Me to. The only issue i had with an “Almost Perfect” cognac tote was the thing color transferred to every outfit i wore. Not sure if the leather was just not treated properly but it ruined a coat so i have a Grizzly i have not used yet and i will test that one. It looks like there is maybe more protection on the grizzly but the cognac was a mess but i love the bags. Maybe i will stick with the honey
I have not bought almost perfect because I am terrified i would be the one to get a badly beat up bag. I have never had transfer on to my clothes. I have had transfer on the inside of a bag to a light liner I put in bag that just sits in the closet. I hope you are able to resolve it.

I have had the grizzly bag for a year and am still seeing color transfer on light clothes and surfaces and things inside too. I put in a purse organizer in the same color so it seems to keep everything clean. I contacted the company and was told to wipe the surface of the bag with a damp cloth, then use a dry cloth to dry, and then the Kiwi Protect-All sealant. Will try this and see if it works!

Let us know how that works.
 
Bumping the thread to see more beauties and information.

A side note, I read on some of the FB groups that the meadow (tooled design on honey leather I believe) has had some issues with a recent batch and others said a couple other light colors had issues. Basically where if the rain hits it, it bubbles up or something. Customer service will accept return for exchange from what it looks like.

I’m usually a Dooney Girl but branched out after hearing about PLG. Purchased a wallet in Cold Brew and was hooked! I’d like to get the crossbody Tote bag, anyone have any opinions on wearability of this bag?

I own this (zippered), and I do like it! I’m a little over 5ft tall so I generally find these big for crossbody, but comfy on shoulder. That being said, in a pinch I wouldn’t mind using the crossbody option. Mine is brushed leather, so a little stiffer, which I prefer for this bag.
