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.

Satsuma backpack 🧡
by: Rebecca
Beautiful color, smell is amazing! Be aware this particular satsuma is smoother than previous pebbled versions. Very happy with the size and how it fits as well. I’m 5’3” size 4 for reference.
Stunning 🤩
by: Jesslyn M.
Absolutely LOVE my backpack tote in Tulip! It was so hard to choose but this color truly pops and the quality of the bag is exceptional! So smooth yet durable, and the inner pocket has plenty of room for wallet, keys, book, and some extras. Would highly recommend and will be getting more!
First purchase & Im hooked!
by: Customer
My sister has many PLG products, and I have contemplated buying one and I finally caved and bought a nutmeg classic backpack. I will admit that when I first saw it, it was a little more red than I anticipated but I put some leather protectant on it, and I am IN LOVE! I also purchased a wallet off of treet. Anywho! I took it with me to have surgery and used it to hold my iPad, a little power bank and such, my husband held it while I was being prepped and ALL of the nurses complimented it (and him) and we totally fan girled over how we all love the backpack and the products. It was my first PLG purchase, so to hear such good feedback from random strangers, was such a reassurance! Here’s a picture, it’s not a very good one, but still cute! I was in Portland with my Portland Leather Good! Here’s another photo I took.
Beautiful Backpack in Lava
by: Shawna C.
I thought I might be too old to wear a backpack but that is definitely not the case with this one! It’s stylish, roomy, and smells amazing! It’s a fabulous addition to my outfits and I get so many compliments when I wear it.
AMAZING
by: Crystal P.
I got the classic tote backpack in nimbus and it is gorgeous. The backpack fits perfectly on my plus size frame and is big enough to hold everything I need it to.
Traveling Bag
by: Kathy N.
This bag is fabulous! The perfect traveling bag is comfortable and holds every needed accessory.It is perfect-ideal for any day trip or trip abroad
Tote backpack is roomier than you think!
by: Angel R.
This bag holds a lot more than you'd expect and is comfortable to wear! I'm 5'6" and a size 12. The tote backpack is deeper at the bottom than the laptop backpack and is a great running around bag.
Hello Gorgeous!
by: Jade A.
The most beautiful backpack I have ever owned. Foxglove is the type of pink I love: not bright or discordant but neutral and rich, leaning slightly towards purple. The leather feels velvety soft. I did treat it thoroughly with Apple Garde spray before use to keep this more delicate brushed leather protected from stains or rough wear. I have a Sidekick in Succulent (same leather but green) that I didn’t treat and the corners are already a little worn just from carrying it in a tote for a couple weeks. The backpack straps could be a little shorter for me (5’2” 170lbs) but I’m sure they are this long with sizing holes all the way to the end to be inclusive for bodies of all sizes, which I do appreciate.
Love!

Absolutely love my new backpack in Aqua!
In love!
by: M S.
I bought the tote backpack because we have a few upcoming trips and carrying a purse for long durations hurts my my neck shoulder. I am OBSESSED! I carried it everywhere and even loaded it up with stuff and I couldn’t feel a thing. I love this backpack!! My companion on all future adventures. Not to forget the quality is awesome and the leather smells divine!
Love leather
by: Kristy B.
This bag is so nice and having been using it since I got it. I just love the convenience of a backpack purse. It came in handy on vacation while shopping and the color is great! This is my second handbag I purchased and love the quality! This is the small.
Small tote backpack
by: Emily J.
I use the classic tote backpack as my everyday bag. I ordered the mini for times when I don't need as much but want to be hands free. Picture is my plum classic compared to my orchid small. 1. I love that the straps of the small are continuous/self-contained instead of having the ends curl up like the classic can be prone to do. 2. I wish the straps on the small were *slightly* wider. Not quite as wide as the classic, since that would be out of proportion. I haven't worn it all day yet but so far the thinner straps are still comfortable. 3. I didn't realize that the small does not have an internal pocket. My fault for missing it in the description. Not a huge deal, but I would be bothered by it if it was for everyday use. 4. I LOVE the orchid leather. It's soft and pebbled, beautiful color that will give a nice pop but also go with a lot of different outfits. Feels very similar to my coldbrew bags. Overall, I love it.
Nutmeg Tote Backpack
by: Annie S.
Isn’t she beautiful? She is cooler than I am , more artisanal, more earthy, more hip. She elevates my style and my image.
Beautiful Backpack!
by: Jessica W.
I received my Nimbus Classic Tote Backpack a couple weeks ago. First, the color is beautiful with the gold hardware. Second it is so so soft while still maintaining the structure. Third, the straps are surprisingly comfortable. And last, the size is wonderful, it carried everything I need (and some) I can not recommend this bag enough!!

Love this embossed floral backpack! The quality is 10/10
Hollyhock is so fun! We found a hollyhock tote backpack in store and my daughter loves it! She’s used it a couple times already
Picked up the limited edition Cornflower tote backpack, haven't used it yet but I think it will be perfect for traveling!
Great size, handy, and a gorgeous cream debossed leather. Instant love. Picture taken as sun setting so not true to the color.
The tote backpack is my go to bag!! I love how much it holds and this special blue print is amazing! I need all the colors of this backpack!!
