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!

Bliss of a bag! Medium Koala

I was so excited to see the koala bag in Butter Bliss that I immediately rushed to purchase it! Well, in my rush I mistakenly ordered the medium instead of the large which is the size I usually carry in the Koala. Well let me say that it was a mistake worth making! I prefer this size to throw some things in to run errands, wit hands free easy access and the magnetic closure. Butter Bliss is a beautiful soft yellow color. The only thing that would make this bag better would be if the strap was about 2 inches longer.

The AP Koala Hugs You Like A Real Koala

I have a number of small, medium, and large koalas because they’re a very comfortable carry. Some are premium and some are almost perfect. To me, there’s no difference, so consider looking at AP as well. Koalas are fun bags in fun colors. Worth a look-see!

Great bag!

I love this bag! The large is the perfect size, it smells amazing, and it’s so nice to not use a zipper as I’m often only using one hand while tending to three kids. I’m definitely getting more colors.

I’ve been buying PLG bags and littles and sharing them with my 87 year old mother. She’s enjoying them so much and seeing that makes me really happy. She wanted to pick one and buy her own and the small Koala in the butter bliss color is what she chose. She is so happy with the size and the color and couldn’t wait to change out bags and carry it. Once again we both are all smiles. Thank you Portland Leather Goods.
