Portland Leather Goods Medium and Large Tote Size Comparison 

Me: I am done buying ANYTHING for a couple of months. Also me: clicks on a video about a purse I have been wanting, which will probably convince me to purchase one tonight.

LOL you need wheels for your totes! I no longer can carry that much so I have a set up in my car and carry light ❤️ Thanks for sharing

I have a zippered version of the medium Portland tote. Mine is almost two years old and the patina it has developed is amazing!

Thank you! I've considered these totes for a long time and it's nice to see them in person. And to see you in person too! :)

Omg I have the large with zipper version. I was debating of getting the extra large but when I started filling it up I was surprised everything fit. Yes it can get heavy.. My intention for the bag is to use it for travel purposes. But of course no traveling 😒 due to covid. But I will be ready when the time comes. Thanks for sharing.

I love being prepared for Armageddon as well😂

I enjoyed this video. It was nice to see what some of the totes look like from Portland Leather Co. I have a nice tote from Chic Sparrow. They also have a really nice large tote you might like.

I love my Portland Leather large bag! My husband picks at me because I have to take alllll my stuff, too! I mean, ya never know!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so so so much! 💗💕💖

If I have to go to my MomH’s apartment then my bag is the same. Packed to hilt, but add a crochet 🧶 project in there too🤣! I have to have all of it, you never know🤷‍♀️! I might be able to finish journal pages or my crochet project. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous leather bags💗🤗!

I'm going to buy one of their mini tote crossbody bags payday. Can't wait. Tfs

Thank you for this video . I just bought a crossover. It was on sale plus a 30% coupon . I can’t wait to get it !

❤️❤️beautiful both 👜

Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks for the video - I read that book! It was a shocker and a half!

I've been eyeballing these bags for quite some time. Thank you for making this video, I really want to purchase one this holiday season. How long did it take you to receive your package after ordering?

Thank you for this comparison Robin! I follow you on IG! I was thinking to get one thinking to get the oversized grizzly! I wanted to ask the straps look thin are they sturdy? Do you think they would snap if the bag is too heavy? Thank you❤️

I’ve been considering these bags, so thanks for the comparison. But I wonder about the weight when it’s empty, is it heavy while empty?

It’s crazy! I thought the large actually looked smaller than the large, but you can put more stuff inside the large. I think the difference is in the depth of the bag, and not the length and height. But watching you put things into both bags that seemed to look the same size, it was like magic.

Great comparison vid! I just ordered the Med. It will be perfect for my needs. But I would've gotten the Oversized Tote for that amount of stuff you put in your bag. I tend to pack a lot of stuff in mine, too, btw! Lol. 🙂

I really am having a hard time trying to decide between a large zipper or the tote without the zipper and a medium or a large. I am 6' tall, so I'm leaning towards large (I want to use it as my every day purse) so the big question is zipper or no zipper?

It looks like you have a wonderful personality =))

Great find!!! And I'm the same way with the carrying things in case there's a disaster thing, and I personally think it's smart because you don't ever know. Anyway, do you find the color or oils rub off on to other things bc it's vegetable oil tanned? TFS 🤍👍

Also, they have an “almost perfect” sale going. Just my way way of enabling. 😂

Love Portland Leather. Their leather is amazing! I have the large with a zipper top and my my initials on the front. Also have a medium open top tote. The leather is just awesome, and the prices are fantastic for what you are getting.

I jist received my first bag...may I ask what you mean when you said you roll it???

You should get a Kindle so you can carry your books without the weight and size.

Where do you go with the princess planner room on your shoulder? And how many hours do u spend there? And do you really spend hours writing in planners n journals? Then bring them all the way back home?😮😊

As much as I’d love a leather tote, I really can’t carry a great deal of weight on one shoulder. So, I use a lightweight and durable backpack. I need the weight distributed evenly. I actually have 3 backpacks, one for each of my jobs, each containing job specific books and resources, different sets of keys, each backpack has a fully stocked pencil case, an umbrella and sun hat. I just grab my wallet, my phone, my iPad, water bottle, my train tickets, my cosmetic pouch, a jacket and whichever backpack I need for my work that day. At Christmas time I resort to a wheelie suitcase as I always have lots more stuff to carry and I have to repack it every night depending on which job I’m going to the next day. Because I don’t drive here, I have to carry everything I need or might need on my back.

I just got the medium and I regret it. I really wish I’d gotten the large. 🙃

Lol. Soooo much stuff. How much of all that can you actually use while you are at work?, cause I want that job !!!! 🤣😂🤣🤣😂❤️
