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. It's 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.

Purse peace!🌙🍌💛🥰
by: C.S.
I love the new medium Koala sling!! Seems I was waiting for just this size for a long time! It's big enough to carry more than just the essentials, yet not at all bulky. It's a perfect on the go silhouette with lots of cool style! I own it in the color Naples. Great purchase!
Fits my 40 oz hydroflask!!
by: JDSmith
Thirsty minimalist uses Osprey Daylite Sling for most settings desired a nicer leather non-backpack non-tote non-trad purse option for my 40 oz hydroflask. W the flip top lid it’s a bit too big but w the regular flat lid it fits just fine! Still plenty of room for smaller items around it. Easily fits my 40 oz narrow neck non-insulated Kleen Kanteen. Also very well made and looks like it will easily stand the test of time. Thanks Portland Leather!! (Photo w closed top contains the hydroflask)
Never miss fun times with the Koala Sling Bag
by: Martina C.
Purchased this Large Koala bag to see what all the hype was about it. Bag is a great size to hold all my necessary goodies, keeps them safe and secure and lets me look very stylish when carrying it. Magnets are strong, hung this bag upside down for 5 minutes and they never gave way. Highly recommend this bag!!
Great Crossbody
by: Jean A.
I’ve been carrying my Large Koala for 3-4 weeks now and it just keeps getting better and better. I love how light it is, it holds my necessities, I can easily carry in the front or swing it around my back. So easy to reach in. Magnet closure feels secure. I would buy another. I’m thinking Molino blue!
Smoking Hot
by: Denyse K.
I just received my large Sling bag in Chili Red and it is HOT 🔥 The color itself is deep and saturated and the leather is so lush! The size is just perfect for an everyday carry and you will not have to leave anything behind . If I were able to design the perfect bag for me - this would be it !
large koala in orchid is perfection
by: robyn b.
thank you plg for mastering the magnetic closure around your gorgeous orchid hide! the size and shape and structure is exactly what i have been looking for. lightweight enough to not weigh my down, but too, substantial in feel and function.
Medium Sling purse in Meadow
by: Lynette R.
Love this bag. It is plenty large enough to carry all my everyday necessities and then some. The leather is beautiful with the stamped on print. This is the first bag I have gotten with a magnetic closure like this. I was afraid it wouldn't work very well but it is a very secure closure. This purse is very easy to grab and go. The Seesaw fits in it perfectly with the small bifold wallet. Wish the seesaw came in meadow. I attached a picture of my order.
Finally! PLG makes the perfect sling bag!
by: Julie S.
I absolutely love this bag in large! It works great as the named sling, but also as a shoulder bag and a crossbody. I ordered three colors, kept the molino blue, which is a fabulous color! The leather is so soft and squishy, the pebbles are perfect, and the color is to die for!!

Gorgeous!!!
by: Courtney P.
I got the large koala in molino blue and absolutely love it on my 5'5", 170lb frame. I wear it as a crossbody and a sling depending on my outfit. The blue is bright and bold and pebbly; and the magnetic closure is the perfect blend of secure and accessible. I usually prefer a zipper, but this is so easy to move in & out of. My only complaint is the thickness of the strap which should be a bit thicker to match the overal quality and weight of the bag, but it's not a deal breaker for me.Planning to get another koala in the smaller size for spring.
Sunshine in a bag!
by: Carla B.
This beauty is just waiting for the cold Minnesota winter to end spring to begin! Love the color, size (I have the large) and feel of this gorgeous bag! And, I love the versatility of how I can wear this bag! So happy with my purchase!
New favorite bag!!!
by: Lorrie J.
Got the medium orchid koala. Oh my! The color is so luxurious and the leather smells sooo good. The large camera bag was my fav bag but now it’s the koala. Love that you can wear 3 ways: sling, crossbody and shoulder. The magnets are strong and very easy to get in/out of. I will be ordering more colors.
Let me tell ya about this purse!
by: Shannon B.
I LOVE IT! It is the perfect size. The closure is unique. I love being able to open and reach in it with one hand. It’s fits my glasses, my taco pouch, 2 daisy minis, a rancher, a brush, my pepper spray and STILL have room for more! It is definitely a bag that catches people’s attention and is stunning in Honey!
Foxglove Love!
by: Andra W.
I love this bag in the Foxglove color! The leather in the Foxglove color is very soft. It's brushed so it has a velvety feel to it. I love the shape of the bag and the large inner pocket. It's a great bag and makes me feel dressed up and sophisticated.
Why did I wait?
by: Tanja
Why did I wait so long to take the plunge? I LOVE this bag! It’s beautiful and the perfect size for me. I may have another color already on the way!
Chili Red for the Win!
by: janine m.
I’m not normally a person that chooses red, I’m more of a neutral kinda gal. But when I saw this Koala in Chili Red I HAD to have it! I got the small one as the large was already sold out but I love it anyways! The leather is so soft and pliable, yet it holds its shape well. I’m super happy and hope that some littles come out in Chili Red as well!! The only reason I took a half star off is I wish the strap was just a couple inches longer. I am wearing it as long as it will go.
