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, 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.

Sidekick indeed!
by: Deborah G.
This little pouch is perfect! Just the right size to hold a myriad of little goodies. I love the shape and the pebbly yumminess that is Nutmeg!
Alaska Blue Sidekick
by: Customer
Buttery soft, squishy goodness! Absolutely love the shade of blue. Bought her to hold pens and hi-liters and I don’t think I could have made a better selection. Perfect addition to my bag for work. 💙
Forrest Green sidekick
by: Kay D.
I really like the structure of Ballpark but the squisy Sidekick adds a nice variety. Together they hold a lot! Easy to pull out what I want without digging to the bottom of my bag.
Nice sidekick
by: Janice C.
I’ve never had anything like this and honestly didn’t give a second look at them UNTIL I was finally able to get me some prescription sunglasses. My husband actually suggested it and I thought it was a great idea. The sidekick is great for keeping them safe. Well made bag. Happy with it.
Forest Green is Gorgeous!
by: Ashley S.
The sidekick pouch in forest green is gorgeous! The color and leather is so rich in this tone! Very happy with the size of this pouch, I’m currently using it for my nail care tools & it holds everything I need with room to spare. Hoping PL will make the small bifold wallet in Forest Green too cause I would scoop that right up!
Beautiful sidekick
by: Katie C.
I've been wanting one of these and did a ton of research before I chose the color of the one I wanted. A lot of people said to get a pebble color for extra and they were so right! It's so squishy and perfect for organizing! I love the Coldbrew.
I love this little pouch!
by: Julie K.
I have 3 of these gems for different purses. I keep a pen, an emery board, a travel bottle of Tylenol, eye drops, hand lotion ,bandaids, a tide stick, nail clippers, a lipstick or chapstick. It’s my very favorite little!
Perfect!
by: Taylor G.
Great pouch for pens and other loose items in my purse. Fits nicely at the bottom or up the side of my medium crossbody and my classic tote backpack. Got it in cold brew!
Love it more than I thought.
by: Customer
I’ve decided to organize my bags with littles, thought I’d try the sidekick since I already had a seashell pouch. I didn’t think I’d care much for the sidekick because I was really impressed with my seashell, I was completely wrong! I love that it’s long and narrow, but also fits a lot of stuff. I have my lipsticks, feminine hygiene products, mascara and my pen. I like to place it long ways in my purse so it’s easy to grab. I also decided on the orchid just to make it quick to find in my purse, and fell in love with the color and the feel. I need more of these perfect little bags.

Perfect for my makeup
by: Cassi S.
This is exactly what I was looking for to toss my makeup in for my purse. It’s not too big. The zipper opens and closes smoothly. The materials are beautiful. Fits perfectly. It holds plenty. I love it! This was my first Portland Leather purchase. They gained a new customer. It goes great with my existing purse. There were so many colors to choose from. I can’t wait to try a full size bag! ✨
Customer Reviews
I really liked the seashell pouch but it was a little too tall, I tried the taco tassel next but it wasn't quite long enough. I finally gave the sidekick a try and it is my favorite one! It holds my longer items better than the taco tassel and I can reach everything at once compared to the seashell.
Wonderful addition to my collection. Hold all of the loose items in my purse so I can easily access them.
The Sidekick Pouch’s name is so fitting! Great carry all of all the things and fits even in my smaller bags. Great for makeup, pens and pencils, medications- everything. Must have a few in the PLG arsenal.
This is such a versatile pouch
I can’t get enough of the sidekick. It is perfect to hold the multitude of long items I carry, including, pen, pencil, hand cream, spoolie, tweezer, travel ibuprophen, lip balm and glass cleaning cloth. Keeping everything in a handy pouch makes transferring bags so easy.
