I've purchased my crossbody totes from Portland Leather for myself for Mother's Day the past two years. I LOVE the grizzly color. I also have purchased some of those little 'inserts' from Amazon that help keep things organized. As a Portland native, I love carrying a bit of 'home' with me.

I have the Medium Zippered Crossbody in Dune on its way now! Thanks for the heads up on Dune. I saw you say that a few weeks ago. And I’m the opposite, I like my bags zipped up and secure. But I do like things inside a certain way. I will put one of my 5 guitar straps on it and hopefully be very satisfied. This will make my 5th or 6 th PLG bags. Thanks for your videos and honesty.

I love the medium and full size crossbody bags for everyday. And the medium tote is a perfect size for me too! I love the look of the mini, it’s just not practical for me for more than just the weekend, which is fine. I like to have options! I also fill bigger bags, so I get that.

Thank you for making this video!! I have a zippered medium crossbody in Sedona coming (my first PLG!!), and I mainly got the medium to be able to fit a book and/or water bottle. My youngest is also potty training, so I wanted to be able to fit a diaper & wipes or a couple snacks as well. I will def be getting the mini for when I run solo errands, since it will still fit my Kindle 💚

This was a terrific review! I’m personally team zipper because of too many accidental spills lol. I have to say my favorite style so far is a tie between the Medium and Full-size Crossbody. I use guitar straps on mine. (Fellow chesty gal here hahaha.) I love my soft and slouchy leathers (Nutmeg, Sunflower), but I also adore the suede/nubuck feeling ones (Merlot, Deep Water). I feel like those hold their shape (& contents) much better while still being soft and pleasant to touch. As for the Mini, I want to love it, but it’s just too small for me. 😊 I’m not on Facebook but I have a few PLG bags that I’d love to sell to someone who’d love them.

What a great video. I have several PLG totes and I’ve given a few to my daughter and granddaughter. I really love the Honey leather but I have to be so, so careful when I carry those totes because it scratches quite easily. My absolute favorite is my medium crossbody in Dune. I got the zippered version, just like yours, because I didn’t want the top to be so floppy. I don’t ever zip it, I just fold the leather flaps down inside and that gives the top more support. It’s an amazing bag. I’m like you, I like my belongings in my bag a certain way and my medium zippered crossbody is perfect for me. It’s such an easy bag for me to carry and I don’t have to fuss with it when I’m out and about. I am a petite 5’3” so the medium is too big for me to carry crossbody so I don’t even use the strap. I carry my small crossbody on days when I only need my wallet, sunnies and a couple of other small items. I do have a large bust so sometimes I don’t like the way a crossbody strap accentuates that! Lol I discovered your channel just now by accident…will subscribe😊
