Our durable leather goods are unlined, featuring the natural suede side of the hide. Because leather is a natural material, slight color and batch variations are normal. Factors like hide age, season, and dye absorption can all affect the final shade, making each piece uniquely yours.
Our leather is incredibly easy to care for. With time and use, the natural oils in the leather will rise to the surface, developing a beautiful patina and smoothing any scuffs or scratches that may have accumulated. Learn more about caring for your new leather product.
Full Grain: Meticulously sourced from the finest hides, this premium material boasts unique textures and character, showcasing nature's artistry at its best. As time passes, watch as its surface develops a unique patina, telling your personal journey through the years. Unlike processed leathers, full grain leather stands the test of time, due to its unmatched strength and resilience. Its dense fibers offer exceptional resistance to wear, cuts, and moisture, our full grain leather ensures lasting beauty that only gets better with age.
Pebbled: Unlike most brands that use artificial stamping methods to create patterns, our pebbled leather is achieved through a natural tumbling process. The distinctive raised, pebble-shaped texture adds sophistication and makes a bold statement wherever you go. But it's not just about looks—pebbled leather is built to last. Worried about daily wear and tear? Don’t be! The unique pebbled surface ages gracefully, developing a natural patina that will evolve for years to come!
Suede: Our suede leather begins with an intricate process: the hide is split to separate the soft underside from the top layer. This top layer is then tanned, buffed, sanded, and dyed to create the signature velvety texture that defines high-quality suede. Naturally slouchy and pliable, suede leather ages gracefully, developing a rich patina that tells its own story over time. Most natural imperfections are gently smoothed away during production, while subtle traces—like healed veining and the soft, napped surface—are preserved to celebrate the leather’s unique character and charm.

Love love love

I love small size of Koala bag, it is just right size for everyday bag for me. I want it in every colors :D
Perfect!
by: Deverie S.
Smells lovely, super sturdy and, more importantly, holds my large Hobo wallet.
Love Koala's Uniqueness!
by: Caitlin A.
I'm loving my large Bacalar Koala so far! I have a large in Bacalar (omg) and a medium in Bone. I thought the large would feel bulky on my petite frame and it's just right, surprisingly. It's a fun, unique and interesting slight crescent shape and I really like the magnet enclosures as they're easy to maneuver single handedly. This isn't a bag for more than the essentials, as I noticed stuffing it too much makes it look wonky, but for anything bigger my go to is the Lola, a stark contrast shape wise. I like having options. It's a great minimalist option that can be worn multiple ways. Bacalar is just sooo luscious!
My favorite bag!!
by: Gabrielle T.
Had to have this bag in butter bliss, absolutely love the koala sling bag! The small has a nice long adjustable crossbody strap and is so cute!
Love my koala in meadow!
by: Laura L.
I’ve had the meadow wallet for a while and decided to get a matching bag. The koala is the perfect size for days when you don’t need to carry a lot.

Koala chili red bag
by: Hannah M.
The perfect bag! I got the large and it fits everything I need and is a cute staple for outfits
Cute koala
by: Bethany C.
I got a small Coldbrew koala and it’s adorable!! Just the right size for the essentials and I love the way it hugs & sits on my body. I can kinda use it as an arm rest. Love this bag and this color! The magnetic “thock” closing sound is *chefs kiss*
Banana bag 🍌
by: Hayley M.
I got a medium Koala in Naples specifically because it looks like a banana. Makes me so happy! It fits my phone, Luna bag, small seashell bag, a couple of diapers, and other random stuff. I was worried the magnets wouldn't hold, but I have flipped it upside down several times and nothing has dumped out. Love this bag for the summer!
So light, perfect for walking around
by: Rebecca G.
I’m usually very delicate when it comes to bags and often feel achy when carrying one around for the majority of a day. I did not feel that with this bag love the color and everything about it. I got the small and feel it’s perfect for my frame.
So happy
by: Amanda M.
The large koala in pebbled black is such a fantastic carry. Such a sleek, classy crossbody Very comfortable to carry
Why did I wait?
by: Tanja
Why did I wait so long to take the plunge? I LOVE this bag! It’s beautiful and the perfect size for me. I may have another color already on the way!
Honey Large Koala!
by: Stacey Y.
I had been eyeing this bag for a while and finally caved! My first PLG bag and I love her! Beautiful leather with a fun and functional design…..highly recommend! Oh….and received the matching wallet as a promo…win win!
Beautiful, small Koala is the perfect size!
by: Susan P.
First time PLG customer, won't be the last! I wasn't sure if I would like this purse and accessories because I've used an organizer purse (wallet/purse combo) for so long (at least 20 years) but I really do! The leather is beautiful and I love the color! The pictures I've included don't do it justice. It's a vibrant mid to dark blue with maybe a hint of purple. I prefer pebbled leather because it hides scratches better and this one is really nice. It's soft but not too slouchy which is good because I prefer a little more structure. I liked the natural interior too. The shape is so cute! The size is perfect as I prefer a smaller purse and a crossbody is a must for me. This size of the Koala comes with the longer adjustable strap which is perfect because it allows me to wear it crossbody just below my hip which is where I like to wear my purses. I'm 5'4 and I don't have it adjusted out to its full length. I can see why customers of the medium and large might be disappointed with the shorter strap. I would be too. Since I've used an organizer purse for so long I knew I would need to get a small wallet and something to hold all the small items that I like to carry. The interior pocket of this purse accommodates my 6.4" phone (I don't think you could do much larger in the pocket, but you could in the purse) and the main part of the purse easily accommodates the PLG small zip wallet and the seesaw slider pouch (which is the perfect shape for this style purse), keys and a pen with a little room to spare if you needed it. I wasn't sure if I'd like the magnetic closure as I'm used to zipper but I do. It snaps closed securely and nothing falls out when hung upside down. It stays open when I need to access something inside. I'm very, very happy with my purchase and highly recommend!
Perfect bag
by: Customer
This bag is perfect bag. You can dress it up or down. And the leather bag is buttery soft. I highly recommend this bag to anyone.
Large, Pebbled Black Koala Sling
by: Melissa C.
I'm usually a tote girl. I have a two year old and work at a school, so I carry a lot with me. But I downsized to the koala because I wanted something that looked different and was cute. I love the koala sling so far, if they were to make an oversized version, I'd definitely scoop it up! I also have a small canvas organizer from PLG to organize my things. I usually use pouches, but I love the organizer. Another thing I love are the D-rings for the strap so that I can hang charms on the outside my bag as well as clip my keys and school badge on the inside for easy access. Don't hesitate to get the Koala Sling!
Customer Reviews
This is a great smaller bag, perfect for carrying to going out when you don’t need to bring the kitchen sink along with you. The foxglove leather is gorgeous!
