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.

Awesome shoulder strap
by: Heather K.
I like ove my nutmeg braided shoulder strap. Love the width and how it allows a shoulder carry with my butterfly. Only wish it came in more colors! Would love to see it in a lighter tan like dune or a Cape Coral or sugar.
Completely changes the look of EVERY PLG item!
by: Lori T.
This is THE BEST STRAP PLG has ever done. It completely changes the look of my most favorite FSCB--having 1 wider strap that matches the leather vs. 2 thinner straps is a much more comfortable and sleeker shoulder carry, and elevates the FSCB's look. I use it with my Bucket bags to tie together different littles and it completely changes the look, also making it a more comfortable and elevated shoulder carry. I love the Nutmeg with Naples--I use it with my Naples Bucket bag with a Nutmeg Crunchwrap as a wallet/"grab and go" and just switch the strap to make my Crunchwrap a comfy shoulder carry. It's easier to maneuver than a long crossbody strap and is so gorgeous. It also works with the Sydney Sling and Scarlett Sling--I added some 3" brushed brass chain extenders and the Braided Strap works here too. It's a more comfortable and cute Sling strap, especially when the bag is worn on the back or low on the hip. I also use it with every Butterfly, Circle, Toaster, Metro (mini and medium) and Rainstorm--it makes for the perfect shoulder-carry length, and gives smaller bags more presence. When using purse flair, the single color lets the flair stand out without the "busyness" of some patterned after-market straps. I bought the pebbled black and it was so gorgeous on my Lolas and FSCB that I came back to buy one in every color. Would love this in Cosmo, Fog, Champagne, Nimbus, Aqua, Lagoon, Bacalar, Naples, Koi, Baja, Succulent, Beluga, Cape Coral, Amethyst, Flamenco, Cowboy Blue, Cowboy Mint, Dakota, and Pearl, please. I would get them all after seeing how versatile and excellent quality these are. Please make more of these, PLG! And if you're a shopper on the fence about these...just get it. Seriously. It changes every PLG item you own, expanding your PLG collection, even if your collection is just one bag. Love this!
Love it!😍
by: Donna A.
Great addition to a beautiful bag. The length is perfect for over the shoulder. I would like one in all my favorite bag colors.
Coldbrew and poppy
by: Michelle K.
Love the braided strap, such quality, as expected from PLG of course. I got the coldbrew strap for my coldbrew large poppy and it’s perfect 😍
Obsessed
by: Megan R.
This strap took my bag to the next level. I paired it with my Small Naomi and now it's my very favorite! It's so comfortable to wear and it's the perfect length for shoulder carry. 🖤
Cute strap, I like the width
by: Allison D.
This strap is really nice, and a good length. It JUST works as a crossbody on the kangaroo bag if I need it to, but I usually wear it non-crossbody. I took off the strap that came on my kangaroo and added a couple of rings so I could clip on this strap and I’m really happy with it that way. The width of this strap is nice on the shoulder, it stays put well and is comfortable. The color (honey) matches perfectly with my bag. Also just discovered that this leather color doesn’t water spot. I’ve worn this out in heavy rain and the bag got soaked in a few areas and it dried looking totally normal.
Perfection
by: Tiffany W.
This strap is the perfect length to shoulder carry my bag! Plus it is absolutely gorgeous
Nutmeg Braided Strap Been Wanting One for a Long Time!
by: Luci R.
The title says it all, I've been wanting a braided strap for awhile and when a Nutmeg became available I jumped on it and the Nutmeg Circle. I can switch between straps since I modified the Circle crossbody strap to snaps. Now I can carry my Circle as a crossbody or a purse.
