Almost Perfect items can feature more prominent character marks than our Premium line, and/or small stitching variations, showcasing the aesthetic variety of our natural hides and handmade designs.
Why do you use leather with prominent character marks in the first place?
We only qualify Almost Perfect in terms of cosmetic irregularities that have absolutely no impact on the quality or durability of our products. Rather, we figured that it'd be a shame to waste such beautiful and functional leather, so we decided to sell it at a discounted price.
What type of imperfection will I get with this bag?
Each of our Almost Perfect bags is one of a kind! While we can't say for sure which one you'll receive, some common character marks our customers find are pebbling and color variation, scars and striations, or a stitch out of place. That being said, rest assured that none of these "imperfections" will impact the functionality of the bag in any way!
What if I don't love my Almost Perfect bag?
Everything from our Almost Perfect collection (excluding Mystery Box bundles) falls under our usual return policy. For more detailed information, visit our Returns page.
Please note that our pebbled leather, like all of our leather, is a natural product. You may notice changes in grain or texture throughout your bag. Other companies artificially press a pebble texture into their leather. However, the pebbling of our leather is achieved naturally through an extra tumbling process which leaves some areas of the hide smoother than others.

Superb quality!
by: Jessica W.
From the moment I started opening my box, and a rich leather scent enveloped me, I knew this was going to be high quality. What a gorgeous tote! I purchased the honey/dark brown medium sized tote and it is superb! From the beautiful rich color, the contrasting handles, dedicated craftsmanship, to the quality leather, everything about this tote screams classic and chic. The medium size tote is perfect in size, roomy but still a purse without going into the travel bag size. I also purchased the eclipse style makeup bag in honey and love pairing the two bags together for style and organization. Stop buying flimsy little totes, make this purchase, and you’ll never buy another tote again - well, you’ll likely buy another from Portland Leather but that’s only because you LOVE it so much!
Tote Luv
by: Barbara K.
On the fence? Not sure if a tote is your style? Don’t wait! Jump in with both feet and give a tote some loving. I chose the Oversized Zipper Tote in Westward Blue. I wasn’t sure what to expect but boy was I surprised. I needed something for my crocheting. It’s perfect! There’s plenty of room for my needle/hook pouch, 4-5 large skeins of yarn, and the project I’m working on. What will you use your tote for?
Moab Medium
by: Tara D.
I’m in love with this classic purse! I purchased the medium which is a perfect size for everyday use. My almost perfect did have a few scuff marks on the back, which seems different than most people’s reviews saying that they couldn’t see any marks or imperfections on their bags. I love it, but wanted to mention that I do see marks on mine. Not enough to return, and figured more scuffs will happen naturally. My toddler really likes it too!
Timeless classic
by: Jenna L.
The Durango leather is gorgeous in person, I know this small tote is going to age like a dream. The classic totes are my favorite for their timeless, effortless appeal.
The perfect tote!
by: Emily K.
I received my medium classic leather tote in Lava and it is amazing! The color is absolutely stunning. I’m so glad I was able to scoop it up. The leather feels so luxurious, it has a mix of smooth and pebbled. The inside is spacious. There is plenty of room for my computer, iPad, wallet, cardigan, kids snacks, and way more! I love that there is both an outside and inside pocket, and the loop on the inside for keys is genius. I highly recommend this bag!
Small Astro Blue Tote
by: Lindsay J.
I'm a little sad that the small tote is retiring, because I found her to be such a great size. In the picture, that bag has a change of clothes, a phone charger, a taco (which has hand sanitizer, chapstick, and mints), a small bag with toiletries, a paperback book, my wallet, keys, and my phone would fit inside too! And if you're not afraid of bright colors, don't sleep on astro blue. I kept thinking about that color and I'm so glad I decided to get her. It'll brighten your day!
Perfection 🥭
by: Danielle R.
I am so in love with my Mango tote. It is simply perfection. It’s my favorite PLG Baig with the grizzly tassel. It’s my go to. Love it as my work bag and am so happy when I carry her!
Great airplane carryon
by: Lyons
This is my everyday work bag and it worked perfectly on a recent flight. It fits under the seat just fine. I did not find any imperfections in my almost perfect honey zippered tote.
Beautiful Dakota!
by: Stephanie C.
I was waiting for a different neutral to order OS zip tote and Dakota is a winner! I love the rustic texture and neutral color. It will be treasured for many years to come!
Beautiful & Great Quality
by: Meghan C.
Gorgeous bag, love the cold brew leather color and feel. I had been afraid to buy without seeing it in person, but it has exceeded my expectations. As other reviewers have commented, the ‘almost perfect’ looks perfect to me.
My travel buddy!
by: Jade L.
I’ve been using the Honey-colored medium tote bag for weeks now, and it has become my go-to bag for everyday use. The quality is outstanding. Perfect size for my daily essentials. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of durable tote.
Perfect....can't find a flaw!!
by: Janet S.
Beautiful leather tote. I have it in Dakota, and my daughter liked it so much that I got her the black one that she wanted. It arrived quickly and is as lovely as mine is. She will use it for work to carry her laptop and other miscellaneous items.
Just the Perfect Bag (nothing almost about it)
by: AJ B.
The 'Almost Perfect Leather Tote Bag" is completely perfect. Got the small size and it still carries my MacBook Pro, IPad and all the miscellaneous items I need to carry around. Both in a professional capacity or on the town with friends, this bag is all I need. And it looks good! But, best of all, it is not heavy. It really doesn't add much weight to my already overburdened load. Light and sturdy, just what I need!
More please!
by: Barbara K.
I said I would add more Oversized Totes to my collection and I am true to my word. The most recent addition is a Westward Blue zippered OS tote. The color is beautiful! The feel is smooth and velvety. It has become my fabric arts bag and I think I made the perfect choice. Now I need to choose my next color. Maybe Larkspur? Maybe Velvet Blue? Hmmmm..
Gorgeous tote! The color is amazing! Many compliments in the brief time I’ve owned it
by: Cyndy A.

by: Sharlene B.

OS Work bag
by: Alexandria J.
I'm a nurse and need to bring everything and more with me for long overnight shifts. This bag holds my stethoscope, trauma sheers, jacket, puffer vest, lunch, water, and all of the littles I need!
Love this bag!!
by: Corina S.

Perfect church bag for a binder, scriptures, mints, etc.

I was looking for a large tote that would hold a laptop and a few other items. This is perfect for carrying laptop to and from work. Love it
I wanted a bigger bold tote! Got her in phoenix! She’s big & beautiful!
B
The tote looks perfect to me, I don’t know why it was sold as almost perfect. It is very soft and squishy and it fits soooo much. The handles were stiff at first but they soften nicely with use (I played with them a lot at first to expedite the process) it is the second tote I buy and I think they are great. The other one is a large and this one I got over sized to use as weekender bag
J
Great overnight bag, love the smooth leather Black, one of my favorite as it's a classic look!
