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.

Razorback red!
by: Maryalice B.
I have been looking for a purse for my mother’s bday (she will be 91) and found the perfect bag for her! And this red (ChiliRed) is the perfect Razorback red! She will love it! If you are a true lover of deep red this is your color!
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!!
The small is so cute!
by: Bekah
I recently won a nutmeg small koala in a giveaway. It is the perfect size for a wallet, keys and phone, and is great for folks who dont like a traditional purse, but still have things to carry around.
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)
Banana bag 🍌
by: Hayley M.
I got a medium Koala in Naples specifically because it looks like a banana. Makes me so happy! It fits my phone, Luna bag, small seashell bag, a couple of diapers, and other random stuff. I was worried the magnets wouldn't hold, but I have flipped it upside down several times and nothing has dumped out. Love this bag for the summer!
Perfect!
by: Deverie S.
Smells lovely, super sturdy and, more importantly, holds my large Hobo wallet.
Big surprise!
by: CJH
I really hesitated to try this bag because I’m an Apple shape, carrying my extra fluff in the middle. I was worried that this would make me look that much bigger. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how this Medium Koala in Pebbled Black forms right to me and doesn’t look huge. It also holds a lot more than I thought. Perfect for errands and shopping. Also the magnetic closure is quite secure. No fear that stuff is going to fall out if it gets turned upside down. Now I want more colors!!!

Love This Bag!
by: Customer
My Honey Koala Sling from Portland Leather is absolutely beautiful. The leather is soft and high-quality, and the color is rich and warm. It fits all my essentials without looking bulky. Super versatile and easy to wear—crossbody or on the shoulder.
Orchid Medium Koala
by: Amanda B.
I love this bag. It is a great size. The orchid color is beautiful in the pebbled leather . I have been carrying it since I received it.
Stylish and Practical
by: Kathryn H.
I ordered this for a vacation to Europe and it was perfect for all the things I needed — including a water bottle and guide — while slinging securely in front or on the side. The magnets kept it closed but easy to get into. Plus I liked how it looked so I felt a little more stylish. Glad I got it, and the small wallet that matched. Worked great as a system.
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.
Love both sizes!
by: Joanna L.
I have one Koala bag in each size and I love both! The large holds a lot. It's the perfect mom bag when you need to be able to hold snacks + a few toys, it even fits my mittens which is convenient. The medium size is a great handbag size, I think it's similar to my large circle bag in capacity. The Bone color is more stiff, Bacalar is softer and has some texture. I am 5'6" for reference and the strap is great for wearing as a sling bag.
