!
Beautiful
by: Kathy
My chili red bucket backpack is absolutely stunning! It fits all my littles that I carry daily without making it too heavy. I am a huge fan of Portland Leather and own a lot of their bags, I only wish I would have gotten this one sooner. ❤️🥰
