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.

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!
So happy
by: Amanda M.
The large koala in pebbled black is such a fantastic carry. Such a sleek, classy crossbody Very comfortable to carry
Koalas are the best
by: Julie R.
I love carrying the koala. My preference is a medium pebbled but this small meadow is classy. I wasn’t a meadow fan until I made some coordinating flair and now I love it. Easy to carry. Easy to reach inside. Koalas have a secure magnet closure. I have several and reach for them often. I wear on my shoulder typically but it’s nice to go hands free and wear crossbody too. Endless possibilities for a casual carry.
Perfect bag
by: Customer
This bag is perfect bag. You can dress it up or down. And the leather bag is buttery soft. I highly recommend this bag to anyone.
Small Koala is perfect
by: Conni B.
The Bone Koala is perfection! Beautiful, creamy, gorgeous!
Great upgrade
by: Rayanna L.
I bought the small koala to replace my nylon Lululemon sling. It feels more sophisticated and I'm happy to be using a natural material that will develop a patina with use rather than look dingy. I wish that this bag was offered with more structured leather options. I do love the sea glass color, it leans more green than blue in person.
Beautiful bag

Perfect size, suits all outfits. Great quality. On the go ready
Small koala
by: Ambre M.
I can honestly say I wasn’t a fan of this bag style when it was first released. Being petite, some of these bags are just too big for me. I decided to give it a shot for the c sale…I’m so glad I did! Perfect size for me when I need to carry minimal things. It’s very comfy to carry also.
I love this bag!
by: Teasha H.
I originally had no interest in the koala bag…. Until I saw a small on moonflower (and I’m a coldbrew gal!) I knew I had to have it, I really love the size and how it carries… and moonflower ❤️❤️❤️❤️ don’t sleep on the small koala if your looking for a small size crossbody
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!!
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)
Perfect for travel
by: Julianne B.
I bought the large koala sling for my recent trip to Vienna and it was the perfect bag. Big enough for a snack or small water bottle, small enough to wear under my coat if U chose. The color orchid is vibrant and fun, yet dark enough to almost be neutral. This is a new favorite.
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!!!
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.
Great bag - no matter the size!
by: Liz C.
Love this bag, in every size! The big one for taking everything along with me - the little baby koala for running errands and being alone. Love this bag so much, I start dreaming about my next one as soon as I buy one!
Beautiful, small Koala is the perfect size!
by: Susan P.
First time PLG customer, won't be the last! I wasn't sure if I would like this purse and accessories because I've used an organizer purse (wallet/purse combo) for so long (at least 20 years) but I really do! The leather is beautiful and I love the color! The pictures I've included don't do it justice. It's a vibrant mid to dark blue with maybe a hint of purple. I prefer pebbled leather because it hides scratches better and this one is really nice. It's soft but not too slouchy which is good because I prefer a little more structure. I liked the natural interior too. The shape is so cute! The size is perfect as I prefer a smaller purse and a crossbody is a must for me. This size of the Koala comes with the longer adjustable strap which is perfect because it allows me to wear it crossbody just below my hip which is where I like to wear my purses. I'm 5'4 and I don't have it adjusted out to its full length. I can see why customers of the medium and large might be disappointed with the shorter strap. I would be too. Since I've used an organizer purse for so long I knew I would need to get a small wallet and something to hold all the small items that I like to carry. The interior pocket of this purse accommodates my 6.4" phone (I don't think you could do much larger in the pocket, but you could in the purse) and the main part of the purse easily accommodates the PLG small zip wallet and the seesaw slider pouch (which is the perfect shape for this style purse), keys and a pen with a little room to spare if you needed it. I wasn't sure if I'd like the magnetic closure as I'm used to zipper but I do. It snaps closed securely and nothing falls out when hung upside down. It stays open when I need to access something inside. I'm very, very happy with my purchase and highly recommend!
