... How do you decide what must go out of your closet?

Alas, I can't use clothes to make that decision - I am a jeans/t-shirt kinda person, so - the bag I wear is what people see, not my clothes. Which means I am just screwed for having too many bags. :laugh: And I do have a little bit of space in the OMG Closet, so ... I've got room. Tentatively. :nuts:

I am mostly jeans and a tee shirt too! Though I do try to coordinate my bags with my tops in summer and with my coats in winter. Maybe more so now that I am totally bored. Lol

I've bought several of their bags over the last few years and I have always been very pleased with the quality and construction, especially for the price. I also love buying USA-made. I have a few of the large totes, two cosmetic pouches, and a couple of the crossbody bags. My husband has a briefcase and quite a few of their smaller leather goods. They hold up well and age beautifully! PLG reminds me of those 1970s artisan leather bags you can occasionally find at flea markets or sales.

Here are a couple of mine - the black with tan handles & monogram patch, a grizzly tote, and my first Portland purchase, the light one with the dark handles.

If you like Portland, another brand to look into is Lifetime Leather, out of Arizona I believe. They are a little pricier, but the bags are more luxuriously finished and great quality.

I find for me with the little mini I almost always keep a veracord felt organizer in it. It helps the floppier leathers hold their shape and just adds organization in general. I now admit I have ten of the mini's . Never in my life would I have thought I would end up with that many of the same bag. I tried to list one of the colors for a day or so , but then took it back down. I ended up listing other bags that are pretty but not as easy to use.

I got my mystery tote box today and am SO pleased...I was hoping for green, and I got green!!

I have a new phone on order too, so these photos are not the best, but the items are lovely and I am super happy with all of them!
