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 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.

bucket list bag!
by: courtney s.
I LOVE this bag so much! This bag has been on my list for so long! I’ve been wanting it for a travel bag. Finally took it on its first trip! It fits all the essentials and I tucked my envelope crossbody inside in case I wanted a smaller bag for out and about adventures. It’s perfect!
Backpack perfection!
by: Perri E.
If you love a drawstring backpack (like I do) but really find constantly opening the bag for your most used items (phone, keys, sunglasses) then this is the backpack for you! The back zippered pocket is a game changer! It easily holds my iphone 16 plus in a case with readers but it can also hold a smaller wallet, keys, inhaler…whatever you need to grab and go or to keep secure. The adjustable wide straps fit my shoulders comfortably, and the bag balances perfectly on one shoulder. I love everything about it!
Traveling Boston Backpack better in person
by: Jo
I fell in love when I tried on the Boston backpack at the Seattle PLG location. Seeing it online doesn’t do justice as trying it on in person. I had to make sure the zipper pocket can hold my passport securely. As she will be my next travel bag in the spring when we go on another cruise adventure.
Boston Backpack
by: Erik L.
This backpack is truly stunning and well-designed. It offers a perfect fit for males who may be 6'2", ensuring comfort during use. Although it lacks a zipper for security, the interior strap is elegant, and the magnetic closure works excellently. inside, and the magnetic closure is perfect.
More than I ever expected!
by: Debi R.
The Boston Backpack was just what I needed! The size is perfect…not too small or too large and cumbersome. It holds everything I have with room to spare, and I adore the color! This is my favorite PLG so far!
Gorgeous Coral Backpack!
by: Alina R.
I hadn't gotten any backpacks yet from PLG and this was my first one. It is absolute perfection. I love the size of it and that it has the little snap inside kind of like the butterfly bucket has that hook. The straps are very comfortable which is always a gamble with fashion backpacks, but PLG did these beautifully. I could not be happier. The color is also gorgeous and not at all what I expected to pick when I was in the store.
Hello, Meet My New Travel Buddy
by: Nancy R.
First, the Calla Lilly color and pebbling are amazing. Second, this pack is comfortable- straps. Third, it is quite roomy, and the zip pocket is perfectly secure. I am so taking this bag on my next trip.
Great size and fits all!
by: Carol W.
I had a PLG backpack tote and wanted something at least that big to hold all my purse items. The Boston delivers!! I can actually carry more since the top is wider. I move my canvas organizer from one to the other with ease and perfect fit. The backpack zipper is good size for my keys and daisy wallet, but phone is a bit too bulky and you can feel it on your back. Rhubarb is nice feel, "soft" pebble look, medium firmness to hold shape. First suggestion for future - outer loops or snaps to attach flair (tassel, pouches). I used inner strap band and looped dragonfly to it to hang out the top side (see pic). Second suggestion - put back zipper on the opposite side. If you are right handed like me, you sling backpack to the left shoulder to fish out things from purse in checkout line. With back zipper on the left side, it's hard to get into it for my wallet or keys.
