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. It's 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

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Classy Bone Nora (Large)
by: Marie M.
This bag is so beautiful, the structure in the Bone leather really lends itself to this style I think! It's light and comfy and I was surprised I can even get my planner in it! The first picture shows all I had in it in the second picture. Third and Fourth more views. I can't decide if i prefer it with or without purse flair/charms. I'm very happy with her.
The best everyday bag!
by: RCM
One of my favorite bags and I use it everyday. I was in need of a black leather bag and I'm so happy I found this one. It looks and feels amazing! I was surprised because it was bigger than expected, but it works out because I bring so many things with me including my phone, cardholders, a film camera, a few lipglosses, lip liners, cash, etc. Would absolutely recommend and I think this makes a wonderful gift as well!
Customer Reviews
Love the style and it’s sooooo comfortable!
The large Nora in mango is beautiful!!! It’s just the right size. It holds the same items I carried in my large Devan and medium crossbody bags. I wasn’t sure if I would love a smaller under the arm shoulder bag, but it’s perfect. I love the 2 sewn in pockets on the inside. I have received so many compliments on this bag. It’s perfect for summer and fall.
Cute little bag with a boho look
I had a classic Nora and she was beautiful. The style spoke to me, but at 5'10", she was just too small. Then along comes Large Nora, in Cobalt no less. And let me tell you it is LOVE. Classy or casual, she can do both and I am crazy about it. I love this purse. I recently purchased the strap extender so she has even more options and will sometimes be crossbody as well.
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.
