Our 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.
Full-Grain: Meticulously sourced from the finest hides, this premium material boasts unique textures and character, showcasing nature's artistry at its best. As time passes, watch as its surface develops a unique patina, telling your personal journey through the years. Unlike processed leathers, full-grain leather stands the test of time, due to its unmatched strength and resilience. Its dense fibers offer exceptional resistance to wear, cuts, and moisture, our full-grain leather ensures lasting beauty that only gets better with age.
Top Grain: Top-grain starts from the same premium zone of the hide but is lightly sanded and finished for a more uniform surface. That light correction softens and evens the face while keeping most of the strength you want. Takes pigment and protective finishes beautifully, which helps with colorfastness and stain resistance. Ages gracefully, especially when we keep the finish thin enough to let the leather breathe and break in.
We use top-grain when a smoother cosmetic is the goal—think color consistency across large panels—without walking away from the core strength you expect from a Portland bag.
Pebbled: Unlike most brands that use artificial stamping methods to create patterns, our pebbled leather is achieved through a natural tumbling process. The distinctive raised, pebble-shaped texture adds sophistication and makes a bold statement wherever you go. But it's not just about looks—pebbled leather is built to last. Worried about daily wear and tear? Don’t be! The unique pebbled surface ages gracefully, developing a natural patina that will evolve for years to come!
Suede: Our suede leather begins with an intricate process: the hide is split to separate the soft underside from the top layer. This top layer is then tanned, buffed, sanded, and dyed to create the signature velvety texture that defines high-quality suede. Naturally slouchy and pliable, suede leather ages gracefully, developing a rich patina that tells its own story over time. Most natural imperfections are gently smoothed away during production, while subtle traces—like healed veining and the soft, napped surface—are preserved to celebrate the leather’s unique character and charm.
Because leather is a natural material, variations in color, grain, and texture are expected. Differences in hides, dye absorption, and production batches may result in slight variations between products and from the images shown. These natural characteristics are not considered defects and are part of what makes each piece unique.

PLG has done it again! As a longtime fan of their core collection, I was just as excited to hear whispers about a new signature collection, and the large Ashford immediately grabbed my attention! It's such a sleek design at a glance, but so much more than that: The push lock clasp is an ease to open and close, the removable strap options are such a nice touch for those of us who can never decide between a shoulder, a crossbody, or a clutch, and the accordion sides manage to take it from a minimal carry all the way to more than just essentials! Not to mention ALL THE SECTIONS!! So organized, I love that there's even a fully zipped compartment inside. The lining lays flat and is soooo soft, I love how it blends seamlessly with the color of the leather on the outside. Such a beautiful addition to PLG, so happy to have even more options from my favorite label!

This bag completely blew my socks off! I absolutely LOVE the Large Ashford Shoulder Bag in Bay Green! The color is even more gorgeous in person, and the size is just perfect for everyday use without being too big or bulky. I also love the versatility of having both a shoulder strap and an adjustable crossbody strap!
For reference, the bag measures 12” long, 6” high, and 3–4” wide. The short strap is 27” long with an 11.5” drop, and the adjustable long strap measures 43”–51”.
Between the beautiful leather finish, stunning color, and fantastic size, this bag is an absolute winner in my book! 💚🥰

Simple elegance with a little moxie - that’s how I’d describe her. She goes from daytime workhorse to dignified dinner companion without making a fuss.
I carried her as a clutch, on my shoulder, and crossbody, and she stayed put wherever I placed her. On my shoulder, she was easy to forget about. No slipping, no pulling my hair, no constant scooching her back into place. Crossbody, she tucked right into my side and rested on my hip, but was just as happy hanging a little toward my back when I needed her out of the way.
The clasp kept my things secure, but I could still open it with one hand. I appreciate a bag that guards my belongings without making me wrestle her to get them back.
She came along to my favorite eatery, too, where she sat comfortably on my lap and was easy to carry as a clutch. Apparently, she’s equally comfortable running errands or going out to dinner. My kind of girl.
PLG provided this bag for me to try, and these are my own impressions from carrying her.

The attention to detail on this new Small Ashford bag really sets it apart.
First up: We have pockets!! Having a quick-access exterior pockets means your phone or keys are always right where you need them without fumbling around, while the interior organization keeps everything secure.
When it comes to carrying options, the strap design is exceptionally comfortable and easy to adjust. It sits right against the body without slipping, and you can easily transition it from crossbody, to shoulder carry, to clutch depending on how you're styling your day.
Finally, the finishing touches are what truly elevate this signature piece. The clean stamped logo adds a subtle, understated touch without being overpowering. I love that the hardware feels substantial and polished. The Ashford does not disappoint. It’s functional, timeless, and bound to become a closet staple.

The Ashford bag is incredibly versatile and works well for everything from casual errands and date nights to business attire and formal occasions. The ability to carry it as a clutch, shoulder bag, or crossbody is truly a game changer.
The leather has a high-gloss finish while maintaining a refined, premium aesthetic. The craftsmanship is excellent—the stitching is flawless, the hardware has a great luxury weight, and the removable signature collection keychain is a beautiful touch. Overall, it has a structured yet effortless design and is spacious enough to hold all the essentials.
I highly recommend this bag!
