- Available in two sizes
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?
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 the color
by: Zuzana K.
I love this green apple color. It's so vivid. The bag is spacious enough for a celle phone,wallet, keys and lipstick. Just about all a girls need. The quality is great. Love the leather thickness
Perfect Purse
by: Michael J.
This is a great midsize purse. Carries all the essentials. This is a Forest Green Mini Metro. My first purse of this size. The leather is stiffer than my other pebbled leathers but still very nice.
I love my bag! 😩❤️
by: Veronica B.
I love my bag. I love the way it looks and how durable it is. It’s really a fanatic bag. The strap is adjustable (and plus size friendly) if you’re someone looking for more comfortable around the chest area. I enjoy wearing cross bodies so this bag was definitely ideal to had to my wardrobe. Also the genuine leather - smells amazing! Ha! 😆
Medium Cognac is perfection!
by: CJH
Cognac is quickly becoming one of my favorite leathers of all time! It’s the perfect combination of soft and structured and is so rich with lots of depth and character. It pairs nicely with the Medium Metro. This bag, to me, is just a little bit dressier than some of my others. I feel so classy when I carry her! She holds everything I need but doesn’t allow for getting overstuffed, which is a good thing! My bifold wallet, mini envelope, keys, and a taco pouch all fit nicely. I think this bag would also be stunning in Harbor and Berry Good. Hopefully she’ll be released in more colors soon!
Dakota Metro Crossbody - two thumbs up
by: Patricia G.
I love the texture, color and size of my new purse. I purchased a fun strap, simply because I wanted a little flare and extra width strap. I looked at this purse for a long time, my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. My phone and Portland Leather bifold wallet fit snug, along with a few essentials (lipgloss, nail file & pen).
Dakota!
by: Christy
I was looking at bags, spend much to much time doing. Saw the Dakota. It’s So pretty it became a have to have! It’s a mini, so it’s a great bag for going out to dinner, or quick errand . A perfect neutral will go with anything pictured with my very first back pack, arrived the same day. This AP was Perfect!
Lightweight Staple
by: April
Love this for daily use and travel. Holds a lot without being heavy or bulky. Perfect size for essentials and then some!
Beautiful metro meadow
by: KTG
My first metro and I like stamp leather so much I also bought it in butterfly. I bought AP metro, and there’s no double stamping. Leather smells great. Only a few minor scratches it came with it inside but it’s suede so it brushed right off. This purse fit my iPhone and long checkbook wallet nicely with some room for car key, lipstick and hand sanitizer. I highly recommend it.
Spicy not ruby
by: Brad G.
My wife loves this purse, but she says it’s not a ruby red, it’s more of a spicy red. She likes that it is small enough for an evening bag or a cross body bag for a day of antiquing, but big enough to hold a phone, card wallet, and sunglasses. She loves the minimal hardware and adjustable strap.
Sweet Mini Metro
by: COLLEEN R.
Love this little cross body mini Metro in Grizzly. Very close in size to the new Parker (Parker has divider pouches where Metro has one big open space with a small inside pocket and is a tad bit larger and more of a chubby rectangle than a skinny rectangle) Metro lays East/West on body versus Parker laying North/South on body. The Grizzly color is elegant for formal or rugged depending on occasion. I was not a brown fan but now I have a Coldbrew Festival and this mini Metro in Grizzly and the color reminds me of a Hershey chocolate bar. It really is the perfect brown… pebbled or smooth.

It's the perfect size for everyday use great color

I love ruby red
by: Sirena
I have been waiting for Portland Leather to make a red purse & out of all the styles that come in ruby, the medium metro crossbody just looked right. I usually prefer a zippered purse but this one is so cute and the magnets really are strong. It gives very easy access & is a great size to hold what you need without too much weight on your shoulders. I used it at the airport and still felt my purse items were secure. I love it! I have a pair of cowboy boots the same color. Just for reference, I added a picture of the metro next to the poppy purse- very similar in size.
Perfect size for on the go
by: Tiffany
I have always preferred small bags and crossbody styles due to security and keeping my hands free. This is my first PLG purchase (and came on the same day as my daughters cb mini even tho we ordered separate) they surpassed all expectations. The leather smelled so good and sunflower is just gorgeous. Not too yellow & not quite tan. That perfect in between that goes with any season and every outfit. The metro is a perfect balance of soft & squishy but plenty of structure to keep its shape. It holds all the things I normally carry. Small wallet, little zip pouch for gift cards, keys, sanitizer, phone, mini deodorant, lip balm, small case for vitamins, dental picks/floss. I use the inside pocket to keep my smaller items organized and keep my phone in the main area. My kindle with a slim case also fits even with all the other things listed. I was attracted to the metro for its size but I was initially nervous about the magnetic closure, I didn’t want to have to worry about my stuff spilling out all the time. For anyone else concerned-no worries. This magnet is mighty! I have turned it upside down & even shook it and it didn’t budge. Also the way the top flap fits even my little things stayed put. All that being said, somehow it opens nice & easy when u want to get in the bag. If you are on the fence I highly recommend, the metro is such a fun and cute companion, I think with the original strap it would also be classy enough for more formal events.
Almond Mini Metro ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
by: Courtney B.
I’ve always been a fan of the smooth, buttery leathers that break in and show patina, but when I saw almond in person in the mini metro, I had to use her right away! She accompanied me and our new boy that we rescued in late February to the vet today. Inside I had a PLG bifold, PLG mini snap wallet, dog meds, keys, phone, lip oil and lip gloss. This little beauty holds far more than you’d think and will be perfect for spring and summer!
Practically Perfect in Almost Every Way
by: Nancy R.
This almost perfect Peacock is the colorful carry I was looking for. PLG does it again. Thank you for supporting my purse obsession!
LOVE
by: Lauren G.
I am in LOVE with this little crossbody! Love it so much that I need about 8 more PLG purses!
Large metro with pebbled leather
by: Susan D.
My cobalt blue large metro arrived just in Time to use it while attending the Doo Woo project. Large bags are not allowed so this was the perfect bag. It was so soft and roomy .My son commented on the quality of the leather. I love it ! Thanks PLG PS my son is standing behind me.
Elegant things come in small packages
by: ANGELA S.
I absolutely love 💗 this bag, from running around town to an elegant night out this small bag is perfect for small wallet, lipstick,phone and key set for traveling about. I adore the dalia pattern reminiscent of Mexican embossed patterns, can be dressed up or toned down. Love this bag!!
