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?
Everything from our Almost Perfect collection (excluding Mystery Box bundles) falls under our usual return policy. For more detailed information, visit our Returns page.

Super Sidekick!
by: Tasha M.
I have the Sidekick in [smooth] Honey and in [pebbled] Baja and I love them both. I use the Honey Sidekick for all my favorite pens and pencils. I love the way the smooth leather retains its shape. I use my Baja Sidekick for all the little random things in my bag. And I like the way the pebbled leather adjusts to the different shapes of things it’s holding. I LOVE the way the Baja looks with my Naples Devan!
Better than expected!!
by: Wendy D.
Thought I’d try these to replace my alpine. I wanted something that could stand on its end in my bag. These are perfect!! Bigger than expected and much nicer. Will be getting more both for myself and as gifts! 💕💕
Sweet pouch
by: Marcia P.
Sugar is my new favorite! It holds all my markers for journaling and looks extra sweet doing it!
Satsuma!
by: Samantha H.
Satsuma is such a beautiful peachy orange neutral. The bag itself is super handy to put some essentials into a tote and not get lost. Love!
Useful little pouch
by: Karen F.
I’m surprised by how much this little pouch can hold. Currently using it for pens and journaling supplies
Fun little pouch
by: Rosanne M.
Great for storing my pens and stationary things for journaling and keeping my bag neat! Color is a little darker than I thought but still so pretty!
Sidekick
by: Shelley C.
Just right for every bag and all the little things.
Every bag needs a Sidekick!!
by: Megan B.
I bought the Sidekick in pebbled black as an organizer to go with my new pebbled black tote backpack and so glad I didn’t. The pebbled black is classic and this bag is great for corralling all of your smaller items like sunglasses, lip balm, hair ties and keys so that they don’t get lost in the bottom of the bag. The smaller size is nice when you need the essentials but don’t want to use up too much bag space.
Perfect size for my traveling nail care center!
by: Arin
I needed a small zipper pouch that would fit a nail file, cuticle cream, hand lotion, and lip balm. This is just long enough to accommodate the file and big enough that I can add a few more things when I need to. Plus, satsuma is a positively dreamy color. I love it!
Pebbled Black Sidekick
by: Alison
The sidekick is my absolute favorite little! It fits all of my miscellaneous items like lotion and hand sanitizer. It helps keep me organized and I can easily switch bags. The zipper is smooth and pebbled back is gorgeous.
Sugar Sidekick
by: FresnoJen
Its a deep pink, pebbled and nice to carry glasses or pens in. Feels classy.
Empire sidekick
by: Alice V.
My sidekick has just returned from touring London and surrounding towns. My electric toothbrush fits perfectly. Toothpaste, flossers, assorted lotions, lip gloss, and hair scrunchies rounded out her sleek design. Amazing how much this small bag holds!
Succulent Sidekick!
by: Jennifer L.
Sidekick is a slim option which fits well in numerous bags and is great for holding a lot of the loose items in my bags. Love the color and feel of the brushed leather. :)
Perfect for Small Items
by: Becca H.
I bought a Sidekick in Honey to use inside my Honey Eclipse Makeup Bag to help store and organize my makeup brushes and mascara. I love the way they look together, and the Sidekick holds a LOT! I may need to buy a few in different colors to organize things in my Crossbody bags 🥰🥰
The Perfect Little!
by: Julie F.
My Honey Sidekick is perfect to hold essentials in my purses. It's soft and surprisingly roomy for a small pouch!
Nutmeg sidekick
by: Carolyn R.
It is a great addition to my collection. I love how pebbly & soft the leather is.
Customer Reviews

Put all my lip essentials in here, everything is tidy and all in one place.
This is the perfect catch all for your bag to keep the small things from floating around and causing clutter. Grab ya one.
Gorgeous sidekick! Love the color and everything about this little. Highly recommend!
