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 oil tanned 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 & smoothing any scuffs or scratches that may have accumulated. Learn more about caring for your new leather product.
Our full-grain leather is the strongest and most durable available, and the unique texture and natural imperfections from the cow's life have not been sanded, cut or shaved off. Full-grain is SIX times stronger than Buffed, Upholstery or Genuine leather. 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.

Premium Collection
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.

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.

It's perfect
by: Lori
I have never ever been one to care about purses. I usually buy what's functional and don't give it a second thought. But when I needed a new purse, internet searching lead me to PLG. I loved the whole process of buying this purse. The scrolling, the research, the anticipation, the wondering if it would be as good as everyone said, etc. It took 6 days from order to holding and I've had it now about 2 weeks. The meadow is gorgeous. My hands keep wandering to feel the texture. It holds the essentials plus so much more. Plus, every time my eye catches it sitting on the corner, I smile. Like, really smile. This is so unlike me and I'm loving every minute of it!
East coast sunflower
by: Millie P.
My mini crossbody made her maiden voyage accompanying West coast designer Lesley Evers shirt and skort. Love the sunflower color; it goes with everything. And the size is perfect for a short gal (5’2”). Also got the matching rancher wallet. So happy with both pieces!
Great Fall Color
by: Theresa P.
I love my Dakota mini CB! It’s the perfect fall color.
Second Mini Purchase
by: Susan C.
I dithered on this one. Wasn’t sure about the color at all. It’s a discontinued color, and it looked muddy in some of the resale photos I found online. But it kept speaking to me and I took a chance and it’s completely lovely. Perfect spring and summer carry. I also never thought about a bag complementing my silver hair but yeah, that’s another thing I noticed, Love you PLG!
Just the right size and color for my Summer jaunts.
by: Ruth S.
I absolutely love everything abour my new mini crossbody! Just the right size and color for my Summer escapades-even the strap was not too long for my very petite stature. Thanks‼️
Mini cross body in sunflower
by: Svetlana B.
I somehow now have 2of the same purse, one mini and one large. The only difference, other than size is the inner pocket, the mini does not have an inner pocket. I just love the purse for everyday, it fits my diets aid kids kit with hand sanitizer bandaids and hydrogen peroxide travel bottles plus a mini wallet sun glassess phone and room to throw something else in. I love the outside pocket it's the reason i got the purse since its sooooo practical for your phone and maybe mini wallet. That strap was a third party and I should not have been cheap and just got the matching one from poetland leather.
Almost perfect Chonky cold brew
by: Katie R.
When I first started shopping PLG products this was the bag I initially chose to be my first purchase. When I saw orchid I flip-flopped. A few weeks ago there was a free add on with the canvas organizer and I said "heck yeah!" Now I have this beautifully pebbled cold brew mini crossbody and I love her! The inside of the hide is so soft, it smells amazing as always. Best I can tell about it being almost perfect is, the shorter adjustable strap which is perfect for me since I'm 5'2. A win with this gorgeous bag❣️
Stunning Sunflower 🌻 Mini Cross Body
by: Susan N.
She’s a beauty! Love the Mini CB’s and Sunflower certainly did not disappoint!!! The leather is gorgeous, firm yet pliable. Picture is with the Multi Strap (purchased separately), a Taco 🌮 keychain and Petunia Pouch, both in Sunflower 🌻. The bag does come with the matching leather crossbody strap in Sunflower (not pictured). My apologies for the lack of sunshine in the picture. Can’t control Mother Nature. If you’re on the fence about purchasing, don’t wait. You will not be sorry!💛💛💛
Perfect
by: Marie
If you’re around 5’2” like me, this is the perfect size for your things and the last hole on the strap makes for the perfect drop length. The bag depth is perfect to fit your small wallet (I have their small envelope one), keys, a bottle of water, snacks, and other small misc items. I have this bag in nutmeg too and I can see why other people are obsessed with PLG! Everything is so well made, perfect, and smells so good. FYI, I was able to return an online purchase at their retail store in Portland. No exchanges at their store, just returns. And then if you find something you like instead, you can just buy it there :)
EVERYTHING I hoped it would be!
by: Alexandra H.
I've had my eye on the pebbles black mini tote for awhile now and was SO excited to see it on a managers sale in the Gladstone store! Snag it up and love it so much!
Love it!
by: karina n.
I ordered the mini tote bag in nutmeg. It’s a lot more red than anticipated but I still like it. I love the size for every day. Is there an in between size from the regular and mini?? I want to try other bags. Love the texture and slouchiness of the pebbled leather .
Mini CB
by: Tina Z.
Something about this mini CB, it’s so beautiful squishy and cobalt is everything!! I just love it!
Koi makes me so happy
by: Catharine P.
I can't find a single thing wrong with this Almost Perfect bag. This is my third Mini Crossbody and it's my favorite one yet. The color is happy (my photo doesn't do it justice), and the leather smells amazing. Another win for PLG!
Beautiful, functional and quality Mini CB
by: Deborah G.
This was my first PLG purchase, a basic Black Pebbled AP Mini Crossbody. I'm happy to say I'm very pleased. The soft pebbled leather is beautiful, structure is sturdy, size is adequate for my needs, and overall quality is great. I'm glad to have the small canvas organizer also. It will be an everyday bag and be used for years. This won't be my last purchase, but what a challenge to decide what's next, with so many styles and colors from which to choose!
AP Ruby Mini Crossbody Did Not Disappoint
by: Donna G.
I’m loving my “Almost Perfect” Ruby! Goes perfectly with my Birkenstock Fire Red Arizonas. So far, AP products have all been lovely for me!
Highest Quality and I am in LOVE
by: One c.
I ordered the green version of this bag and I am so impressed with the quality, durability and fast shipping of this “Almost Perfect” bag. The creators truly are picky about their work because I found NOTHING wrong and neither did my boyfriend, father, and mother. I love leather and it’s been hard for me to find the perfect purse that is high quality and also inexpensive. The “Almost Perfect” bags fit all of the requirements for this. It also smells amazing!! 10/10
I absolutely love my cross bag mini!
by: Dionne B.

I love the structure of my mini cb tote in meadow. It is beautiful and the perfect size for carrying all necessities for a day!
T
Love it!! The smell, the color, the size, the quality! All top notch!! Don’t know why I waited so long to order. Love this purse so much. Ready to order another ☺️
J
I love this bag! I carry a couple of heavy items, and the crossbody feature allows much better weight distribution than my shoulder bag. The quality is really great, and I love the organizer, as there are no pockets in the interior. I ordered the medium organizer, and it's really just a bit large for the mini. I'm going to order the small one, because I think it will be a better fit.
K
INCREDIBLE! The cold brew leather is so soft and simply amazing. The mini crossbody is perfection and even though it was an "almost perfect", there was nothing wrong with it.
D
This lil tote is the perfect everyday size for me! It's a beautiful, stylish, well-made and useful bag.
Coldbrew is a neutral, deep brown, any-time-of-the-year shade & while it's firm enough to stand on its own, it's also very soft. I added the canvas insert to satisfy my need to organize and there's even room for my can of water.
One small detail I love is how the crossbody strap attaches INSIDE the bag so you can swap to the handles anytime without the strap just hanging there.
I don't often buy things for myself, but I'm glad I did!
