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. 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.

Love
by: Kim W.
Nora is gorgeous! I resisted this bag a long time thinking it was too small but really it’s the perfect vacay bag…it holds a lot
Beautiful Mango
by: Jen W.
Currently one of my favorite bags. The Nora is perfect in Mango. It holds is beautiful crescent shape with the firmer leather. The color is gorgeous!
Beautiful spring bag
by: Laura R.
A beautiful Nora bag to kick off spring! It’s perfect for when you want to be a little lighter in your step and in what you carry. Classic black bag for every day or for date night.
Unbeatable and stunning
by: Jenna P.
I was comparing this bag to the Polo ID Ralph Lauren bag. The Nora is beautiful. It’s perfect size to fit your going out items. I’ve used it with day outfits and night outfits. Compliments abound. The leather smells wonderful - I continue to ravish the scent. It is incredible quality so far - about a month of use. The strap is comfortable. The color is a striking blend of honey brown and turns heads. What made me love this bag even more was receiving the “welcome to the fam” flyer with it. That was heartwarming. The feeling that came with the bag was special, and it continues to be my go to bag. It is incredibly stylish and for my credibility - I’ve spent months comparing types of bags, shapes, materials. This is such a fine piece of work for an awesome price. I love this bag.
So cute!!
by: Lea C.
Lime green has been my favorite color recently so when I saw this bag I was very intrigued! This is my first purchase from Portland Leather and I could not be happier with the quality and design of this bag. I bought the original Nora (not the larger size) and it is my ideal sized bag. I'll likely buy another color in the winter! 10/10 recommend!!
Versatile and Sturdy
by: Charlene C.
So far my favorite PL bag! I purchased the Large Nora in Forest Green. It’s incredibly roomy and holds its shape quite well. I love that I can dress it up or down depending on the occasion.
Delighted
by: CR
I'm always looking for the perfect bag, and I think I've found it! Love the easy access and am amazed how much it can carries! This is my favorite thus far; but I do have my eyes on a butterfly or bucket!
Gorgeous
by: Kelly M.
The mango color is so gorgeous. It reminds me of a lighter version of Honey. The perfect tan neutral. I love the shape and structure of the Nora. She surprisingly holds a lot too! I may need another one hehe
Nora in Cobalt!
by: Krista L.
I just received my very first Nora, the large size in Cobalt! What a gorgeous bag, I love this color so much. Roomier than I expected, and just beautiful! Love 💙💙💙
Storm Nora is Soooo Beautiful!
by: Jeni
The Nora bag is so fun and functional as a sweet little shoulder bag. It fits much more than I thought it would and is such a comfortable bag to carry. I love the storm leather in this bag as well! It's a moody chameleon shifting from dark gray to gray/blue with the light, and is so soft to the touch.
Claasy bag
by: Elizabeth F.
I'm so glad I finally ordered a Nora shoulder bag. She's so easy to dress up or down and fits everything you'd need for a night out or a day at the pool.
Sleek and Sexy
by: Evgenia
This is my second Nora. Hava is such a great color that changes depending on the lighting. I love how versatile this bag is and I find it gorgeous and extremely stylish. Loooove!
Nora
by: Lisa
The smooth black Nora has such a classy look. It sits comfortably on the shoulder and holds a surprising amount. I'm very pleased with this beautiful bag.
Perfect!!
by: Danielle
I was a little hesitant on this one, I am a crossbody and backpack girl. BUT this one is amazing and is officially my favorite. Such a beautiful bag and amazing quality. Hoping for more color choices!!
Small but mighty
by: Amanda
This bag is a fun shaped bag can hold quit a bit for being smaller. The leather is amazing quality and fashionable and for a great price. Love it.
Classic Nora Merlot
by: Fran G.
Whatever purse peace looks like, I've found it. Classic Nora is my absolute favorite.
Customer Reviews
I bought the forest green Nora bag. I haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet but I think it will be perfect for my lifestyle. I wanted a smaller shoulder bag for traveling. I’m usually wearing a backpack or lightweight tote. This will be a nice addition to my collection.
This is my absolute favorite purse right now. Sunkissed is the perfect neutral pink. The classic size is wonderful for someone that loves a smaller purse.
I purchased this as a gift for my niece. She has raved about how much she loves it. Great summer piece.
I have the large in Lime. She is a beautiful bag, very stylish design. I love the way this bag hugs my body. The soft plush Lime suede is delicious! She holds the same amount as my medium Classic Lola, & that is a lot! I'm saving her for next week, St Patrick's day week! My picture doesn't do her justice. The color is vibrant!
Orchid Nora is absolutely beautiful! The color is so classy and goes with a lot. I ordered AP and it has gorgeous pebbles throughout. The inside has two different colored shades of orchid but the inside colors do not matter to me. The outside is gorgeous! I got the large which is a perfect size for me.
