Love this bag!!! And I love all your little pouches and things. Oh man, the organization is just marvelous. I really love seeing how folks pack their bags. I’ve also been tempted by the Madewell bag, that you shared, for have now for so long long. Have you continued to use it? Still worth it? Thanks for this review! Packing a good bag makes going to work just a little bit better ;)
Thank you! I love my Madewell bags. I like having options, but I must say, this new bag, the leather wins over the Madewell Tote. The camera bag one is still nice because it is a smaller bag, so it would be used for different use.
I have the laptop in cognac and the tote backpack in honey. The tote backpack is my edc and I switch out to the laptop when I am traveling. I will say that initially when I got the honey I thought it was very firm, but after having used it every single day for just 2 months it has substantially softened. It is getting the most beautiful patina and I absolutely adore my bag. On the other hand the cognac is strikingly beautiful and my partner thinks the laptop is better looking than the tote. Both bags have been been through the ringer with me, I have STUFFED them and they are quite the workhorses. I hope you enjoy your bag, they really are worth every penny.
It's so nice to know that they age nicely. I love my bag so much. It holds everything I want to carry, and it is just so much fun to use. I am eyeing the black backpack tote now. 😆
I love Portland Leather Goods! I am subscribing to your channel because I love planning and bags and travelers notebooks and Chic Sparrow, and all the things. haha Have a great day.
Such a cute bag. I have an OLD Portland leather goods large zip tote that I’ve had for ages. It’s all floppy now, broken in just right. ☺️ Your bag is so tempting though. I do love a good backpack purse too.
Looks like a great bag! I had to check the description and follow the link to their website before I watched your video because I live on the north Oregon coast, so they're almost local but I hadn't heard of them. Following them on Instagram now. Thanks so much for sharing!
I haven’t tried Portland leather yet but I really want one of their zip top totes. I have just been trying to decide between the Galen Leather undyed tote (because pen loops❤️) or the Portland Leather. This backpack is so cute! I’m kind of worried Portland Leather will become a Chic Sparrow sized rabbit hole for me. 😬
That's a tough decision. I usually make a pro/con list to help decide these things. Galen Leather is another company whose products I enjoy, so I see why it would be hard to decide. :)
