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.
Savings
Almost Perfect items can feature more prominent character marks than our Premium line, and/or small stitching variations, showcasing the aesthetic variety of our natural hides and handmade designs.
Why do you use leather with prominent character marks in the first place?
We only qualify Almost Perfect in terms of cosmetic irregularities that have absolutely no impact on the quality or durability of our products. Rather, we figured that it'd be a shame to waste such beautiful and functional leather, so we decided to sell it at a discounted price.
What type of imperfection will I get with this bag?
Each of our Almost Perfect bags is one of a kind! While we can't say for sure which one you'll receive, some common character marks our customers find are pebbling and color variation, scars and striations, or a stitch out of place. That being said, rest assured that none of these "imperfections" will impact the functionality of the bag in any way!
What if I don't love my Almost Perfect bag?
Everything from our Almost Perfect collection (excluding Mystery Box bundles) falls under our usual return policy. For more detailed information, visit our Returns page.
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.

Bacalar August Tote
by: Linda W.
The August rite is just a great size and all around super tote. There is a pocket inside plus a key ring loop that is very handy. This was an AP purchase, but I sure didn't see anything wrong with it. I've attached an Aster Mockingbird flair.
Mango
by: Stephanie B.
I love this tote! It’s stylish and perfect for any occasion!
Gorgeous
by: Karen M.
I’m not a tote girl. Usually I find them heavy. The August is lightweight and roomy. The Plum color is, as usual, beautiful. Love the straps. The only thing that would make it better is a zipper. And an even bigger size. 🥰☺️💜👜 (pic shows my Orchid lg. Devan too)
Perfection
by: Danielle S.
This is my favorite carry - the best size, forest green is the perfect amount of slouchy and a gorgeous neutral.
Medium Lollipop August
by: EL
Beautiful and smells divine. The smooth leather of Lollipop adds a classic touch to this simple and lightweight tote!
Perfect Tote Bag!
by: Julie
I now have two of these - medium Mango and Plum. They are both amazing. I like the shape and how well they stand up. The handles are so comfortable!
August in Forest 💚
by: Brenda C.
Perfect size bag for work. Such a beautiful rich, dark green. The straps are so soft and comfortable to carry.

new mom bag
by: Taylor G.
I have a large classic tote, and while the large August is slightly smaller, I like it much better. Because of its shape, it stays closed all the time, and you can’t see the contents. It holds so much! Love the coldbrew color.
Forest geeen is rich
by: Joyce
Love the simplicity of August design and forest green is such a sleek chic color that completes the bag
Bought for a gift- but she’s mine!
by: KJ c.
The August tote is what I wanted all along. The large is great for travel or for you working folks as a bag to bring all your needs. She is simple, comfy, absolutely gorgeous. I meant to gift her, but I have to keep her now. Love it.
Pure perfection.
by: Stacy D.
I have tried almost every bag style that PLG offers and I can confidently say that the Mango August is the closest to bag peace that I have come. I have the large and the size, the shape, the feel and the way it opens on my shoulder are exactly what I have been looking for.
New favorite!
by: Lynda Y.
This tote is fabulous. I have the smaller size in Nutmeg and plan to buy a few more. I really like that the top is smaller than the bottom. This is a very comfortable carry.
Favorite tote ever 💕!
by: Wendy
I like a soft handle and the August Tote does not disappoint. I really loved the Market Tote and Montana, but both were a touch small. The August Tote in Midnight Owl is perfection. Great size (my laptop in a sleeve fits) and gorgeous soft leather I a beautiful, muted navy. I am obsessed. The drop is perfect for me (5’7” and XL/1X). I want one more at l ast, maybe Ruby??
