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.
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?

Lovely Lola
by: Celena V.
I love my east west Lola in Chestnut ! I think a smooth structured leather is better for this style
Berry Good(ness)
by: Brenda C.
What a beautiful bag! My very first EW Lola and she does NOT disappoint! The color is so rich and inviting. The size is absolutely perfect for days I need to carry a little extra! Question is what color do I need next?!?!
Large Lola Love!
by: Lissa S.
The size is a perfect width to hold my MacBook Pro 16” laptop in its sleeve plus carry all my essentials (sticks out the top about 2 inches which is fine). It has a structured professional look, and I prefer the handles over the crossbody strap but options are always good. I’ve pretty much only purchased AP items and have been very pleased with the quality. I love cognac and its rich color!!
Classic and Gorgeous
by: Lesley T.
Love the E/W Lola- big enough for all my essentials and small enough not to overwhelm me. Here she is in Beluga (beautiful ❤️) and a little Deep Water flair.
Love it!
by: KITTY T.
Had to take her outside to get the gorgeous Aruba colour to photograph right (this still doesnt do it justice!) But my E/W Lola is all dressed up and ready for work! She barely fits my laptop(14"x9.25" for anyone wondering), but it's workable! And my Kindle Scribe and daily stuff fits beautifully even with a laptop stuffed in there diagonally. I love the over-the-shoulder/ crossbody option, and the zipper too! Really it's an amazing bag.
Bag I didn’t know I needed
by: Kelley W.
I didn’t plan in getting this bag since I wasn’t a fan of the north south version, but this is the bag I didn’t know I needed. By far my favorite PLG bag!
Love it !
by: Jane
I love m’y Lola!!! She fits all the contents of my laptop backpack + more. My 13.5 laptop fits along with all my office essential. Yes she’s big but she is classy, sturdy, and a staple in my closet.
Lovely Lola!
by: Christi S.
The new east/west Lola is great when you need a bigger bag but still want structure.
Beautiful
by: Carol C.
I was so happy (and relieved) that my large Lola aqua tote was flawless. Just so gorgeous. Same with the second aqua I bought. Perfection. When PLG does it right, you can't beat them. I like that my laptop fits in the tote really easily. I feel lucky because there is definitely a quality control issue with these bags. I can't lie about that. But all of mine have been gorgeous and perfect. I am not going to break my aquas out til after the holidays (am carrying Anjou and Sangria over these holidays) but it's stunning. Just stunning. I might be bringing it to Maui at the end of January.
Love this E/W Lola!!
by: Cynthia S.
I honestly was unsure of the Lola bag but wanted to try the east/west version in surf. SO glad I did!! It is the right size!!
Def a great buy!
by: Jessica
So I'm not a huge fscb fan. Not sure why, I think it's bc they're super slouchy. I wanted more structure. Lola is perfect! She's a bit on the heavy side but that's probably bc Dakota is heavier also bc the way the panels need to be sewn to be structured. That being said, it doesn't bother me much, if it gets heavy I pull the strap out and cb it. Love the color, the size is great, can fit a bunch of books a utility, journal etc etc. It's such a good size! I bought a second bc it was such a good fit for my lifestyle!
Favorite PLG Bag
by: Kate M.
This has become my favorite bag hands-down. It’s the perfect dimensions for a work bag. My laptop is 12.5 in and fits perfectly, along with all its accessories. The black is so beautiful and classic. I love the structure of the bag.
Gorgeous!
by: Vickie R.
I took my new large zip Lola out for the first time today and she is a stunner! She holds quite a bit and has both an inside and outside pocket. The styling of this bag is very classy!
Chestbut East West Lola
by: Karen P.
My chestnut East West Lola is beautiful! When I first got it, I thought it was too big for me...I was wrong!
Customer Reviews
I am loving this bag! Size is perfect! Fits everything I need plus room for more! No marks or scratches. Just amazing 👏
I ordered the North South Lola in Cognac and I’m obsessed. Fits all my usual purse things plus my notebook and laptop with room for more. Crossbody strap is nice when the bag gets heavy. Highly recommend this bag!
Hi Alyssa! Obsessed is the best word! The Large Lola Zipper Crossbody Tote in Cognac is built to carry it all! Roomy enough for a laptop and notebook, with a crossbody strap that really helps when it’s loaded up. Thanks for the recommendation!😊
Omg!! I finally got a Portland Leather bag!!! Absolutely LOVE it!!!
Very happy with this purchase. Bought as alternative to briefcase for regular and legal sized folders + it works great. Also fits my laptop. Chocolate color is beautiful -- like a piece of milk chocolate.
Amazing soft leather, roomy construction. Perfect for traveling.
