Our durable leather goods are unlined, featuring the natural suede side of the hide. Since fabric-lined bags inevitably discolor and tear with use, we chose to showcase the soft sueded underside of our hides, ensuring that your bag lasts a lifetime.
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.
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. Other times we notice a small imperfection on a finished product such as a slight color variation or a messy stitch or two. 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.
- Quality is guaranteed even on “Almost Perfect” items. If you're not happy with your deal, send it right back according to our standard return policy.

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.
SMALL: Great for those that travel light on the daily – it can fit a water bottle, snacks, book, wallet, and sunglasses comfortably. Measures 11” wide across the bottom, 13” wide across the top, 4.5” deep and 11.5” tall.
MEDIUM: Can fit a water bottle, snacks, a book, wallet, sunglasses and a 13” Macbook snugly. Measured 11.5” wide across the bottom, 15” wide across the top, 5.5” deep, and 12” tall.
LARGE: Fits a water bottle, snacks, book, wallet, sunglasses, back-up shirt, and a 15” Macbook snugly. Measures 13” wide across the bottom, 18” wide across the top, 6” deep, and 12” tall.
OVERSIZED: Fits all that plus a pair of jeans and a larger laptop comfortably. Measures 14” wide across the bottom, 21” wide across the top, 6” deep, and 13” tall.
The drop length for all of our handles is 10.5” regardless of the size of the tote, and suits most!

Easy to Care For
Rather than wearing out, full grain leather will naturally condition with use, developing a much sought-after patina and unique character over time.
Full Grain Leather
US-sourced full-grain leather reduces beef industry waste while aging gracefully, improving appearance and strength.
Unlined & Open Interior
Unlined, full-grain leather bags showcase natural suede and offer durability, quality, and weather resistance akin to premium boots and saddles.
Just received my Lagoon mini crossbody. The leather has a lot of variations, on one side of the front pocket it is completely smooth. First I didn't like it, but now the more I look at it, I totally fell in love with it. It has a lot of pull-up, and so much character. I would probably only buy Almost Perfect, as these bags are so unique! Lagoon is my favorite leather, so squishy!

Beautiful Dakota!
by: Stephanie C.
I was waiting for a different neutral to order OS zip tote and Dakota is a winner! I love the rustic texture and neutral color. It will be treasured for many years to come!
Great airplane carryon
by: Lyons
This is my everyday work bag and it worked perfectly on a recent flight. It fits under the seat just fine. I did not find any imperfections in my almost perfect honey zippered tote.
OS Lava Zippered Tote
by: Renee K.
Such a stunner! My third tote but my first over-sized and I LOVE how spacious it is! Absolutely gorgeous lava color! Everything I hoped she would be!
Moab Medium
by: Tara D.
I’m in love with this classic purse! I purchased the medium which is a perfect size for everyday use. My almost perfect did have a few scuff marks on the back, which seems different than most people’s reviews saying that they couldn’t see any marks or imperfections on their bags. I love it, but wanted to mention that I do see marks on mine. Not enough to return, and figured more scuffs will happen naturally. My toddler really likes it too!
Beautiful & Great Quality
by: Meghan C.
Gorgeous bag, love the cold brew leather color and feel. I had been afraid to buy without seeing it in person, but it has exceeded my expectations. As other reviewers have commented, the ‘almost perfect’ looks perfect to me.
My travel buddy!
by: Jade L.
I’ve been using the Honey-colored medium tote bag for weeks now, and it has become my go-to bag for everyday use. The quality is outstanding. Perfect size for my daily essentials. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of durable tote.
Superb quality!
by: Jessica W.
From the moment I started opening my box, and a rich leather scent enveloped me, I knew this was going to be high quality. What a gorgeous tote! I purchased the honey/dark brown medium sized tote and it is superb! From the beautiful rich color, the contrasting handles, dedicated craftsmanship, to the quality leather, everything about this tote screams classic and chic. The medium size tote is perfect in size, roomy but still a purse without going into the travel bag size. I also purchased the eclipse style makeup bag in honey and love pairing the two bags together for style and organization. Stop buying flimsy little totes, make this purchase, and you’ll never buy another tote again - well, you’ll likely buy another from Portland Leather but that’s only because you LOVE it so much!
Just the Perfect Bag (nothing almost about it)
by: AJ B.
The 'Almost Perfect Leather Tote Bag" is completely perfect. Got the small size and it still carries my MacBook Pro, IPad and all the miscellaneous items I need to carry around. Both in a professional capacity or on the town with friends, this bag is all I need. And it looks good! But, best of all, it is not heavy. It really doesn't add much weight to my already overburdened load. Light and sturdy, just what I need!
Storm ⛈️
by: makenzie m.
By far the best leather (my own opinion) this is now me 8th bag and I love the grey/blue color
OS Work bag
by: Alexandria J.
I'm a nurse and need to bring everything and more with me for long overnight shifts. This bag holds my stethoscope, trauma sheers, jacket, puffer vest, lunch, water, and all of the littles I need!
Dakota OS Tote FTW
by: Maria G.
This bag was not on my radar, but a woman on a recent flight with me had an OS tote in Dakota and I fell in love. I feel that the OS accommodates a laptop and other typical travel items a little better than a large tote (but maybe I just carry too much stuff!). I love the feel and texture of Dakota, and think that it could work well dressed up or down. Don’t sleep on Dakota – grab it before it retires!
Love this bag!!
by: Corina S.
I love that this tote can fit so much. It looks beautiful and carries everything I need! ❤️
Customer Reviews
Still a bit big ! Im a short person so big purses swallow me … But love it still
Seems like a nice bag and is well made. I am just not a purse gal, so I don’t see myself using this that often. It’s been sitting in the guest room ever since I got it. The style is not right for me, and I don’t particularly like the color. I think I would’ve preferred an all black or all brown without any speckle of color. This is a personal preference and has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
I have a large tote and it holds so much! I can’t load it down with book and knitting for a trip to the coffee shop or use it for a quick overnight trip!
I ordered a tote bag to replace a bag (not PLG) that I as wearing out. I am thrilled! Great quality and holds ALL my stuff!
The pictures don’t do this color justice ~ it is much more rich in person. Cobalt has beautiful pebbles and deep blue shades that remind me of very deep ocean water.
The tote is great- I can fit all my work needs with room to spare. Highly recommend!
