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.

Beautiful Montana in Iris
by: Michele V.
The Iris flower is a symbol of- Faith, hope, wisdom and courage. My new Iris Montana is a symbol of my- Joy, Triumph, Bliss and Rejuvenation! I tried to capture the excitement in pictures. 🤣💕 The leather is soft, amazing pebbles, and phenomenal rich color. I am also very pleased with the amount of items I can fit in this bag yet I can carry very little as well - feels great either way! Have a great day on PURPOSE! ☀️
Coldbrew Montana
by: Emily J.
This is a beautiful bag! I love the coldbrew leather - soft and pliable but still sturdy. This is a great size. Holds almost everything my N/S Lola holds. No outside pocket gives clean lines, and size I use this as a work bag I don't miss it. I love the key loop on the outside for bag flair / keys. Handles are a great length and width. They're perfect for a shoulder carry.
Iris Montana so pretty
by: Faiza M.
This color is amazing. And the tote handles are easy to get on and off my shoulder. Spacious too. The little metal loop for flair is a nice touch! Thai bag is so nice I bought it twice! (Nutmeg too)
A giant squishy bag!
by: Diana N.
This Koi tote is a mass of marshmallow goodness in my favorite shade. I can find no flaws that caused it to be almost perfect! For me, she is a perfect carry.
Forest Montana tote
by: Tricia
I purchased this bag because I really wanted a bag in forest, and I thought it would be a good substitute for the full size crossbody tote which I love. The leather is beautiful- nice and thick with a good amount of body without being too stiff. The style is cute- with the band and the flair hardware. The size is very close to the size of a FSCB, and the straps are a good length and comfortable. It’s a beautiful bag, but I really miss the outside pocket and the hardware for a crossbody ( I clip my keys to the hardware) that the FSCB tote has.
Iris Montana Tote
by: Jenn W.
I am not usually a “tote girl” but as soon as I saw this was releasing in Iris I knew I needed it. As always PLG doesn’t disappoint, the leather is beautiful and squishy and perfect for a daily carry
Great size
by: Lynda Y.
I love the size and style of the Market Tote. The handles are soft and stay on my shoulders. I use my large organizer and a small eclipse inside. The Pebbled Black is such a classic and I'm sure will only get softer and better with time.
Customer Reviews
This was my second PLG purchase in cognac. Size and structure are great. Love the width of the straps and the small loop on the outside for flair. I love that the cognac is stiffer with more structure. Let's talk about the quality and smell.....pure love.
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" Seriously though, I LOVE this bag! I previously purchased the Naomi Shoulder Bag (also in Nutmeg) to go along with my August Tote that I use as a work bag (yes, also in Nutmeg). But I was looking for something in between the two that was a little bigger to hold some additional items but not too big . The Montana Tote was the answer. It holds everything I need without feeling overstuffed or bulky. I can keep my notebook portfolio in there along with my Utility Bag, Sidekick Pouch, and Lily Wristlet (yes…. all in Nutmeg). Would 100% buy again, maybe in a different color 😊
I think this is one of the best looking bags that PLG has made. It carries a subtle elegance that some of the other totes lack. I went for the AP cognac and I absolutely love it! It feels so soft and smells heavenly. Plus, you have to love that little attached d ring on the outside for flair purposes. It’s a bigger bag than I actually need, but it’s just right when I need to carry extra. Truly lovely!
Really enjoy this Tote bag! It is just perfect size for personal carry. Probably not big enough to add any work items in but could carry for work separately. I love the design and with the added stitching and metal details the structure of the bag so it holds shape and the Mango color is a beautiful bright natural looking leather color.
Lovely color, terrific leather. Gift for a busy Mom with youngsters who loves the "professional" look that holds what she needs when working and "mom-ing".
