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.

Beautiful foxglove
by: KTG
Smooth texture and velvety. Very beautiful in person.
The tote backpack biggest fan
by: Nzingha O.
I love it too the highest the color so vibrant!
Nutmeg Tote Backpack
by: Christy Y.
This may be the perfect bag. Very comfortable and great quality. Perfect size.
The Perfect Backpack!!!
by: Lorie W.
Absolutely stunning cowboy mint tote backpack. I missed this on St. Patrick’s Day so I stalked PLG until it came back in stock. Such a stunning bag!!!
Awesome Backpack
by: Diane S.
I purchased the classic tote backpack in cobalt. I absolutely love it! I had been looking for a backpack for some time and this one is perfect - not too big or too small! Looking forward to taking it on my travels.
Small tote backpack
by: DR
The small tote backpack in shadow lime is a fun spring color. It has small even pebbles and medium firmness. The front zippered pocket is about an inch too short to fully hold my phone. I keep my keys in it. The small canvas organizer fits inside to make up for the lack of an inside pocket. It holds my essentials and a small tablet.
“Oooh, that’s sexy!” Says my husband
by: Kathy U.
I ordered this as a birthday gift ‘from’ my husband. He unboxed it (he didn’t know) and looked at it then wrapped it. He told me he thought it was super sexy and the color was amazing! I love it. Not sure what makes it AP, but I’m very happy with it.
Loving Lagoon
by: Linda N.
The color is just beautiful, a little green and a little blue! The small size is just right for my 5’2” shortness. It’s not deep and bulky but still holds everything I need. I’m loving being hands free.
Perfect size
by: Alice O.
I was torn on a backpack as I’ve never used one as a purse, but this is a perfect size. I love it, only wish it wasn’t quite so heavy.
Amazing Nutmeg Tote Backpack
by: Michelle
My first ever backpack style purse and I love it. This nutmeg tote backpack smells amazing , so soft and lightweight. Holds a lot, I even had plenty of room for a shawl wrap. The zipper is so smooth I can use just one hand. I can’t say enough about this purse. Thanks PLG and Wanda Avon you were right I do love it. It is now my favorite purse🤎
New Favorite!
by: Lauren M.
Miss Satsuma just spent nine days trekking around Europe with me and 15 of my students. I was comfortable and felt stylish, and we were all well supplied on our journey!
Gorgeous Honey Backpack
by: Martha D.
Honey colored backpack is absolutely gorgeous! Color is beautiful and backpack is very roomy! Well made and very easy to carry.
Lava Tote Backpack
by: EL
It's a great functional backpack! Love the variations of leather pull-up!
Gorgeous Tote Backpack
by: Alina F.
Perfect for everyday use but I love it for vacations and family outings. The pebbled leather is so perfect, just the right amount of squish. Held everything I needed and more. Zippers work like butter. Shoulder straps are adjustable. Such a beautiful bag to add to anyones purse/backpack collection.
Lava tote backpack
by: Thao P.
My second tote backpack. First Nutmeg and now Lava. Cannot go wrong with tote backpack. Holds lot of things and give you hand-free to take care of toddler 🤣😂
Cranberry Tote Backpack
by: Christie W.
I have several Tote Backpacks and Cranberry is one of my favorites. It is a slightly cool red color. It's soft and subtle yet has a little bit of structure. It's not an everyday carry for me, but perfect for when I want to go "hands free".
