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.
Top Grain: Top-grain starts from the same premium zone of the hide but is lightly sanded and finished for a more uniform surface. That light correction softens and evens the face while keeping most of the strength you want. Takes pigment and protective finishes beautifully, which helps with colorfastness and stain resistance. Ages gracefully, especially when we keep the finish thin enough to let the leather breathe and break in.
We use top-grain when a smoother cosmetic is the goal—think color consistency across large panels—without walking away from the core strength you expect from a Portland bag.
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.

Must have fun color!
by: Maria B.
I LOVE her! The color is gorgeous, leather is soft. She's comfortable to wear. Must have fun color!
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!
Love my koala in meadow!
by: Laura L.
I’ve had the meadow wallet for a while and decided to get a matching bag. The koala is the perfect size for days when you don’t need to carry a lot.
Small Cactus 🌵
by: Lydia P.
The Koala is my absolute favorite everyday carry! It fits just the essentials and it looks super cute. The cactus color is such a beautiful rich green and it’s smooth, it holds its shape well, not slouchy at all. 10/10 recommend!!
Large koala sling
by: Jenn
I love love love the lg koala sling in cold brew! I love that I can wear it as a short shoulder bag or a Crossbody.It fits everything I need. I have a full-size billfold wallet, as well as a large Marigold pouch.
Love love love
by: Thao P.
I love small size of Koala bag, it is just right size for everyday bag for me. I want it in every colors :D
My favorite bag!!
by: Gabrielle T.
Had to have this bag in butter bliss, absolutely love the koala sling bag! The small has a nice long adjustable crossbody strap and is so cute!
OBSESSED😍
by: Kelsey
The leather on this bag is like butter! So soft and the pebbles are just the right size! The chilli red is such a rich beautiful color that works as a neutral as well! It holds everything I need it to with room to spare. I literally put a full half gallon of milk in it last night and it fit and even closed with more room at the bottom. The smell is out of this world. Will continue adding to my collection. You cant go wrong with PLG!
Love Koala's Uniqueness!
by: Caitlin A.
I'm loving my large Bacalar Koala so far! I have a large in Bacalar (omg) and a medium in Bone. I thought the large would feel bulky on my petite frame and it's just right, surprisingly. It's a fun, unique and interesting slight crescent shape and I really like the magnet enclosures as they're easy to maneuver single handedly. This isn't a bag for more than the essentials, as I noticed stuffing it too much makes it look wonky, but for anything bigger my go to is the Lola, a stark contrast shape wise. I like having options. It's a great minimalist option that can be worn multiple ways. Bacalar is just sooo luscious!
Love, love, love this small beautiful Koala
by: Susan W.
What a great "everything" bag. I take it everywhere because it goes with everything...holds all of my essentials and looks good doing it.
So light, perfect for walking around
by: Rebecca G.
I’m usually very delicate when it comes to bags and often feel achy when carrying one around for the majority of a day. I did not feel that with this bag love the color and everything about it. I got the small and feel it’s perfect for my frame.
Perfect!
by: Deverie S.
Smells lovely, super sturdy and, more importantly, holds my large Hobo wallet.
Beautiful purse
by: Anjail B.
Beautiful purse. Love the feel of the bag. I think the color should be called Indigo instead of Cobalt. 😊
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!
Finally achieved so-called “purse peace”!
by: Brenda B.
Love love LOVE my koala sling bag. The large size is perfect to carry all my essentials, plus extra room for my toddlers snacks. Truly one of my favorites, and I can’t wait to get it in more colors (I’m looking at you cobalt😅)!
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!
So happy
