What is 'Almost Perfect'?
It’s the lowest price on all of our best-selling leather goods! Our artisans have very high standards. Sometimes we come across hides with more natural character marks.

Our 'Almost Perfect' bags are never defective or damaged; we know you'll love yours as much as we do.
When this happens, you save big!
- No coupon needed! The maximum discount has already been applied to all items in the 'Almost Perfect' sale collection.

Our Full-Grain Leather
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 and 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. 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.

Terrific size
by: Rebecca
My honey Nora is the perfect shape and size! I can fit my bifold wallet, an eclipse and phone inside. Honey is a nice classic color, but if you’re super fussy about marks, maybe a pebbled leather is a better choice for you. This honey is smooth and thick and holds its structure which is perfect for this style!
Perfect for me
by: Jennifer H.
I love this Nora! Pebbled black is my fav. Fabulous color and perfect slouchiness! I’m thinking about buying a nutmeg Nora next.
A unique PLG purse
by: MSm
The Nora is such a unique and classy piece, I just knew I needed it for my collection. Both Honey and Smooth Black are gorgeous. My AP choices have no significant flaws. I preferred the smooth look in this sleek design, and feared the zipper would be too fussy on the pebbled, even though it takes some getting used to either way. Nice size for evenings out. The simplistic, stamped plg tree logo is perfection here. Very pleased with this "crescent moon"!
This bag is my identity now
by: Abby A.
This was a gift from my mom for my 25th birthday, and I hope I’m still carrying it at 75. It’s the perfect size, shape, color (cinnamon bear) and I know it’s only going to get better with age
Nutmeg Nora
by: Lisa P.
This purse is beautiful and is my first purchase of something in Nutmeg. I am typically more of a fan of the smooth leathers, however the pebbled is growing on me and I think I prefer it in certain styles. All this being said, the Nora is too small for a daily purse, for me. I love everything about it, except wish it was a touch bigger.
Plum and Storm 🎆🌪
by: Leslie (.
I love my Nora(s) so much! I'm not super fashion-savvy, and they elevate my look so effortlessly. My favorite thing about Plummy is that she's half pebbled and half smooth on the back (business in the front, party in the back!), while my favorite thing about Stormie is the beautiful contrasting darker PLG pine trees on the bottom corner. One requirement I have for all my bags is that the handle drop must be long enough that I can swing it onto my shoulder with one hand. Nora qualifies with ease, and is so comfy to wear! She holds more than expected, and I will be back for more as soon as more colors drop (looking at you, Merlot!). ✨🍷👀
Lovely Nora
by: Samantha H.
I just love this bag. I ordered the Nora in AP nutmeg and it’s so soft and pretty. My hide came with less pebbling than I expected but that makes it so much more unique and lovely. I want another already. It’s very roomy and so dang cute.
Such a Beauty
by: ZHE Z.
I was originally looking for the honey, unfortunately it was sold out. So I ordered the cognac instead and it’s just beautiful as well. Very unique design and holds a lot. Of course, very high -quality as always.
My favorite bag!
by: Allison L.
I have Nora in Storm and she’s my absolute favorite bag. Such simple elegance. Easy to carry on shoulder or with hand/arm. Perfect size for me, and great with either a very casual outfit or a dressier one. Would love to get it in another color
The Best Bag!!!
by: Jen P.
I have never been a small bag person. Do I buy them? Yes. Do I use them? No, hardly ever. That all ends with Nora, though. I absolutely love this smashing a little bag. It is so gorgeous and holds far more than you expect it to. I’ve had tons of compliments and cannot wait to get her in a second color.!
You need a Nora!
by: Jemima
As a tote and full size crossbody fanatic, I was hesitant to add Nora to my collection...would she hold all of my essentials and be an everyday carry? I finally made the plunge as I couldn't get her alluring shape out of my head. To my surprise she is perfect! The size and shape is sophisticated and classy and she holds everything I need and more! I love how she tucks easily under my arm and the soft pebbles of Nutmeg are dreamy! You need a Nora in your life!
Lovely small bag
by: Sarah T.
I usually carry larger bags but something about Nora caught my eye. It’s my first piece in nutmeg and I love it! She snugs right in under my arm and doesn’t fall off. I think it will be a great bag to carry shopping because it’s lightweight and doesn’t swing around when you bend over like a crossbody would.
Cute!
by: Michelle
My first ever shoulder bag and I love it! It's so feminine and stylish. The short handle is easy to grab and go, now I am thinking to get another color!
Nora
by: Portia R.
Love the Nora for accessorizing a summer dress! It can be dressed up or down and holds more than it appears. Very classy shape!
Customer Reviews
I was apprehensive when I ordered my first Nora, not sure it would hold everything I carry or that the strap would be long enough. It is perfect and my new favorite. I’ve bought three more!
I really like how this bag feels on my shoulder. I can fit all my essentials in the classic (smaller) size and it also has an inside pocket for my phone. Happy with this purchase!
Got this classic Nora bag in Almond for a spring/summer date night or going out bag. l purchased AP because Almond was only available in it and I can't find any flaws!
I'm typically a BIG purse girl so I wasn't sure this was going to be the bag for me but to my surprise I can fit everything I carry daily into her. She's classy and sassy!!
I'm madly in love with Peppercorn!! She's soft, a beautiful bluish gray, and a big puddle when she's not full.
I will be getting more Noras!! Photo taken indoors with a Storm Tassel for comparison.
I think the best thing about classic Nora is how easy it is to carry. Fits great under the arm and is really cute. I carry a small wallet, Gordita, Kleenex, phone, lipgloss, keys and a few more little things. Storm is also a great neutral. I’ve tried lots of PLG styles and this is one of the best.
