I absolutely love my two purses, and the customer service staff were incredibly nice and helpful. However, as someone who shops online frequently, their return/exchange policies stand out in a bad way... See more

Written by the company
Portland Leather Goods was founded in 2015 when Curtis Matsko began crafting leather goods in his Portland garage with a simple goal: create beautifully simple, high-quality leather bags at a price people could actually afford. What started as a one-man project has grown into a global community of leather lovers, artisans, and repeat customers who believe great design should be accessible. We specialize in simply designed leather bags and accessories, including crossbody bags, tote bags, backpacks, wallets, journals, and everyday carry essentials. Our focus is on clean lines, functional design, and real leather that looks, feels, and smells like leather should. We source our hides from the beef industry, giving materials that would otherwise go to waste a second life. Our leather is tanned in award-winning facilities that prioritize environmentally responsible practices. Because our bags are made from real leather that is not synthetically coated or painted over, natural markings such as spots, grain variation, and occasional scars are part of what makes each piece unique. We own and operate our artisan workshop, The Studio, in León, Mexico, located near two of the most respected tanneries in North America. This close partnership allows us to maintain high standards, reduce environmental impact, and build long-term relationships with the people who make our products. Today, Portland Leather Goods continues to grow through word of mouth and a loyal customer base who appreciate simple design, durable materials, and accessible pricing. Our business is built around people, from our artisans to our customer support team to the community that proudly shares their bags every day.

I bought a mini-crossbody bag
I bought a mini-crossbody bag. I loved it BUT the chemical smell was so bad I count stand being near the bag! I called the company and asked if this was normal, the woman said absolutely not, this smell is rare. So they said to send it back and get would send me another bag. Got the other bag yesterday and horrible smell again, I barely had to open the box, and I could smell the chemical, not leather smell, actual chemical smell.Unfortumately I have to send it back again.
Love my OS Devan
Love my OS Devan, love PLG customer service, and the quality is phenomenal!
Great bag and great communication …
Great bag and great communication from company. Bag was shipped next day.
Poor quality
Poor quality, poor craftsmanship. No replies to emails and no phone number to contact. And in addition, they charged me for shipping both ways, this is not disclosed in their return policy.
How does this happen??
First time ordering from Portland Leather Goods but somehow they already had my credit card information?? BUT, then after I clicked to purchase my purse I got two other charges that THANK GOD did not go through..yet. Exact same time 1 from a Chris matsko in st louis for a dual intrface(spelled like that) and the other with no name from Detroit... wtf??? I don't enjoy dealing with fraud. I'm going to have to watch my card closely now. Not cool.
Not worth it
Got a merlot limited edition tote and a wallet in the mail a little over a week ago. Neither are cute in person. Both are ridiculously overpriced given the limited craftsmanship. The tote in particular came scuffed up on one side.
For clarity, I did not order an "almost perfect" product. But looking at the reviews here, it seems like Portland Leather expects you to settle for flaws even when paying full price. I actually expect a pristine product when I pay for one.
I knew these items were probably going back before I took them out of the box, even with Portland Leather's terrible and costly return policy. I did in fact try to cancel when I realized there were tons of negative reviews out there, just not on Portland Leather's website.
Sketchy company all around. Dropped off my return today.
I ultimately ended up buying a tote and wallet from a different company for around the same price point (I think the two items combined ended up being $30-$40 more). So happy I did.
Save yourself the headache and just spend a little a more money. There are other affordable leather options out there.
I absolutely loves all my purchases…

Love my mini bucket bag
Love my mini bucket bag! Leather is so soft and cold brew color is beautiful.
I really like the color
I really like the color. I purchased the cold brew. This crossbody is a bit large for me, so I removed the strap and use it as a purse. I’ve gotten 3 compliments in the short time I’ve had it. I also love the smell of this genuine leather product. The insert is a must to keeping everything organized.
High quality bag- hit expectations
I love the size and pebbling detail on my bag. We did have one package get lost by the shipping company, but PLG was quick to issue options and send another package quickly.

My new go to purse
This was my first order from PLG and I am hooked! The Meadow Metro is the perfect size and the leather is amazing. I will definitely be ordering more as I see several things that I think would be great to own and all designed for use. I also purchased a bifold wallet for my husband and he is impressed with the quality and loves the size. I see more in his future as well.

This leather and color are absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the style of the bag too. I wish it was just a little larger though. I wish there was a portlant leather in Michigan!!!!
The lily wristlet is so amazing
The lily wristlet is so amazing. I have actually ordered two additional as gifts. I ordered the sunflower for myself absolutely love it then I ordered the mango and cowboy mint as gifts! This Lily wristlet is going to be perfect for vacationing and date nights! It will carry all my necessities. I placed my order and within a week I had delivery.

I have ordered a few thousand dollars of Portland leather Goods over the past few years and have not been disappointed in the affordable quality in these leather products. Be prepared that if you order one and join there Facebook Portland leather Insiders group that it will not be your last🤭
