Almost Perfect items can feature more prominent character marks than our Premium line, and/or small stitching variations, showcasing the aesthetic variety of our natural hides and handmade designs.
Why do you use leather with prominent character marks in the first place?
We only qualify Almost Perfect in terms of cosmetic irregularities that have absolutely no impact on the quality or durability of our products. Rather, we figured that it'd be a shame to waste such beautiful and functional leather, so we decided to sell it at a discounted price.
What type of imperfection will I get with this bag?
Each of our Almost Perfect bags is one of a kind! While we can't say for sure which one you'll receive, some common character marks our customers find are pebbling and color variation, scars and striations, or a stitch out of place. That being said, rest assured that none of these "imperfections" will impact the functionality of the bag in any way!
What if I don't love my Almost Perfect bag?
Everything from our Almost Perfect collection (excluding Mystery Box bundles) falls under our usual return policy. For more detailed information, visit our Returns page.
Please note that our pebbled leather, like all of our leather, is a natural product. You may notice changes in grain or texture throughout your bag. Other companies artificially press a pebble texture into their leather. However, the pebbling of our leather is achieved naturally through an extra tumbling process which leaves some areas of the hide smoother than others.

The best adventure bag!! I don’t know why I waited so long to purchase one
by: Kristen I.
The best adventure bag!! I don’t know why I waited so long to purchase one. I use it for nature walks, walking my dog, and just bopping around town. Holds all the essential! Perfection!!
Versatile & Roomy
by: D. B.
I love the various wearability options of the large koala. It's spacious without being too large. It is a good alternative to Nora because of the adjustable strap and wider opening. I do think an additional center closure / magnet would be helpful as well as a stitch across the closure flap where it folds over to keep the bag from sagging when it is closed.
Get all 3 sizes!
by: Jojo
I love all 3 sizes of the koala bag and each size suits my purpose and intent.
LOVE IT! (Koala in Meadow)
by: Madyson W.
I absolutely love this bag - it holds everything i really need in my day to day and it is so cute! I got the small one and may even eventually upgrade to a medium! Can't even tell why it was in the almost perfect section.
You need this bag in your life.
by: GK
The Butter Bliss Koala is so pretty!! It's pretty squishy, but not as puddly as some pebbled colors. It's a light yellow, like the early morning sunshine. So gorgeous!! The medium Koala is a great size though! It holds comparably the same as the classic Nora for me, but it's a great option if you need to be hands-free. And the magnetic closure is more secure than I'd imagined.
It was my 1st PLG buy and certainly not the last!
by: Den P.
It was my 1st PLG buy and I loved it so much I already have a total of 3 bags plus I just ordered another tote from treet a few minutes ago and it’s just April! 4 purses in a month 😬 The leather smells and feels amazing!
New Go To
by: April
Love this little sling bag, perfect. We’re on the go and carries all of my essentials. I tend to alternate between this and the Large Circle, Crossbody for when I need more space.

Great Hands Free
by: Laurie C.
I love the Koala! I have a small, but this medium is perfect! Fits all I need and keeps me hands free. I love the adjustable strap to make it sit exactly how I need.
Sea Glass medium koala
by: Arika I.
I got my medium Koala in Sea Glass! 💚 I love the size! it’s plenty big for all my daily essentials. Sea Glass is one of the most underrated colors in my opinion. I love the green-blue tone!
She's HUGE!
by: Timothy M.
I love this bag as a small and large just means I don't need to stop back at the house for a day of running around!!
Hands Free Heaven!
by: Madison C.
I have the large Koala in Sienna. I really love the color and the flexibility of the leather. Having the inside pockets is great for keeping my wallet easily accessible. The magnet closure is really nice because they are strong enough that your stuff stays inside, but also quick to open when you are grabbing your items. I wore mine on vacation in Florida after I received it, and it held my wallet, phone, sunglasses, and my fujifilm camera no problem (while also still having a bit of slouch.) Overall, very happy with this purchase!! It also goes perfect with basically every outfit!
Beautiful sling bag!
by: Jayme N.
I bought this small Koala sling bag to carry the essentials for quick errands and it is the perfect little bag! Meadow is such a gorgeous print and because it is a stiffer leather, it gives the bag great structure. I also love the longer strap on the small koala that allows me to wear it crossbody as well! I will absolutely be getting more small koalas in the future and would purchase the medium/large ones as well if the straps were just a bit longer on those!
The perfect hip hugger!
by: Miss J.
The large koala is my favorite style!
Sienna Koala
by: Thao P.
It is fall, time for mums and pumpkins, and I cannot stop myself buying my second small Koala in Sienna 😌😂
My new favorite 😍
by: MYLE D.
Lovee the shape and it holds everything I need. Love it so much I bought a second one. I have several PLG bags but this Koala takes the cake!!

The koala sling surprised me. It’s a great bag for quick errands and trips. The small fit more than expected.
A
The bag is made very well; however the big bag is to small for me.
