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.
Top Grain: Top-grain starts from the same premium zone of the hide but is lightly sanded and finished for a more uniform surface. That light correction softens and evens the face while keeping most of the strength you want. Takes pigment and protective finishes beautifully, which helps with colorfastness and stain resistance. Ages gracefully, especially when we keep the finish thin enough to let the leather breathe and break in.
We use top-grain when a smoother cosmetic is the goal—think color consistency across large panels—without walking away from the core strength you expect from a Portland bag.
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.
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.

Beautiful bag in large!
by: Maribel R.
I really love this bag style and decided to be adventurous ordering it in a large pebbled bone. While I really love it I do prefer darker colors so will exchange for a coldbrew. I want a bag I’m not afraid to use. Anyways, I influenced my daughter with my large sloan purchase that she got her own in a smooth black. She loves it so much, it looks sophisticated! Her first black bag too! Added photo of the coldbrew large Sloan, she’s a keeper!!!
Love this bag!
by: Justin T.
I’ve been looking for the perfect daily cross body bag! This large sloan in Grizzly is perfect! Just large enough to hold things I need daily but not too large that I over fill it and make it too heavy.
When you let the store tell you what you need
by: Mattie D.
The Sloan was kind of on my radar, but when I made a trip to Woodburn I had a triangle or a calla lily firefly in mind. There was one triangle in a color I didn't like and I didn't love the calla lily firefly in person. Then I was drawn to this beauty. I love the size, I love the removable crossbody and top handles. I try not to duplicate colors too often and I have a mini cb in nutmeg, but the cream zipper on this is just a showstopper to me. Large is the perfect size for a small/medium bag lover like myself.
This small bag holds quite a bit
by: Marilyn J.
This small bag holds quite a bit. Elegant. I got it in wasabi. Love the zipper and the handles sre.long enough to be useful. Great little bag. Inhave one.moremon order, I liked it so well.
She is a gorgeous bag!
by: Customer
She is a gorgeous bag! Got her in coldbrew this is my 7th purchase! The oversized will not disappoint! JUST GET THE BAG!
Sloan
by: Merrill P.
The Sloan bag is adorable. The small and the large both hold more then you think. This is the small. A bifold, small Luna pouch, small sidekick and a squeeze eye glass case. And yes she zipped up, no problem 😉
Sloan doctor in large (Aquarius)
by: Bailey O.
Large is a great option if you like to carry extra essentials it fits more then just the average basic necessities. The small canvas organizer fits perfect with extra room on the sides just to give an idea on how much you can fit. I love blue so Aquarius was an easy pick for me.
Obsessed.
by: Lyndsy P.
I truly love this bag. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be the right size reviews say it’s really small but ended up being perfect. Whether you throw in a few things for a quick trip or transition your small organizer from another bag to this it has plenty of room. I’ll definitely be getting it in more colors. Chestnut was a must! (5’1” size S/M)
Oversized is perfect sized
by: Miranda K.
I like a little extra room in my bag to carry anything that comes my way, so Oversize is my perfect size. I also think the shade Aquarius is really beautiful two tone blue.
Surprisingly one of my favorites
by: Kat
There were a lot of set expectations about a "doctor bag" before this came out, and I and it I was one who was a bit skeptical about this, but decided to go for it. I knew the large will be more apt for my daily needs - and boy, it didn't disappoint! It is definitely roomier than it seems! It's about the same capacity as a mini CB, just different shape, so it looks more compact. Also love the wide opening so I can easily access my stuff. I love the Chestnut so much I got a Cobalt to have a pebbled version.
OS Sloan (Grizzly) STUNNING COLOR AND BAG OF PLG
by: Cheryl Z.
When I received the OS Sloan in Grizzly it's the most stunning color I have ever seen. I have found purse peace with Grizzly and highly recommend getting an OS Sloan in Grizzly!
Tiny bag big treasure
by: Karin B.
This bag is compact but you are able to put quite a lot into it. I love being able to hold on to it with the two handle straps or if I want to sling it across my body and be hands free. The leather is true quality. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is the zipper. I wish the zipper was a YKK zipper or one that was better quality. The zipper is constantly getting caught on itself.
Amazing small bag
by: Iryna S.
So nice and super specious little bag. I bought it in dark brown color. Got lots of compliments. Love it!!!
Large Cobalt Sloan
by: Nicole S.
I ordered my first Sloan in Large Cobalt. This bag fits an amazing amount of items and is a beautiful pebbled blue. The handles after just a couple uses have softened and fold down over each other naturally now when not in use, so pretty!! Here she is on arrival next to my gorgeous Aruba Butterfly and Crunchwrap and another in direct sun out for her first adventure 💙
Customer Reviews
I love this purse! Kept waiting on it but I ended up still wanting it so I got it. It is very puddly. It is not too big despite being called "oversized", which is good for me. I love the large, but the extra space in the oversized is most welcome especially for traveling. If puddly isn't your thing, don't pick Sunshine. This leather melts like a puddle 😅 I'm still getting used to it because I've always gotten more firm leathers that keep their shape. I still love this one though. It's perfect with the egg flair!
I resisted the Sloan doc bag all this time but I found a beautiful velvet brown lg at the MI store. Test packed her and brought her home. Such a rich saturated color and truly velvety.
The oversized Sloan was my first purse from PLG, and it is still a favorite style of mine. I got it in evergreen, and it goes with most of my closet.
The oversized Sloan is one of my favorite bags, and I definitely needed a versatile color to add to my collection. My black Sloan has become my every day bag.
