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?

Such a great size for a daily carry for work!
by: Sandy H.
Such a great size for a daily carry for work. I just love the color and the zipper is great.
Berry Good(ness)
by: Brenda C.
What a beautiful bag! My very first EW Lola and she does NOT disappoint! The color is so rich and inviting. The size is absolutely perfect for days I need to carry a little extra! Question is what color do I need next?!?!
Love it !
by: Jane
I love m’y Lola!!! She fits all the contents of my laptop backpack + more. My 13.5 laptop fits along with all my office essential. Yes she’s big but she is classy, sturdy, and a staple in my closet.
Love it!
by: KITTY T.
Had to take her outside to get the gorgeous Aruba colour to photograph right (this still doesnt do it justice!) But my E/W Lola is all dressed up and ready for work! She barely fits my laptop(14"x9.25" for anyone wondering), but it's workable! And my Kindle Scribe and daily stuff fits beautifully even with a laptop stuffed in there diagonally. I love the over-the-shoulder/ crossbody option, and the zipper too! Really it's an amazing bag.
Fantastic Work Bag
by: stacy y.
Nutmeg in AP OS East/West Lola Crossbody Tote is what dreams are made of! I tend to gravitate towards Coldbrew so this is my first bag in Nutmeg and I understand the hype around this color! The pebbles are pebbling and the slouch is perfect. After graduating from my PhD program I downsized to a Fjällräven Raven 28 Backpack at the start of my postdoc appointment. After hearing that this tote could possible hold a 17" laptop, I was willing to try it out and I was not disappointed. I am able to fit the 17" laptop with room to spare on each side so it's not a tight fit, a utility pouch, famed frame pouch, umbrella, 35oz Brumate water bottle, and a other pouch. Bonus - the betta fish, petunia pouch, and PLG webbed strap look great with Nutmeg! Adding my Chthulu completes my perfect work bag!
Gorgeous!
by: Cathleen M.
My boreal EW lola had gorgeous striations and huge pebbles. Absolutely adore this bag.
Beautiful and functional!
by: Carrie J.
I purchased this for my daughter, who will be going away to university this fall. It is very functional as it can be used as a crossbody and will fit a laptop and much more. Its inside pocket will be great for her phone. The lines of the bag make it very stylish. She chose the color Storm, which is such a beautiful soft brushed leather.
Over the moon for Moonflower!
by: RobinY
She is beautiful and a great size for a Spring day! Love that I can use her as a crossbody or shoulder bag.
Lovely Lola
by: Celena V.
I love my east west Lola in Chestnut ! I think a smooth structured leather is better for this style
Astro Blue is THAT GIRL!
by: Toyisha A.
sharing my FIRST PLG purchase! East West Lola in Astro Blue. Picked this beauty up during the AP sale as a birthday treat to myself! All I can say is WOW, this colorway is GORGEOUS! Fits everything one could need, 14 in laptop included!
Bag I didn’t know I needed
by: Kelley W.
I didn’t plan in getting this bag since I wasn’t a fan of the north south version, but this is the bag I didn’t know I needed. By far my favorite PLG bag!
Large Lola Love!
by: Lissa S.
The size is a perfect width to hold my MacBook Pro 16” laptop in its sleeve plus carry all my essentials (sticks out the top about 2 inches which is fine). It has a structured professional look, and I prefer the handles over the crossbody strap but options are always good. I’ve pretty much only purchased AP items and have been very pleased with the quality. I love cognac and its rich color!!
Classic and Gorgeous
by: Lesley T.
Love the E/W Lola- big enough for all my essentials and small enough not to overwhelm me. Here she is in Beluga (beautiful ❤️) and a little Deep Water flair.
Lovely Lola!
by: Christi S.
The new east/west Lola is great when you need a bigger bag but still want structure.
Beautiful
by: Carol C.
I was so happy (and relieved) that my large Lola aqua tote was flawless. Just so gorgeous. Same with the second aqua I bought. Perfection. When PLG does it right, you can't beat them. I like that my laptop fits in the tote really easily. I feel lucky because there is definitely a quality control issue with these bags. I can't lie about that. But all of mine have been gorgeous and perfect. I am not going to break my aquas out til after the holidays (am carrying Anjou and Sangria over these holidays) but it's stunning. Just stunning. I might be bringing it to Maui at the end of January.
Favorite PLG Bag
by: Kate M.
This has become my favorite bag hands-down. It’s the perfect dimensions for a work bag. My laptop is 12.5 in and fits perfectly, along with all its accessories. The black is so beautiful and classic. I love the structure of the bag.
Def a great buy!
by: Jessica
So I'm not a huge fscb fan. Not sure why, I think it's bc they're super slouchy. I wanted more structure. Lola is perfect! She's a bit on the heavy side but that's probably bc Dakota is heavier also bc the way the panels need to be sewn to be structured. That being said, it doesn't bother me much, if it gets heavy I pull the strap out and cb it. Love the color, the size is great, can fit a bunch of books a utility, journal etc etc. It's such a good size! I bought a second bc it was such a good fit for my lifestyle!
Customer Reviews
Have waited a long time to find just the right Empire bag. The N/S style and Empire color are a perfect match. Not too big, not too small. Very soft and quishy!!
Ordered this as a gift. In the friends words… oh my goodness, it’s perfect. North South Lola’s are absolute work horses. She will use this as a work bag and the leather is so soft in nutmeg.
My young adult daughter loves it. She saw my crossbody and fell in love with the quality but wanted a dark color large bag. Rewarded all her hard work with the N/S Lola and she loves it.
She’s big she’s squishy she’s perfect
This is my first Lola and I love it! ❤️
