Make your bag your own with our colorful collection of leather accessories!
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?

Great New style!! Love it!!
by: Robyn O.
I wanted to try the new Monaco but the color I wanted kept selling out. Finally got my hands on two of them!! Absolutely adore these bags! I love small bags so went for the small size. It's awesome! Holds way more than I would have thought! Currently have a taco tassel, a small Luna, a Gordita and a dopp key chain all fitting comfortably in it. Super stylish!!
More than expected
by: Wendy K.
When this little bag came out I was instantly in love. I thought I wanted the large, but glad I went with a small. I kept looking at the large and going back to the thought I wish they had made the flap longer to mimic the small. Ultimately, I bought the small. It fits everything I need and it is the perfect crossbody. It can be worn as a casual bag or a little more, especially depending on the color.
Purse Peace!
by: Alice M.
I never liked purses with flaps, but I just had to try this one because the small is so cute and sheek. It’s the perfect size for me since I also love the small bucket bag and the small koala.
Small black Monaco
by: Jessica O.
I have a couple other PLG bags, but I didn’t have a black one. I looked a lot before choosing a black Monaco. I LOVE it. I also added a Javelin crossbody strap and Mockingbird pouch. I don’t carry a lot of things with me usually, so the small size is perfect for me. I absolutely love it.
My heart belongs to Larkspur Monaco
by: Sandie S.
I bought both sizes on the second drop of these BEAUTIFUL BAGS. I love the Larkspur leather so much. I will also buy this if it shows up in Evergreen or Westward blue. 💜💙💚
Monaco
by: Melisenda A.
Didn’t think I would love this bag but it ended up being perfect in every way. I got the small in smooth black and replaced the cross body strap with a chain strap and I feel like it elevates the bag to another level Anyway get this bag if you are on the fence
Love Love Love the Monaco
by: Brenda A.
I can’t believe how cute these bags are!! Hold way more than i imagined and I hope they come out in my colors!!!

Love the Larkspur I got. Holds more than you'd think
by: Natassia B.
I am thankful mine didn't have something wrong with the flap being too long or their being a weird dimple on the front. Mine seems perfect so far. Packed it with my normal essentials, and it fits a lot more than I thought it would. Larkspur is a lovely color. I'd have to say for the most part it looks like a plum version of Merlot. But in the shade it looks more purple.
Stone is the perfect classy neutral
by: Noelle S.
I purchased the large Monaco in Stone. I tend towards more vibrant colors but needed a neutral and this is perfect! Great size for those who don’t carry a lot, and the magnet closure seemed strong. I made a little tassel for the front to give it a little more personality 💛
Monaco 💜 Larkspur 💜 Love
by: Karen K.
The style of the bag is just awesome. I like the large size and yet it doesn't look large when carried. Holds the things I need leaving nothing behind. Larkspur is a win!!! I just love the waxed leathers.
What a Winner!
by: Laura M.
I got a large Monaco in Chocolate Brown on launch day, and it instantly became my favorite PLG bag! It is the perfect size for all my daily carry items, it sits so comfortably against my body, and it can easily be casual or more dressy depending on how you dress it up. The Chocolate Brown leather is SO silky smooth and is just perfection in this style!
Sienna Large Monaco
by: Elizabeth H.
I love my new bag. It fits the same items as my Large Sloan. I like the way it lays on my hip. I will be investing in another color.
Supple
by: Penny B.
This purse in wasabi is the perfect purse! It is soft and supple. This bag in size large is the perfect size for me. All of my usual things I carry fit just right. I’d love to get this in every color!
Customer Reviews
Love the style, size & color (chili red) of this beautiful Monaco crossbody! Looks more dressed up!
For it being am “almost perfect” purchase, it’s seem perfect too me. I LOVE this bag and it is bigger than I thought and the Madrone color is just fantastic!
I have ordered from this company a few times and mostly bought Almost Perfect items including this handbag. I like that the leather has some “glitches” in it. To me that adds character to the product. Knowing that the entire bag is actually leather and for the price, you can’t beat it in my opinion. I also have two wallets by PLG that i wll keep forever! Quality is great so far. I also purchased a passport cover from PLG; super soft! Thanks PLG!
Love the size and color.
I love this crossbody! It looks, "perfect" if you ask me!
