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 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.
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.

My ideal purse
by: Jenn
This is my second purchase from PLG and it is so far my favorite! The medium Aspen in plum is my perfect bag: fits plenty, zips nicely, stays on my shoulder with the adjustable strap, and the leather is so pebbly and soft. I use one of the canvas organizers since there are no pockets in this bag and it helps so much. I plan to pick up another Aspen in Sienna! Debating on trying the large next time. The medium is great for everyday errands and work, but would not be a good laptop bag.
Perfectly perfect!
by: Terrie H.
I have the medium Aspen in cold brew and absolutely love it. Its simple design makes it a go to bag for any outfit. And its spacious interior easily accommodates everything I carry. I included a photo from a recent trip. The water bottle actually fits in this bag with my kindle, phone, large bifold wallet and several other items. I can zip the bag closed with the bottle fully inside.
Love this bag
by: Gina M.
The large aspen is amazing!!! I love the amount of slouch, the color, the texture…. Love it alll!!! The only tiny thing that would make me love it more is if it were able to extend the strap another 4 inches to throw on as a crossbody. I Did purchase the extender strap but I find it awkward and makes it way too long on the shortest option. I’m 5’5” and 135 lbs for reference!
Chili Red Aspen is FIRE 🔥
by: Jennifer M.
I love my new large Aspen in Chili Red. She is so comfy to carry & even fits my laptop! And this is coming from a gal who prefers cross bodies 95% of the time. Don’t sleep on the Chili Red Aspen! 🌶️
Aspen Large = purse peace
by: gretta
Purse peace is real and ive experienced it with the large Aspen. What a comfortable bag that fits everything that a medium crossbody fits, but very comfortably. I just bought it in Sienna too (Chestnut jumbo tassel is a good match). I may go for Coldrew if I can find the pebbles I prefer (dinosaur) and if PLG would do a black zipper on the Nutmeg instead of white, my collection would be complete! This bag is stunning, and well, I'm not finding that i want to carry any of my many other PLG bags, apart from the squishy Poppy if I need a small carry. LOVE this bag! Please make is Naples!
So beautiful!
by: Sydney B.
I adore this bag. It’s incredibly spacious without being huge. I’m 5’11 so I’m drawn to bigger bags in general and this one is amazing.
Love love love!!
by: Lisa L.
This is my third Portland bag and I think this one is my absolute favorite! Perfect size, weight and holds everything I need for the day! You can’t go wrong with this bag.
