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.
Because leather is a natural material, variations in color, grain, and texture are expected. Differences in hides, dye absorption, and production batches may result in slight variations between products and from the images shown. These natural characteristics are not considered defects and are part of what makes each piece unique.

I was so excited to find the snap journal!! I've been wanting one and doesn't disappoint. Perfect for work!
I’ve been waiting for a medium snap journal and my Bacalar beauty is perfect. I also use it as my kindle cover. The leather is gorgeous.
Nice little notebook to show my love for PL!
This is a great little journal if you like a slim notebook. It doesn’t hold much more than the thin book that comes with it so as long as you’re not looking to use it for hardcore journaling it’s perfect. It’s made of the same beautiful leather used in their purses. With the what is obviously the same quality and care.
Here’s another Snap Journal for my collection. It is Bone and very classy! I will keep searching for them.
I love me some Snap Journals! This one is in Sunshine. I will keep searching for them and I will snap them up!
Great little leather journal and fits kindle!
Omg - I love this so much!!! I wish it wasn’t going away. The Bacalar leather is perfect for this usage - sturdy enough to hold the book well, but soft enough to feel like butter in my hands. Wish wish wish there was a medium available in Orchid, to go along with this Bacalar!
Beautiful and soft medium snap journal!
I love the sparkle in this beautiful journal! So soft and pebbley!
I am a snap journal fan, and am SUPER sad they're being retired. I was very surprised to see on in store, and when I did, I snapped it right up!!! I love honey; it's just a beautiful, smooth leather :)
I don't keep a journal of my thoughts but I'm always making lists! And I love having this beautiful leather journal to make my list in! Right now I'm listing all the beautiful places we want to visit when my husband retires. Hey...if you makes you happy...
I use this journal to carry my kindle in and it’s perfecly sized. I use velcro to attach the back of it to the leather. Love it!
I am so glad that I grabbed this when I saw it! I could not believe my eyes when I saw that PLG was going to discontinue regularly stocking such and iconic item.
Bacalar is an incredible leather choice. It is rich, supple, and all around beautiful. The pebbles! The green!
Sizing: I bought a medium and it's perfect for tossing into my purse for an on-the-go notebook. It fits into a medium metro! I love it for taking notes, jotting down lists, or helping with math homework. As an actual journal though it's a bit too small. I'll be keeping my eyes open for a large!
I bought this to fit my kindle, only to realize I don’t actually use the kindle enough to bother, I’d rather just read on my phone. Good thing I love it as a journal, and I love that I can swap out the insert when it gets full and keep using it!
I got the medium sized leather snap journal in Bacalar. It’s beautiful! I am using it for my kindle paper white. It fits perfect!
I’m using my small snap journal as a gratitude reminder. It works with a daily planner I found at the dollar tree, so I can journal what I am grateful for daily. It’s so beautiful, smells wonderful, and is really a classic product. I’m grateful for this journal! :)
I love my medium Bacalar journal. I use it to record gratitude and it feels and smells amazing!
This small snap journal is the perfect size to throw into even my smaller bags (large Koala, Mini Crossbody). I use it as a general commonplace notebook for random notes, quotes, recipes, contact info, to dos, etc.!
When I heard that the leather snap journal was being discontinued, I just had to have one I chose honey because I have several bags and honey and this leather holds up so well it’s not too dark not too light. I love keeping paper in my handbag and this keeps everything the and tidy, especially if I have receipts or some coupons I can tuck everything neatly into the snap journal and it makes it easier to find when I am digging in my bag!
I just love my leather journal. It is not only great quality, but is refillable.
I love this journal. It is high-quality leather and quality paper. My only caveat would be to add a pin loop to it because there is nowhere to store your pin. Other than that. It is a great product and I highly recommend it.
