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.

The Portland Leather Difference

Super cute and very spacious
by: Nzingha O.
Super cute and very spacious. I wasn’t a fan initially but I decided to give it a try and I am glad I did it is pretty awesome!
Purse Peace!
by: Alice M.
I never liked purses with flaps, but I just had to try this one because the small is so cute and sheek. It’s the perfect size for me since I also love the small bucket bag and the small koala.
Stone is the perfect classy neutral
by: Noelle S.
I purchased the large Monaco in Stone. I tend towards more vibrant colors but needed a neutral and this is perfect! Great size for those who don’t carry a lot, and the magnet closure seemed strong. I made a little tassel for the front to give it a little more personality 💛
Large Monaco Purse
by: Melissa N.
I’m very happy with the new Large Monaco purse! First off, look at her!! She’s beautiful!! It holds a lot more than you’d think. I have 3 of these now, and I’m sure I’ll buy more. I’m just waiting on new colors.
perfect everyday carry!
by: Sarah K.
I’ve wanted a saddle bag for a bit… when the Monaco was released I knew it was for me! I wanted an everyday bag and this beautifully fit the bill. It easily fits a large pinch pouch, my snap wallet, keys, sunglasses, phone, with extra room to slip in my kindle on longer days. I love the magnetic closure.
This is a beautiful bag!
by: Shawna D.
This is a beautiful bag that can hold more than it seems! Wonderful for a special night out. I love the structured leather and larkspur color.
Love the Monaco! I just need it in a couple more colors now!
by: Cindy T.
Love the Monaco! I ordered it in stone and didn't know if I'd like the color in person. But I'm thrilled to report it's the perfect neutral! The magnetic closure is great, there are two. The inside pocket is a nice size. This purse size is perfect for a day on the go. This bag won't bog you down and the adjustable strap hits just right!
This is a great bag
by: Susan D.
This is a great bag. I don’t worry about contents fall out. I ordered the large size and it holds everything I carry plus it smells really good
Small black Monaco
by: Jessica O.
I have a couple other PLG bags, but I didn’t have a black one. I looked a lot before choosing a black Monaco. I LOVE it. I also added a Javelin crossbody strap and Mockingbird pouch. I don’t carry a lot of things with me usually, so the small size is perfect for me. I absolutely love it.
Love the Larkspur I got. Holds more than you'd think
by: Natassia B.
I am thankful mine didn't have something wrong with the flap being too long or their being a weird dimple on the front. Mine seems perfect so far. Packed it with my normal essentials, and it fits a lot more than I thought it would. Larkspur is a lovely color. I'd have to say for the most part it looks like a plum version of Merlot. But in the shade it looks more purple.
Love Love Love the Monaco
by: Brenda A.
I can’t believe how cute these bags are!! Hold way more than i imagined and I hope they come out in my colors!!!
More than expected
by: Wendy K.
When this little bag came out I was instantly in love. I thought I wanted the large, but glad I went with a small. I kept looking at the large and going back to the thought I wish they had made the flap longer to mimic the small. Ultimately, I bought the small. It fits everything I need and it is the perfect crossbody. It can be worn as a casual bag or a little more, especially depending on the color.
Monaco 💜 Larkspur 💜 Love
by: Karen K.
The style of the bag is just awesome. I like the large size and yet it doesn't look large when carried. Holds the things I need leaving nothing behind. Larkspur is a win!!! I just love the waxed leathers.
Monaco
by: Melisenda A.
Didn’t think I would love this bag but it ended up being perfect in every way. I got the small in smooth black and replaced the cross body strap with a chain strap and I feel like it elevates the bag to another level Anyway get this bag if you are on the fence
Sienna Large Monaco
by: Elizabeth H.
I love my new bag. It fits the same items as my Large Sloan. I like the way it lays on my hip. I will be investing in another color.
Customer Reviews
This is a classic bag to dress up or down. The color is incredible
Moose is the best around. Love this bag in both sizes.
I wasn't sure about the silhouette of the bag because it's not my usual style, but this has become my everyday carry. The color is beautiful and I love how soft the leather is.
The evergreen color is scrumptious! The small Monaco is perfect for daily use and will go with all my fall outfits! 😍
Stunning! Moose is so underestimated!
