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.

Love at first sight
by: Hannah D.
I have never wanted a Madison bag until I saw it during my first visit to the Gladstone store. I spotted a chili red beauty on the bottom shelf and it was love. I had to have her... I never thought I would love a bag so much but it's perfect. The medium is a great size and holds everything I need, also stays on my shoulder so well!!!
I ordered the large Madison in sienna
by: Jalonda B.
I ordered the large Madison in sienna. I love the color, the size was a bit smaller than I hoped. I guess I’ll have to get another.
Simply Lovely!
by: Elizabeth B.
I love the clean lines and functional design- but most of all I love how cute it is! First off, I love how brushed leathers hold up to anything and it is just the most perfect blue. Second, this leather is so slouchy and easy going, which is rare for me to find because I tend to like the look of “smooth” leather, but I get that here in the ultra soft brushed: a smooth look and a puddle of a bag. I love the size and pockets as well. In short- this one is perfection!
Miss Madison
by: April L.
After hearing from other purse pals that the Madison was small and the drop length was kind of short, I was a bit nervous about my order. Ends up, not only is the AP Medium Madison in Orchid pebbley, pretty goodness, but it's just the right size to me! It fits all I need with a bit of room to spare.
Love my forest green Madison!
by: Valerie B.
This large Madison is a perfect size for me. I use a utility for the little stuff, two gorditas for more little stuff, and a large bifold wallet or a quesadilla, and still have plenty of room for my Kindle, iPhone, and whatever else I may need. The two front pockets are handy, too, for lists and pens, and other things that need to be especially handy. This is my first look at forest green which is pebbly yet has some structure and I really like it. A beautiful color for fall!
Great bag!
by: Linda W.
I received my large AP Madison and was a little surprised by the size. I have a difficult time imagining the dimensions with what the bag will actually be. I thought it would be larger. It will probably be a nice large size for most people. However, I can still fit more in my Classic Medium CB (my absolute favorite bag) than I can in Madison! I believe it is because of “the dip” in the middle. The wasted space on the sides that can’t be used is deceiving in the measurement. Again…just my opinion. Love the Sienna color. My AP pebbles are not even, but that is a normal risk with AP (not complaining-but really more of a c-grade bag). Very different design and nice to see PLG going “outside of the box” with new designs. But my true love, so far, is still my Classic Medium CB.
Chili 🌶️ Red Madison
by: Cynthia A.
I was watching for the perfect design for me in Chili 🌶️ Red. I purchased the medium Madison. Love the 2 front pockets and the design of the Bag. I purchased the AP but can’t find anything wrong she looks perfect. I had purchased some prior pieces to match.
So comfy and casual
by: Jen W.
LOVE this bag- it's small so you'll want a large Madison, which holds about the same as a medium crossbody or regular Lola. It's beautiful and squishy in sienna and holds everything, I love the outside pocket and the chunky handles hold flair really well without it flopping all over the place when you set your bag down. I use a large organizer inside the large Madison.

Customer Reviews
Ordered another today! Great as a small tote bag!
Love my medium madison. My friend needed a bag and I shared. Now I need a new one. The pockets on the outside are so good!
Really cute bag! I have the Large Madison in Jackson. I mostly use it as a little tote bag for myself because I prefer the Koala for my everyday essentials. I use the Large Madison for a book, kindle, notebook, lotion, and other small things. The large Madison is just so much cuter than a standard smaller tote.
Absolutely love the madison, so cute
Adorable. Love the pockets. Easy to dress up or down. 🫶
