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 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.

August Tote
by: Tonia D.
I absolutely love this tote. The leather of night owl is soft and the bag is lightweight. I'm able to fit everything needed to travel back and forth to work.
Great big tote!
by: Amanda C.
The August Tote is fantastic! Large enough for my laptop, notebook book, reading material, water bottle, and everything else I lug around for work. Simple lines make the August a very visually appealing everyday bag. There are not outer pockets, so it is a very clean look. Green Apple is a beautiful smooth leather that is so pretty in person!
my whole life fits inside
by: Gianna A.
I am so glad I went with the large. It’s beautiful and fits everything! I’m a hairdresser and I throw in my shoes, lunch, water bottle and more.its so much better than having multiple canvas totes now I just need only this one and I feel cute! I’m using it for a long weekend trip and It’s proven to be perfect. I have my sketchbooks and sandals and snacks. I keep it all organized with canvas pouches. Anyways I love it.
Tote-lly stylish!

I love this bag!!! When it first came out it was not a style that I thought that I would like. Once people started getting it, I decided to give it a try and man oh man I love it! So comfortable!!! Need in more colors!
Sleek Work Bag
by: Lilly
I got the large in black. I will carry for formal work events and travel. I needed something to hold my large work laptop. As well as 2 large 40oz bottles. And all other things for a day of travel or conference. Love the clean simple style it will serve me well for years.

My new favorite
by: Jennifer D.
The cobalt medium August tote is everything you need your tote to be. Stays on your shoulder, has the key ring inside, a big pocket inside, and plenty of room for all your essentials. It’s classy and down to earth all at the same time. I love! 💜
Perfect
by: Lisa R.
I had to return the first tote I bought because of a problem with the chemical smell but the second one I ordered is perfection. The baccalar is the perfect green to me. Holds a ton of stuff and will accommodate the large organizer. And I LOVE the large pocket inside. Super fast shipping too. Thanks p l g for the outstanding customer service !!
Beautiful and Soft
by: Carolyn H.
Received the large August tote in plum. She’s perfect. Great size, soft handles, I will use her all the time for work and travel.
Customer Reviews
Love, love and oh I love this bag!!!
I LOVE a good tote, and PLG has them perfected. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the matching leather handles - as all my other totes use the bridle leather. However, upon receiving an August in Bacalar, I decided the matching handles are super cute and stylish. I think the August has a slightly elevated and sleek look to it compared to my others. It's also a great size and can handle lots of items. I ended up gifting mine to my cousin when I found out she too was a PLG lady!
The August is fabulous & the color Mango makes it shine! It’s classy as well as the perfect size for not just everyday but also date night. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it.
What a beauty!🤩 So functional, and such an amazing bag! I plan on using it for travel. Had room for ALL the travel stuff and will fit my mini metro in Meadow too!
I found a gorgeous hot pink August tote in the store. It’s now my favorite work bag. Love how it’s so lightweight, but structured, and roomy enough to fit my giant laptop
