I'm eyeing the Portland Leather circle bag but not sure of sizing. I want to carry a card holder, keys, lip balm, mask, sunglasses in a soft thin pouch, and my phone. Does anyone know if those will all fit in the smaller size?

Well, yes - checking the sizes, this is what they have for Small: 7" diameter x 3" depth - another two inches in diameter gets you the large. How big is your card holder? How big is the soft thin pouch your sunglasses fit in? How long is your phone?

I've attached a photo of the Large Circle bag in Cranberry for reference and a photo of the small and large together - as of this writing, with the 25$ off sale, the large is $128. I love the outside slip pocket!

My tote arrived this afternoon, hope to get photos here tomorrow!

lol, thanks :smile: I saw the dimensions and the pictures on their site, but I am very bad at using those to visualize how big something will seem in real-life :hrmm: I even got out a tape measure to try to help me visualize, but I'm still not sure. Usually videos help me best, but I couldn't find any for this bag. Was hoping someone here might have direct experience with this bag. Thanks for your help! :flowers:

Looking forward to seeing pics of your tote! :smile:

Oooo I have been known to make bags out of paper... So, two 7" circles, (maybe add a bit for taping purposes) and then ...a 3" wide strip, what, 14" long? Tape it to the circles in a couple places, and quit cussing, this will work. :smile:

I don’t have one but it sounds like it should fit . You don’t carry much. What color are you thinking?

Thanks for the suggestion! I thought "how will I draw a circle? I'll trace a bowl!" And realized that I should just use a similar sized bowl to see if my stuff fits :cool: I think the small will work! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for the opinion! I think it will work too but I've been ridiculously wrong before, so some extra advice helps me feel more confident! The colors are all lovely! I'm thinking Honey might develop the most beautiful patina, so leaning towards that one. If you have any advice I'd love to hear it, though!

Wow, it's on such a good sale that I figured it's an old model! Thanks for letting me know.

I bought one bag from them years ago and gave it to my Mom. Only in this July did I start getting them for me so I only know what I have learned since then. I went a bit over board since then. The honey is a very pretty color.

I hope your mom likes her bag :) thanks for sharing your opinion about the honey color!
 
Papaya Mini Crossbody Tote. I want PLG to make many things in this color. I love it!!! And this leather won't scratch easy - it's more pebbled then my Deep Water tote, which has that 'oiled' finish. Anyway, I have finally found my 'orange'. I think this color is a perfect fall color, too, @dcooney4!

This is gorgeous. The color is amazing. Was this from their regular stock or their almost perfect stock.
