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.
What is 'Almost Perfect'?
It’s the lowest price on all of our best-selling leather goods! Our artisans have very high standards. Sometimes we come across hides with more natural character marks. Other times we notice a small imperfection on a finished product such as a slight color variation or a messy stitch or two. Our 'Almost Perfect' bags are never defective or damaged; we know you'll love yours as much as we do.
When this happens, you save big!
- No coupon needed! The maximum discount has already been applied to all items in the 'Almost Perfect' sale collection.
- Quality is guaranteed even on “Almost Perfect” items. If you're not happy with your deal, send it right back according to our standard return policy.

Our Full-Grain Leather
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 and 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. 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.

Easy to Care For
Rather than wearing out, full grain leather will naturally condition with use, developing a much sought-after patina and unique character over time.
Full Grain Leather
US-sourced full-grain leather reduces beef industry waste while aging gracefully, improving appearance and strength.
Unlined & Open Interior
Unlined, full-grain leather bags showcase natural suede and offer durability, quality, and weather resistance akin to premium boots and saddles.
Just received my Lagoon mini crossbody. The leather has a lot of variations, on one side of the front pocket it is completely smooth. First I didn't like it, but now the more I look at it, I totally fell in love with it. It has a lot of pull-up, and so much character. I would probably only buy Almost Perfect, as these bags are so unique! Lagoon is my favorite leather, so squishy!

Perfect bag on the go!
by: Cathy M.
This bag is so functional and easy to wear. It is tall so I put a small Luna at the bottom for the small things (gum, lip gloss, car fob) and then have a lovebug, keys and sunglasses with room to spare. The outside pocket is SO easy for phone access. Love!
LOVE this sling bag!!
by: Jennifer B.
OMG this bag is even more adorable in person! I love mine!! I will admit it is a tad smaller than I hoped it would be but it has also stretched a little with use as leather tends to do and so it feels more roomy now than when I first got it. My advice is stuff it to stretch it and you should be able to fit a decent amount of stuff (see pic of what I fit in mine plus my phone in the back pocket).
Had to grab another
by: CJ
I bought another one in Sugar Snap and it actually fits my Kindle! Just barely... lol but it fits! I would take this one on a plane to wear my Kindle, wallet, passport, glasses and phone. You know, the necessities!
Sydney Sling
by: EL
I received a Sugar Sydney from the C-grade sale, and I'm impressed! The pebbled leather is soft and pliable while still maintaining its shape well. It's the perfect bag for carrying just the essentials.
The best little sling, so comfy
by: Katarina M.
The perfect little sling! I love the unique shape and the back open exterior pocket. I have a Sugar Snap and it is the softest squishiest leather ever, it lays so nicely against the body. I love how there is a ring at the bottom that makes it super easy to slide from one side to other.
Perfect sling bag!
by: CG
I was eyeing this Sydney sling for a long time before purchasing it. I originally wanted fog, but ended up impulsively going bold and bright with Naples. I had never before considered buying a bag in bright yellow! Seriously, yellow leather!?! I would never buy a large bag in bright yellow, but I honestly think Naples is the perfect color for this smaller bag. The yellow is gorgeous and such a beautiful shade! The size is wonderful for outings where you don't want to carry a lot, but you do need to carry a fair amount (small zip wallet, sunglasses, cell phone, car fob, lipstick, small pack of mints, hair band). The bag feels substantial with high quality, thick leather, yet so light! I purchased an almost perfect bag as I have NEVER been disappointed with almost perfect items. The ONLY *possible* flaw I can see is a small dimple in the leather on the front bottom right of the bag. Look very closely in the picture to see it. It's so minor and does not bother me at all. These little variations just show that it IS actually real leather! The stitching, zipper placement, zipper movement, and leather pebbling are all flawless. The quality control person must've been picky by classifying this as an almost perfect bag when it probably should have been classified as a first-quality bag - but I am totally okay with that :-) Honestly, I LOVE this bag way more than I expected!
Great sling—wish it was a touch bigger
by: Gena B.
This little sling is so versatile! I love the sliding ring on the back that allows you to wear it in many different ways. The back pocket easily and securely holds my iPhone 15 pro max with a case and a grip ring. I do wish it was a little bigger-maybe big enough for a kindle, but I can always use the Scarlett for that. I absolutely love flamenco, such a perfect pebbled red! Here are some pics of what fits. I’m 5’4” and 145 lbs, for reference

Sugar snap sling
by: Staci C.
This sugar snap Sydney sling was supposed to be an October birthday present for my daughter but it was too fabulous not to gift it to her in August! Sugar snap is the best squishiest leather! My daughter loves it! It easily holds a phone, keys, and some littles!
One for me, one for a friend!
by: Natalie
Shortbread and Wisteria. So cute I couldn't resist! Will test drive them soon!
New favorite!
by: Carrilyne
This bag is small but packs a punch! It gives any outfit a pop of color and carries all the essentials with easy access! I specifically got it for my trip to Bermuda next week to keep all my IDs handy while traveling and it's so comfortable to wear! I love it to hold my keys, chapstick, wallet and phone on walks and errands! I couldn't be happier with this bag!
Love this bag!
by: Laura P.
I eagerly anticipated the release of this bag, and it did not disappoint! It’s perfect for those trips where you need a smaller bag, or if you’re in more crowded places. Love it!
