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.

Almost perfect Chonky cold brew
by: Katie R.
When I first started shopping PLG products this was the bag I initially chose to be my first purchase. When I saw orchid I flip-flopped. A few weeks ago there was a free add on with the canvas organizer and I said "heck yeah!" Now I have this beautifully pebbled cold brew mini crossbody and I love her! The inside of the hide is so soft, it smells amazing as always. Best I can tell about it being almost perfect is, the shorter adjustable strap which is perfect for me since I'm 5'2. A win with this gorgeous bag❣️
Great Fall Color
by: Theresa P.
I love my Dakota mini CB! It’s the perfect fall color.
Perfect
by: Marie
If you’re around 5’2” like me, this is the perfect size for your things and the last hole on the strap makes for the perfect drop length. The bag depth is perfect to fit your small wallet (I have their small envelope one), keys, a bottle of water, snacks, and other small misc items. I have this bag in nutmeg too and I can see why other people are obsessed with PLG! Everything is so well made, perfect, and smells so good. FYI, I was able to return an online purchase at their retail store in Portland. No exchanges at their store, just returns. And then if you find something you like instead, you can just buy it there :)

Mini CB
by: Tina Z.
Something about this mini CB, it’s so beautiful squishy and cobalt is everything!! I just love it!
Love it!
by: karina n.
I ordered the mini tote bag in nutmeg. It’s a lot more red than anticipated but I still like it. I love the size for every day. Is there an in between size from the regular and mini?? I want to try other bags. Love the texture and slouchiness of the pebbled leather .
Koi makes me so happy
by: Catharine P.
I can't find a single thing wrong with this Almost Perfect bag. This is my third Mini Crossbody and it's my favorite one yet. The color is happy (my photo doesn't do it justice), and the leather smells amazing. Another win for PLG!
AP Ruby Mini Crossbody Did Not Disappoint
by: Donna G.
I’m loving my “Almost Perfect” Ruby! Goes perfectly with my Birkenstock Fire Red Arizonas. So far, AP products have all been lovely for me!
Stunning Sunflower 🌻 Mini Cross Body
by: Susan N.
She’s a beauty! Love the Mini CB’s and Sunflower certainly did not disappoint!!! The leather is gorgeous, firm yet pliable. Picture is with the Multi Strap (purchased separately), a Taco 🌮 keychain and Petunia Pouch, both in Sunflower 🌻. The bag does come with the matching leather crossbody strap in Sunflower (not pictured). My apologies for the lack of sunshine in the picture. Can’t control Mother Nature. If you’re on the fence about purchasing, don’t wait. You will not be sorry!💛💛💛
Beautiful, functional and quality Mini CB
by: Deborah G.
This was my first PLG purchase, a basic Black Pebbled AP Mini Crossbody. I'm happy to say I'm very pleased. The soft pebbled leather is beautiful, structure is sturdy, size is adequate for my needs, and overall quality is great. I'm glad to have the small canvas organizer also. It will be an everyday bag and be used for years. This won't be my last purchase, but what a challenge to decide what's next, with so many styles and colors from which to choose!
East coast sunflower
by: Millie P.
My mini crossbody made her maiden voyage accompanying West coast designer Lesley Evers shirt and skort. Love the sunflower color; it goes with everything. And the size is perfect for a short gal (5’2”). Also got the matching rancher wallet. So happy with both pieces!
It's perfect
by: Lori
I have never ever been one to care about purses. I usually buy what's functional and don't give it a second thought. But when I needed a new purse, internet searching lead me to PLG. I loved the whole process of buying this purse. The scrolling, the research, the anticipation, the wondering if it would be as good as everyone said, etc. It took 6 days from order to holding and I've had it now about 2 weeks. The meadow is gorgeous. My hands keep wandering to feel the texture. It holds the essentials plus so much more. Plus, every time my eye catches it sitting on the corner, I smile. Like, really smile. This is so unlike me and I'm loving every minute of it!
Western feel
by: Mercedez L.
Loving this mini cb. I got the color Dakota. It’s perfect, such a beautiful color. She’s so fun to dress up. She pairs well with so many other colors. Definitely a must have.
Highest Quality and I am in LOVE
by: One c.
I ordered the green version of this bag and I am so impressed with the quality, durability and fast shipping of this “Almost Perfect” bag. The creators truly are picky about their work because I found NOTHING wrong and neither did my boyfriend, father, and mother. I love leather and it’s been hard for me to find the perfect purse that is high quality and also inexpensive. The “Almost Perfect” bags fit all of the requirements for this. It also smells amazing!! 10/10
Cabo Love 🩵
by: Elizabeth M.
The mini-cb tote in Cabo is just gorgeous! I love the slight shimmer and color is perfect for me. Very happy with this purchase ! I definitely hope to see more in Cabo.
Customer Reviews
Absolutely love it!
I love this tote. My first PLG purse was a Mini crossbody in Coldbrew. My new organizer fits in it perfectly.
I LOVE the chili red color! The MCBT is smaller than what i usually carry (OS Devan) but it’s awesome for day trips where I don’t want to carry a huge bag. It’s big enough for essentials but still light and comfy to carry. I’m undecided on the organizer/ i like the utility of it- but it takes away room for stuff!
The mini crossbody is compact, yet it still holds what I need it to. I like that there's enough vertical space for my water. Cobalt is a truly inspiring color--what combo could be better than blue and purple? 💜💙
I have had my eye on this bag, but had to finally get it when it came with a free gift . The size is perfect and I love the Nutmeg leather.
