Portland Leather Goods Unboxing

[@kessiabrown]

Just stumbled across your channel. I'm from MS. You sound like me 😁 I think we are addicted to that leather smell. I don't think the experience would be the same for me if they didn't smell that way. I only have one PLG bag, the Juliette tote, and I want more!

These are such beautiful shades of brown. I love the butterfly bag with the web strap. I like the tree logo too. Thanks for sharing the comparisons and first impressions. Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

Hello Ashley! Another great bag video. The older bag is getting a nice patina. That is also my favorite color of all the bags shown today. It is a pleasure watching your videos as you are so kind and honest. Hope all is well with you and the family.

@@Wawalsh1234 hey Bill! Thanks so much, hope you and yours are doing well too. We no longer want to die anymore after saying goodbye to Gracie Belle, so that’s good. Hope you have a good weekend!

@@ashleyssoutherncharm dogs bring such joy into our lives but in the end, sadness that hopefully only stays with us a short while. Our dog is 9 and nearing the end of her journey which makes me very sad if I think about it.

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@Wawalsh1234 we love them so much! We got her at 6 wks and she was 6 wks shy of her 14th bday. We truly don’t deserve them. We knew it was time to let her go after she was diagnosed with nasal cancer and had a really bad day. We had to drug her into oblivion and I knew it was time. We couldn’t let her suffer for our own selfish reasons. When your turn comes, know you’re not alone in how you feel. 🩷

I love what you got! I got a butterfly and ordered a black grab handle on Amazon and it’s a pretty short handle shoulder bag or I just carry it on my forearm. I love it!

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@mandys6323 I think black needs to be next for me Mandy. I’m not really a black girl, def more of a brown girl. But I do have my black PLG combat boots that I wear a lot with black skinnies in the fall/winter.

[@Bluenaomi]

I love all ur brown choices! That butterfly I had tried it before and returned but I think I need to try again. I already have a strap I can use for it 😃TFS!

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@Bluenaomi hey Naomi! Thank you so much. The mini cb tote will always be my fav but I’m trying to branch out some. Maybe I’ll try the triangle next. ☺️

[@pjeames3334]

Great choices. I would love to see a more detailed video of that wallet, what is the style name. That has great layout and is quite slim, perfect.

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@pjeames3334 thank you so much!!! I’d be happy to! It’s called the mini bifold and I have the full sized one too. I could do a comparison video and maybe that would be helpful.

[@Nichole_Rose]

So glad you posted! Love portland leather as well. I might have to try the Roswell pouch also, it's so cute!

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@Nichole_Rose thank you so much! It’s soooo cute and the small is even cuter but the large is more suited for me.

[@valeriehallmark6467]

They are all so beautiful! I’m really loving that Chestnut color😊

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@valeriehallmark6467 thank you so much Valerie! I’m really happy with my order.

[@thesoftdiveofoblivion]

English tan and Durango are both colors I’ve been curious about, but they don’t offer them in styles that I want. 😩 I really wish PLG would add more neutral browns to the site.

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@thesoftdiveofoblivion agreed! I felt the same way ab the two colors with little info and wishing PLG would give us more browns!

[@kessiabrown]

Oh gosh I feel you with the perimenopause. I've been in a constant PMS-like state for weeks...not good sleep...achy....forgetfulness😢

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@kessiabrown hey Kes! I’m in MS too, Hattiesburg. Where are you? Yes, I love me some PLG!!!! I found PLG back in 2021 I think. And yes girl, the perimenopause is real! I’m 42 and have been in it since 35. Hit flashes, change in hair and skin texture, waking up with sever dry eye, brain fog coupled with anxiety which I’ve never suffered from. It’s horrible!

[@kessiabrown]

I had to ask because you have my same kind of drawl 😂 I'm from Bogue Chitto and USM is my alma mater (go gold!). I love Hattiesburg. Yall have everything there! I live in Iowa now. I'm 50 and started with all these symptoms last year. HRT helps some but not totally. Glad I found you!

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@kessiabrown oh my gosh, I grew up in Dixie Springs, one mile from the county line!!!! How ironic is that?! How’d you end up in Iowa?

[@kessiabrown]

@@ashleyssoutherncharm I met my husband online and knew I wanted to see what it'd be like living somewhere else. Did you ever go camping at Percy Quinn? We could've crossed paths and didn't even know it....at a fish place or Edgewood mall or something!

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@kessiabrown I didn’t live far from PQ after getting married as my husband is from the southern part of Pike Co but my parents did camp there some. My husband is a game warden and was assigned to Pike Co for several years so we spent a good bit of time there riding the golf carts around in spring and fall. 🤣 And yes, I’ve been eating at Mr. Whiskers for as long as I can remember. I bet we have laid eyes on each other. Isn’t that wild?! How do you like living in IA? The weather is bound to be better there.

Those brown leathers are Beautiful ❤

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@user-hi1ff8yw4e thank you so much! I def agree, I’m a brown girl all the way!!!!🤎

Get more leather gloves

[@daphnemason3045]

How does the handles feel in hand /arm? In the tote?

[@ashleyssoutherncharm]

@@daphnemason3045 so on the mini cbody tote, the handles are too short to wear as a satchel but in hand very comfy! I wear mine cbody or carry in hand. But the medium cbody tote will fit as a satchel. To me, flat handles aren’t as comfy on the forearm as rolled handles. But that’s just me.

[@daphnemason3045]

@@ashleyssoutherncharmhaving room for arm in the handles is not as important if caring as crossbody. At times can’t carry much weight on old lady shoulder. Thank you for sharing.
