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.

The perfect bag for organization!
by: Carrianne
I purchased this bag because I needed something to organize the mess that was my backpack and cycling bag. This little pouch ended up being perfect! It holds masks, lip balm, sunscreen, hand cream, hand sanitizer, allergy medication, and more all while looking sleek and high quality. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would happily buy another bag!
Great little bag!
by: Alicia
This little bag fits my needs perfectly. I’m able to fit several charging cords, and my laptop cord/battery inside. Bonus points that Grizzly matches the handles on totes so well. Makes for a stunning pair.
Lots of versatility!
by: L V.
I love the utility bag! It’s great for so many things. I have one that holds all my lipsticks. And it’s a perfect size for charging cables or other accessories. And tulip is a perfect shade of pink!
What can you fit?
by: Lori T.
Tulip Utility shown w/Succulent Taco Tassel little, used as a clutch with a generic leather carry strap and twilly neck scarf tied as a bow (because Tulip is sassy like that) What can it carry? -handstrap on the outside -twilly neck scarf tied in a bow on the outside (decoration & emergency neck scarf for chilly offices) -3.5"x4.5" clutch wallet w/10+ cards, cash, and coins (stole the strap from the wallet but it works great! And if I want to take just the wallet, I can switch it back and stash my gorgeous Clutch-tility[?] Utili-clutch[?] in my office or car...but why when she's so portable and cute) -full-sized compact -lipliner -lipstick compact w/lipbrush -pen -Succulent taco tassel little full of... *eyedrops *paper soap dispenser *travel deodorant *mini first aid kit *eyeliner *mascara *key case w/house & car fobs *paperflake-soap dispenser Yeah, she fits a lot but when zipped, is still trim and fit. Solid, quality zippers and stitching. Smells amazing, comforts me and calms me down when the day gets stressful. Love ❤️!

Nutmeg and a sunflower utility.
Multitasking little bag!!
by: April H.
I got the deep water utility bag, which is gorgeous, and could be used for many purposes! I also got a hide stamp, which was so exciting!
Great bag
by: Maria L.
I bought this bag for my makeup and it’s perfect! It fits everything and the imperfections are barely noticeable.
Perfect little makeup bag
by: Veronica
Love this little bag! I use it to hold my makeup and it's perfect! The wide opening makes it so easy to find and grab what I need easily. I got mine in the color Satsuma and it's a beautiful peachy orange. No regrets!
All The Little Stuff
by: Liz K.
For this order I purchased an AP Grizzly Utility. I love these and I've got one to match most of my Mini CBs. I do wish more Unicorn colors were available or more included in Mystery boxes. Seems to be 4 to 1 Eclipse to Utilities. I've only received a couple in 11 or 12 Mystery Boxes. IMO, Utilities are 10 times better than Eclipses!
Great for organizing!
by: Heidi M.
This is my first deep water purchase. I usually am a neutral leather person, but I just love this blue! I'm still trying to decide what exactly I will be using this little pouch for, but as a teacher with school starting soon, there will be a usage! Perfect size for my tote bags, so items can easily be found. And I think I may *need* more deep water...
Grizzly is gorgeous
by: Jenna L.
Grizzly is hard to capture in pictures but it's gorgeous. Also love that the interior is a lighter color, makes it easier to find what I need. The utility is perfect for all my accessories for class. My giant graphing calculator fits with a ton of extra space .
Utility Bag
by: Kelly F.
The Utility is my favorite of the small goods. It fits in many of my larger bags and also make a great clutch. It holds all the essentials for a quick grab-n-go.
Surprisingly Pretty for a practical option!
by: Leslie (.
The Utility Bag is quite possibly my favorite of the PLG littles right now! An unassuming, versatile, pretty little workhorse! Pictured here in Peacock (teal-green) and Tulip (coral-pink), both of which show very little wear with normal use. The Peacock has carried my makeup in my everyday work tote for quite a while now, but you'd never know it. She looks new as the day she arrived. I expect Tulip will wear similarly, as they are both smooth and structured leather. Sometimes it's hard to know what size little bag you need for inside a bigger bag. The utility is a perfect starter because you can start to discern if you want something larger or smaller pretty easily, and even if you settle on another size being your main jam, you've got this little gem to protect whatever little treasures you choose.
Useful Utility!
by: Tasha M.
I love the size and functionality of my AP Utility bag. It has a neat hide mark (isn't it cool how unique leather is?!) and the Caribbean color is stunning! The zipper is a touch stiff but I've already noticed it getting looser with each use so that's good.
