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.

Love this bag so much that I want to order it in the larger size. Wow you know you love PLG when it has you buying the same bag in a larger size or smaller size or all around different colors. Sienna is gorgeous. It feels like sunset.
R
I love this bag! It is a beautiful suede, love the magnetic closure as well as the stitching make it a unique addition to my purse collection!
S
Gorgeous 🦄🦄

I bought this Rowan because I thought it would be a great purse for church. It is my new neutral bag. I love it with everything! Although it was not marked as such, I learned it was a unicorn from seeing my list of purchases on the PL app.
M
Rowan is really a surprise new acquired taste, didnt think I would but now I have 2, Asheville and a Unicorn both Medium
L
Large Rowan in Unicorn color of Cottage Cheese. This purse is large and in charge. It actually tries to puddle, it’s very soft and squishy. Love it!
K
This pebbled black Rowan is a classic! I can dress it up or down and I love the back pocket. Adding a black tassel takes it to the next level!
B
Love my Unicorn Rowan
M
What a fun bag! Love the colors. Orchid and Cobalt. My first Rowan. Won’t be my last I’m sure.
J
A unicorn Rowan! All I can say is yes! The colors!
J
This is my first Rowan. And it didn't disappoint. I wanted a bigger bag for work, I have a bigger tablet that I use alot for documentations, and it fits beautifully in this bag with plenty of room left over. Again, great quality, great size, definitely a great bag. I got the OS in Orchid, and its perfect.
P
Initially I didn’t like the strap.Then a purse pal posted a picture of it on her, and I asked her about it. I ordered it and I really love it. An easy carry, comfortable strap, beautiful pebbled leather and I am waiting till mid November to carry her. Love love❤️❤️
R
One of those bags I didn’t go in to the store looking for, I was hoping for a light neutral in a tote-style bag. I love giant bags, and the Rowan was much larger in person than I anticipated. Plus I love the back pocket and the front D loop for small charms in the future. The light suede, however, will be tricky. I took it with me to a work conference one day and it came home with a smudge. From where or how, I have no idea. I did have suede cleaner and protector in the house. So I cleaned and brushed it and then protected it, so I’m hoping it holds up to marks a little better going forward
C
Love the bag , wish I gotten the bigger size and the other thing is that the logo is not centered w the ring in the front so a bit disappointed there
B
Rowan is a favorite bag of mine.
A
Gorgeous pebbles and character. I love Sienna so much. This bag is so soft and comforting to hold.
D
First Rowan…. Suede purses are my FAV… Imperial is stunning… can’t wait to use on non-rainy FL days…
A
Love my Large Rowan in Asheville. Such a gorgeous bag! I had to order one in red as well.
A
When I stepped into PLG for the very first time, this was the bag my eyes set on immediately. The cold brew is so rich and elegant. I was looking for a suede or leather shoulder bag but I didn’t want to spend so much on something that wasn’t even 100% leather or any leather for that matter. This bag is HIGH QUALITY.
A
Omg, BESTTTT freaking bag!!! It is so chic and fits so much. Honestly I can even squeeze my 13" Macbook Air in here! The shoulder strap is very comfortable. Love love love!
M
She's perfect for my tavel days!
