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.

Squishy Pebbled Perfection
by: Maggie R.
I LOVE this bag! It fits everything I need, and is absolutely gorgeous - I love the magnetic closures inside the bag that help it keep its shape!
Better Than I Ever Imagined!
by: Sharon N.
I have been looking for a way to store all my journaling supplies in one place. When I saw the Large Belle, I thought…just maybe!! Well, I finally bought a Shadow Lime large Belle and it is PERFECT for my journaling “house purse”. My Hobonichi Cousin with cover on cover fits perfectly, as do a few other notebooks, my fountain pens, my Wasabi Widemouth pouch full of Tombows, a few sticker and washi boxes, and more. I think it’s full and then I stuff something more into it. And that carrying handle is everything! It’s so perfect I need about 3 more for some of my other hobbies!
Belle Surprised Us All!
by: Donna M.
This was NOT a bag I thought I'd like. Turns out I was right, cuz I LOVE her. The leather is amazing, the pullups on color of Westward Blue are delicious. I'm normally a crossbody gal, but the grab handle on this one is swaying me. There's no inner pocket, but the flat base makes storing littles easy peasy! ♥️
🫒🫶🏻Pebbled Olive Belle
by: Jacquie B.
I purchased the large Belle bucket in pebbled olive and she’s an amazing color with great pebbles and leather character. First time trying this bag and I love the thick grab handle and the amount of space it has!
Obsessed 🤩 🍋🟩
by: Kristin S.
Want something new that’s lovely, out of the ordinary, and also quite functional? C’est Belle! This bag really surprised me. It’s especially fun and easy to shoulder or crossbody carry with a wide strap added! Can’t recommend her enough. This gorgeous shade of green is called Shadow Lime 🍋🟩 and I’m obsessed. Had to grab a matching Fortune Cookie for her, to keep my lipstick & antibac handy. Love!! This one’s a Large; I’m definitely getting another in either 🌶️ Chili Red or Evergreen 🌲, might try the Small for something different, but love the Large.
The best bag!!
by: Amy G.
Absolutely obsessed with the belle bucket bag! I got the smaller one and it fits soooo much! I added my own bag chain to give it the perfect pop! So many compliments and so many asking where I got it!
Belle of the Ball
by: Kathy S.
I’m just loving my new large belle! The leather is super soft and squishy and the large pebbles make it unique! I’ve been getting compliments every time I wear it!
The Belle Bucket in Sunshine is beautiful 😍
by: Janell V.
The Belle Bucket in Sunshine is beautiful 😍 I got it in a small size and plan on getting more in small and large! It's very soft and slouchy! Love it!
Belle for the win!
by: Janet G.
This is my second Belle. My first was the small Pinkaboo. I ordered the large in Evergreen and I love her. Belle is everything I like in a bag. Hoping PLG adds more colors.
Sunshine Belle is a dream
by: Mattie D.
I love the happy color and how floppy and soft she is. I got two coordinating Picasso tassels--one more spring/summer and one more fall so I can use her all the time.
Small Shadow Lime Belle
by: Lori
Absolutely love everything about this purse! It’s the perfect size, I’m 5’3” tall. ! I carry a bulky wallet, phone, key fob, sunglasses, snack and other small items. I received compliments all the time!
Star of the day!
by: Kathy G.
The Bell Bucket bag is the best! If you stand things up you can fit a lot. Eyeglass case, small Leather Journal, Pen, Cell phone, Small Zip wallet & small cosmetic bag. Beautiful leather. Highly recommend!
Just so cute!
by: Monica G.
Love the size and shape of the small Belle! She is so cute to carry with or without the cross body strap! I usually carry a small koala and this fit everything easily.Purchased in honey and now thinking about one in sunshine!
Beloved Belle
by: Abigail G.
My large Evergreen Belle is the best. I love the short handle for grabbing on the go and the the long strap for crossbody comfort
The perfect bucket bag!
by: J. S.
I usually only get zippered crossbody bags, but I absolutely fell in love with this bag in the store and couldn’t put it down! The handle is Amazing, and the color is perfect!!
Customer Reviews
I'm obsessed with PLG. I think the belle bucket is perfect, you can manipulate it to be also a shoulder. I got mine in pinkaboo in the size large, It holds a lot; gonna bought all the colors but in the small size it holds a better astetic.
I got a small belle in chili red and she is amazing! I wanted to like the butterfly but she was too big and i wanted a hand strap as I prefer a handbag/crossbody style. This is everything i asked for. it would be nice to have the butterfly pockets, but otherwise she is perfect! I feel like little red riding hood with this bag, and it is fairytale perfection.
Picked up a chonky pebbled red chili small Belle and instantly fell in love! I was on the fence with this style but it is very cute as an arm carry for date night! It fits a small purse organizer (tightly) and carries all of the essentials. I just love the chili red! Such a wonderful neutral! Loved the style so much I bought another one!
This bag is absolutely gorgeous!!! I get tons of compliments on it and can fit so much stuff inside. I love the multiple bag closures which are cute and provide safety too. The color is stunning for Fall and Winter
I wasn’t drawn to the Belle bucket even though I love buckets because she just looks so … *round*. But I couldn’t resist the Skyway color, the small Belle was all that was available to me, sooo…..
And now I love her. The bag is easy to use, deceptively roomy, and fun to carry, especially by the grab handle. I love setting her down on a table and seeing the fun color and shape. I don’t know that I’ll be collecting a bunch of Belle buckets, but I’m glad I have this one.
