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?

My ALWAYS PERFECT purse
by: Cassidy O.
To say I get the hype around PLG and that I'm fully obsessed is an understatement! I absolutely ADORE this bag! I feel like I got the BEST AP nutmeg on this planet. All the character, the mild pebbling, it is truly so SO beautiful and I cannot get enough of this bag. The medium CB is also my perfect size. It has enough room for all the essentials (full size wallet, keys, small pouch, prescription glasses case, and a tums bottle), but still has plenty of room for extra stuff like a water bottle or any small purchases I've made during the day. The cherry on top with this is bag is that it also fits into my small work locker - I usually always have to downsize to a smaller bag, but this one fits perfectly without having to squish it in, all while still carrying all the things I want! Highly highly recommend this ALWAYS PERFECT purse... because there's nothing almost perfect about it!
Beautiful
by: Jey

Bb’s first grown-up bag
by: Reagan L.
Absolutely love my bag! I wanted something that would hold my iPad Pro with a keyboard attachment, and this works perfectly. Purchased in Deep Water which is the perfect color. The blue is elegant and unexpected.
Love my new purses!
by: Audrey H.
Very happy with the crossbody mini and medium totes. As a plus size woman, the strap extensions are a godsend. I do wish my medium had a snap closure. My only criticism. I also love the tassels! Such a classy accessory!
My Favorite Bag
by: Eri N.
I received an “Almost Perfect” Medium crossbody bag in Sunflower and it’s my favorite! Love how soft it feels. Gorgeous color. It fits my essentials plus a little more like my art supplies or kids stuff. Comfortable to wear on the shoulder or crossbody. Also I like to use the handles.
Everyday Bag
by: Laurie D.
Perfect, exactly what I needed. Fits a 10.9” iPad Air very well.
Perfect size tote
by: Thao P.

Ruby Red Almost perfect Cross Body Tote is just what I was looking for. Looks Perfect to Me.
Perfection
by: Brittnay
Honey is my favorite of all the leathers offered (retired, unicorn, or other) this bag is the perfect size. I can pack as much or as little as I want. Wallet, phone, keys, a book, water bottle, multiple littles (littleleather bags at various sizes) perfume, hand sanitizer, snacks AND a bottle of wine (why waste paper when you’ve got this fantastic leather bag that can carry it for you) and probably various other things I can’t recall but this bag is the bag of all bags. Do I need another. Absolutely not. Have I already made 7 additional purchases? Yes. Man, I love this thing. And it smells. So. Good. My kid sniffs it everyday after I pick her up from school (because it’s sitting in her spot). Also, it’s soft. It’s a smooth leather but it’s so soft and will age wonderfully. It’s plain and it’s EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for my entire bag carrying life. Are you debating between zipper or no zipper? If you want it, get it! I’ll probably never zip this thing but I got it with a zipper, because WHAT IF?! And the zipper is so totally out of the way but there if you need it. THANK YOU.
Beautiful and Functional!
by: April H.
I ordered the mini crossbody first, which was too small for my daily carry. The medium size is bigger and works perfectly with a bag organizer insert. I love the deep water color so much; it’s forgiving and scratches can be brushed out with a suede brush. I also got the matching utility bag. I’m so happy with both!
Customer Reviews
Purchased for my daughter to carry her business and school necessities. Perfect little workhorse!
Great quality and love the color. Very happy with my purchase.
Hi Amber! Love hearing how happy you are with the Medium Crossbody Tote. That color really stands out alongside the quality. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤️
I got a classic and I love it so much! Would have gotten a zipper but they wrre out. Was surprised it didn't have a snap like mini cbt does. It will spill over in the car so I ordered some snaps off Amazon to modify it
This bag is beautiful! I love her orange color and the variation in pebbling of the leather. She is the perfect spring and summer bag.
Excited to shop at the new downtown Seattle store. This bag clicked all the boxes for me, especially with the insert. It fits my iPad w/ case, all necessary purse contents with organization, outside pocket for easy phone access, a zipper to protect me from theft and a cross body to allow me hands free. Extra points because the cross body strap can be changed out. I was given a Portland leather bag several years ago and the patina of the leather is beautiful - I look forward to a similar worn color with this beautiful leather.
