So glad you the vid was what you were looking for! There were almost no videos at all when I first ordered mine, so I'm just glad to see more people getting the bag now. :)

Thanks so much for sharing. I was torn between what size I should order but girl you had that bag PACKED! the large will work just fine for me. Also, thanks for sharing all details of the items of what was in your bag. I have some ordering to do 😂

Woot, woot! Always lovely to find new friends with lots in common on here! It's always amazing to me how massive the internet is and yet how people with incredibly niche interests can still manage to bump into one another. 👍❤

Am I the only one to carry a smaller bag inside a bigger one? LOL I just like having the option not to lug my huge tote around when I'm running a quick errand, I guess. :)

@@ShesShoOpinionated I was not expecting it either. LOL I had to rewind just to watch you whip it out again. LOL I do carry a smaller bag so I don't have to carry in a larger one, but my smaller one is about a clutch size. :) Thanks for the video! I got my first PLG bag for Christmas and have already bought 3 more. Nice to see that they do hold up well over time!

I love how your bag has worn over time! I really want one too... but I honestly have too many tote bags already. Tfs :)

But one can *never* have too many tote bags! :) If you do decide to pick one up, I can honestly say that these are hella hard-wearing and just excellent bags overall.

Heart eyes for your review and PLG in deep water with tan handles! It would be nice if they brought that option back. Missed out the first go around. Pouches are the way to go to keep organized! Subscribed 😊

I would absolutely love it if they brought back the deep water leather - it's such a beautiful color, and it's held up so very well! Thank you for subscribing!!

would love to see an unboxing of your purchase on the way! did you ever notice any color transfer in the beginning of wearing your bag? thank you!
@ShesShoOpinionated4 жыл бұрын
It's been a pretty long time, but I'm pretty sure I didn't end up with any color transfer - at least I don't remember swearing after finding blue dye on my sweaters. :) That said, I think most everyone recommends trying to wear darker colors for the first couple weeks of having the bag.

Hello! It's a fantastic cover made by an Etsy shop called DianoD: www.etsy.com/shop/DianoD . I don't know if the exact same model is still available, but there are a number of other designs in the store still. Hopefully one of them will catch your eye. :)

OHMYGOSH how on earth do you carry that? It looks so heavy with all that you are carrying in it! I'm struggling with my gorgeous medium zip Canyon PLG tote -- with all my stuff it's a little over 5 lbs and it feels too heavy to carry around...I LOVE PLG bags and am probably going to order a small tote in a lighter weight leather. Thanks for your review. Yes, the bags are beautifully made and the leather is amazing!
@ShesShoOpinionated3 жыл бұрын
It's definitely not light with what I put in it, but I think that's what makes PLG totes so great - the fact that I'm never really worried that the weight will do too much damage to the bag itself. Plus it stays pretty comfy around the straps, which isn't the case with a lot of other totes I've carried over the years. I hope you end up loving your small tote when you decide to pick one up!!

Hello! I love your review. I’m just curious if you put any leather conditioner and if yes, which leather conditioner and did the color changed? Thank you!
@ShesShoOpinionated3 жыл бұрын
Hello - thank you so much for watching!! While I treat a lot of my bags, I've never had to treat one of my Portland Leather ones. They come "treated" to a degree, and the website suggests to condition it only if the leather starts to dry, which I'm happy to report hasn't really ever happened. Here's the page where they talk a little bit about conditioning: www.portlandleathergoods.com/pages/leather-care I hope this helps!! :)
