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.
Almost perfect
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.
Savings
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.

The Portland Leather Difference
Trusted by over 1 Million customers
Gorgeous!
by: Laura T.
Ordered a large Almost Perfect and can’t see any flaws. Beautiful bright and cheerful lime color. The suede is gorgeous!
Beautiful!
by: Kelley T.
Orchid Nora is absolutely beautiful! The color is so classy and goes with a lot. I ordered AP and it has gorgeous pebbles throughout. The inside has two different colored shades of orchid but the inside colors do not matter to me. The outside is gorgeous! I got the large which is a perfect size for me.
Love Love Love it
by: Naomi
The Nora is a very attractive style and Mango is so beautiful. I absolutely love it!
Gorgeous!
by: Joan
It’s perfect! I love the soft suede feeling, it brings me back to when I was a kid in the 70’s. Her bag name is also my 1st granddaughter’s name and her beautiful color name is my name, “Joni”!!!!!! 💙
Love my Nora
by: Tami
A great shoulder bag with plenty of room.
Quickly becoming a favorite
by: Jen W.
The Nora is QUICKLY becoming one of my favorite styles. The shape is just so cute and it's a comfortable bag to wear. I have a couple larges, but the classic size is my sweet spot. This gorgeous new Lollipop is now my 12th Nora.
Classic Sunkissed Nora
by: Taylor L.
I normally use crossbody bags but this Nora is so comfy and stable on my shoulder! The size is perfect. Sunkissed is such a pretty muted pink color. Got AP and I honestly cant find anything wrong with it. Picture includes pom tassel in Mamey.
Perfect Gift
by: Glenda
Bought this for my 15-year-old granddaughter and she loves it! Its beauty exceeded my expectations! She squealed with delight. Sure beats those nylon vinyl bags she’s been used to.
Everything I need in an everyday bag
by: Alex
I ordered this in a different color initially, I had some concerns with it and was able to return it without any issues thanks to package protection that I purchased. I exchanged it for the same bag in cognac and am in LOVE! the leather is so smooth, the color is so warm to me, I’ll use it year round but it’s perfect for a fall and winter wardrobe. It’s just such a rich color. The quality is amazing and for the price?! Unmatched. I can tell this leather will last forever as long as I care for it. It’s perfect, I got a size large and I think it’s the perfect size. The drop is adjustable, it’s a very comfortable bag to wear, honestly no complaints at all! Thanks PLG!
My favorite everyday carry!
by: Anna C.
I got the classic Nora in Peppercorn and I love this bag and leather! Nora is the perfect size and shape and the leather is soft and squishy. The color is absolutely perfect and goes with almost everything! Highly recommend!!
Customer Reviews
I’m so sorry that the large Nora is being retired! I think it’s a classic shape and the large size is so practical. This forest green is almost a neutral because of the deep dark color and pebbled texture. It’s a beautiful color and a beautiful bag.
Got this in Pebbled Black - I was looking at my Noras and realized I don't have a classic black color and of course I wanted pebbles. Looks great!
Absolutely gorgeous bag! I got it in the sun kissed color and it’s so beautiful, hugs my body perfectly! Highly recommended!
This is a great little bag. I normally carry a bigger bag but this one holds all my essentials. Quality leather used on the bag. Prefer a longer shoulder strap but still a great bag.
So happy my daughter told me to try this style. I didn’t gravitate to it but it is roomier than I thought. It is stylish and smells delicious. Cobalt is my new favorite color at the moment. Great character
