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.

Pocket Measurements:
Interior pocket: 5.5" High x 8.25" Wide
Exterior pocket: 6.5" High x 9.75" Top Width x 8.5" Bottom Width

The drop length for all of our handles is 10.5” regardless of the size of the tote, and suits most!
All measurements are approximations due to inherent variations in handmade leather items.
INSIDE & OUTSIDE POCKET: All totes have an inside pocket that measures approximately 6” x 8” – great for a smartphone and some lip balm, as well as an outside pocket for easy storage.
KEY LOOP: A standard feature of all totes – no more digging around for your keys!
FULL-GRAIN LEATHER: Our leather is the highest quality full-grain chap and English bridle leather available. We only use hides as a byproduct of the beef industry, we like to think that we're helping to minimize waste by using hides that may otherwise be wasted. This kind of leather will never look flawless, as it hasn't been covered in any kind of plastic coating. Don’t worry about keeping the tote perfect - the best part about 100% full-grain leather is that it just gets better with age.
UNLINED AND OPEN INTERIOR: Our Tote Bags are unlined, featuring the natural suede underside of the leather on the inside. We use full-grain, oil-tanned leather that is incredibly durable and water tight – it's the same quality of leather that is used in making boots, saddles, and all manner of made-to-last, all-weather leather goods!
In order to keep up with production, we are not able to offer customizations on our designs – sorry about that! We think you’ll love our items as they are!

Small tote
by: Jean L.
Love the color!!! Expecting 2 more orders, can’t wait to receive them!!!
Tote perfection!
by: Jocelyn B.
This is my first PLG purchase, and I am simply stunned by the thickness, quality, color, and smell of the leather - pictures don't do it justice!! This is the small zippered tote in honey. I am a tiny individual (4'11" with short little t-rex arms lol) and I'm usually not a tote person because I find them to be oversized on me. But the small is perfect for me! I love how PLG offers so many different sizes!!! I took some photos with the tote in case it helps my fellow shorties out there. :)
A+! This Grizzly zippered oversized tote is perfect!
by: J.S.
I got this beauty in the C grade sale. I'm currently using it for my work bag, although it's a little large. I have tons of room left! I just used it for an overnight bag and it was the perfect size. I'm so happy with my surprise! The color is fantastic.
Beautiful Leather
by: Christine P.
My Portland Leather small Tote bag in Cognac is a dream! The quality is amazing and the smell - I could live on that true leather smell. I enjoy the inside key loop with snap. Perfect size to bring with me shopping or anywhere. I'm anxious to see how it ages.
My 'Lil Honey

Looks great, feels great, smells great! My 'lil honey large zipper tote! ;-)
New Favorite Bag
by: Lilly
I can't bring my self to swap back to my black crossbody tote because I love my new Medow medium tote so much. I like the shape better, I am ruined!
I love this bag!!
by: Daisy H.
Coldbrew is my favorite brown so far! I love it on my small classic tote. This was my first “large” bag. I usually wear small bags bc of my petite frame. But this tote is perfect and I love it so much!
Most Beautiful Bags!
by: Karina E.
look, smell & hold up beautifully! I have the Large in Cognac (w/tassel), and I got the Large in Coldbrew for my Mystery (left one on bench). Can’t wait to get my backpack in Honey 🍯.
Fabulous Bag!
by: Mrs N.
I received a cognac large tote and it is absolutely divine! Butter soft leather and it smells so good, I literally keep walking into my room to stroke it and smell it! I love it and it is so functional and fabulous!
Bacalove!!!
by: Linda B.
This is my first tote. I absolutely love the color and the squishy, delicious leather.
Cognac Large Tote
by: Aniza L.
In case you’re like me, looking at reviews to help make the “right purchase”, here it is. I ordered the Large Tote in Cognac with a zipper hoping for the perfect work bag that could be versatile. The large fits a 13in Mac with LOTS of space around it (I tested my husbands 15in Mac it fits, but won’t zip), a hardcover journal or two, a hydro flask (all sizes- sometimes two, one for water and one for coffee), snack, and electronics bag, plus wallet. My favorite feature is the key hook!! Overall, I’m definitely satisfied with my newest PLG bag, worth the purchase!
Lava is amazing
by: Jenni L.
I got the OS tote with a zipper in Lava. Let me tell you, as pretty as you might think Lava is in the pictures, it's even prettier in person. I can tell this bag is going to age well. The OS tote holds my 16" MBP laptop (something I've been searching for for a long time), PLUS everything else I could need for a day away (for scale, in the interior image, the purse is a mini crossbody and what I believe an eclipse makeup bag). This leather is not slouchy but it isn't so stiff it feels plastic. I can see this will be a good travel bag. The handle drop is the perfect length for over the shoulder and (as a taller person), holding in my hands and not skimming the ground. As much as I love this bag, it's not an every day bag and probably isn't for everyone. I'm tall so the size is fine, but I could see it overwhelming someone shorter or petite. The handles are stiff and the edges could use a slight bevel. I'm hoping they will round out a little as I use the bag. And its a lot of leather which means this bag isn't light even before adding my laptop, purse and water bottle. While I will use it as I travel, it will not be an out-and-about sightseeing bag; it will be my to the airport to the hotel to the airport bag.
Love this Bag!
by: Lori A.
I bought this to be my everyday purse. It's the perfect size and shape to carry all my usual stuff as well as any extras that they day might bring. Classic black goes with everything! Couldn't be happier.
Dakota Medium Zipper Tote
by: Ciara R.
Very happy with this tote!! It is the perfect size and fits my 13 inch MacBook Air (in a protective fabric pouch), with room to spare for other things. I love my new work bag.
Customer Reviews
Couldbe be happier with the bag
I needed a new tote! My Coach tote lost one of the clasps and Coach refused to repair it! So I looked at the Portland Leather site and found a beautiful tote in the velvet suede. I added the Zipper just in case i LOVED IT. Well I do. Sturdy, yet light with all my stuff in it!
I'm in love with my new Astro Blue Large Classic Tote! The bright, pebbly, and squishy leather makes me smile, and it's the perfect sized tote to schlep all my work items, including a laptop, lunchbox, water bottle, and stacks of papers I should be grading (instead of shopping for more PLG goodies!), with plenty more room left.
I have been wanting to buy a tote for a while, but wanted to wait until I could try in the small va medium. I ended up buying the medium in surf and it's a great size for everyday use for me to hold a few items for myself and my two kids (baby and toddler). The pocked on the outside is great for my phone, it has a hook inside for my keys, and I added a ring on the outside to add a small keychain pouch. These totes seem to look better the more they are worn in so I'm excited to see how it wears as the years go on.
I treated myself to a new work tote and am not disappointed! Absolutely LOVE the Coldbrew color and the softness of the leather! The organizer and key strap inside of the tote are so convenient. Highly recommend!
