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.

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.

First purchase & Im hooked!

by: Customer

My sister has many PLG products, and I have contemplated buying one and I finally caved and bought a nutmeg classic backpack. I will admit that when I first saw it, it was a little more red than I anticipated but I put some leather protectant on it, and I am IN LOVE! I also purchased a wallet off of treet. Anywho! I took it with me to have surgery and used it to hold my iPad, a little power bank and such, my husband held it while I was being prepped and ALL of the nurses complimented it (and him) and we totally fan girled over how we all love the backpack and the products. It was my first PLG purchase, so to hear such good feedback from random strangers, was such a reassurance! Here’s a picture, it’s not a very good one, but still cute! I was in Portland with my Portland Leather Good! Here’s another photo I took.

Small tote backpack

by: Emily J.

I use the classic tote backpack as my everyday bag. I ordered the mini for times when I don't need as much but want to be hands free. Picture is my plum classic compared to my orchid small. 1. I love that the straps of the small are continuous/self-contained instead of having the ends curl up like the classic can be prone to do. 2. I wish the straps on the small were *slightly* wider. Not quite as wide as the classic, since that would be out of proportion. I haven't worn it all day yet but so far the thinner straps are still comfortable. 3. I didn't realize that the small does not have an internal pocket. My fault for missing it in the description. Not a huge deal, but I would be bothered by it if it was for everyday use. 4. I LOVE the orchid leather. It's soft and pebbled, beautiful color that will give a nice pop but also go with a lot of different outfits. Feels very similar to my coldbrew bags. Overall, I love it.

Oh, Aqua!

There are so many variations I have seen of this leather, and I have a bunch of them, but this one is the best! It's going to break in like your favorite pair of jeans, but allowing you to eat ice cream every day without affecting your ability to wear them. Not that that happened to me.

very nice

Tote Backpack sm

I'm not a backpack person but wanted to give this a try. It's a great size.

Love the orchid color! This backpack is the perfect size and not heavy

Pretty and practical

The color is stunning, the backpack is practical and the right size. I was able to put a water bottle, some snacks, eyeglasses, sunglasses, and even a windbreaker while I was playing tourist. It’s not too long and it’s not too thick (it doesn’t protrude like when some of the backpacks I wear feel like a turtle shell lol)
