The go forth bag is definitely my choice ,hands down and you can see the love and dedication that goes into making it . I agree 💯 that as companies grow the often cut corners on quality 🤷♀️we see that with Michael kors ,and LV you can’t beat the quality they had baxk in the day Love and hugs ❤
Yes the details, quality, and personalization of GFG has me wanting more! I like my Lola still, but if I were to choose it would be my Avery! TFW Frances Have a great day! 😀
I purchase from both, they both have their pros & cons. If I want a lighter bag, PLG is the one to wear. But I love both, love their variety of colors.
Thank you for sharing!! I have been loving PLGs but after watching your video, it convinced me to order my first GFG bag!! I’m so sad I just missed the beautiful cobalt blue!
Great video! I’ve always wondered about GFG, but that’s the price range for a preloved LV bag, so for an unfinished tiny tote, I’d have to pass. PLG has been hit or miss for me, I’ve gotten three that I love, and two that I didn’t. The price is right, but the quality may not be there.
Great comparison and review! I like both brands. I agree with you though. The GFG bags are better quality. The leather and details are so nice! TFS xoxo 🤗
I own both. There are pros and cons. Overall, I like GFG better for the quality and customization. I wish they didn't get rid of many of their colors recently. Cross fingers than the red bison, cobalt, etc will return at some point.
I really love the Go Forth Bag. The Mini Avery in the Cobalt Blue is very pretty. Lifetime warranty is freakin awesome. I've heard of PLG for years. My Daughter use to live in Oregon and when I use to visit her there would be people caring PLG. I also purchased my daughter a wallet from there. Enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing.
Yes ma’am! Love me a good “VS.” video. Folks this is a totally unbiased review based on her own personal experience with quality, and overall impressions of these products. I know first-hand how impartial you are Mrs AKB, totally irrespective of price when it comes to quality, customer service and the little details that matter to you. You are a truly a connoisseur of quality materials, attention to detail, and craftsmanship regardless of the price tag. This is why I’ve always trusted your opinion on every nuance of what products we personally invest in. Your research is thorough, and I am in awe of how much you effort you put into conveying your own personal experiences with these fledgling companies not quite in the market yet of Coach, D&B and some other well known contemporary designers. Bravo. Such a succinct, and unbiased synopsis of a couple products you spent your own money on. You teach me new things about your craft daily, and it’s money well spent IMO. *XOXO* ❤
Awe thank you babe! I appreciate you saying that. I try to see all the details big and small. These 2 are great companies with differences that I thought needed to be discussed. Thanks for always supporting me! Xoxo ❤️
Hey, girl! I have bought PLG from both sides AP and retail and they do send the bags nicely wrapped on tissue paper and they also include a care card and some times discount code but they are nothing different than the discount code that they are having always advertised on their website. I haven’t bought nothing from Go Forth Goods but have been tempted to get a piece. But for me for that price I prefer Florentine leather from Dooney and Bourke 😉 either from ILD or their eBay ILD side. I do believe that PLG customer service is not the same since the company started to grow more and the quality have lower if I compare my first piece to my latest purchases. I have even started to consider to sell half for my PLG bags and just keep it to a few of them. I do prefer PLG smooth leather over pebble leather. Nice video 😊❤
Heyyy friend!!! Ok I love the bag charm and the bag it’s on! Temu for the bag? Are you kidding me? Wow! Omg now the bag of the day! I just love your bags! You have great taste!! Ok waiting on the main bags now! lol GFG is my fav of the two, but I love both! You make it hard to choose! lol!! TFS these beauties! Great video!! 💕💕💕
Hi friend! Yes Temu I know crazy and I love the bag and chain! Yeah for slg’s maybe I would get some pkg, but for another bag I think I would have to go with GFG! TFW 😀
Your Temu bag is very cute. The bag of the day is so pretty. This is a great comparison. I have bags from both PLG and GFG and I think you nailed it. I agree with you 100%. I think I’d buy PLG for accessories but would go to GFG for another bag. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
I've wondered about the comparison of these brands. I think you are spot on in your opinion. If I didn't have so many bags already, I would buy a bag or two from Goforth. I like that they will customize. I do like Portland for cosmetic bags. TFS
I have both PLG and GFG bags and I agree that GFG is a better quality bag. The first PLG bag I got back in May 2021 was a better quality than the most recent bags I got this year. I felt the leather was a bit different and the hardware was thinner and smaller. The GFG however the leather quality and hardware remains the same great quality. I wait for the30% sales to get the GFG. I have 2 mini Avery bags and waiting for my small Avery tote. 😊 I also love that GFG gives you not only options for closures, strap color/length but also colors! PLG has limited colors and if you want one of their "unicorn " colors you have to take a chance on the mystery boxes 🤔it
I definitely agree with your thought regarding GFG. I own 3 Portland bags and I only use one of them. I also own 3 GFG and a fourth on the way. the quality is so much better than Portland to be honest and i do think they are worth the money too.
I started with PLG due to price and now buy GFG. I have a few circle PLGs because they are unique and one large tote left for rough housing on rainy days lol
The branding is on all PLG bags, Premium or Almost Perfect. I have two Lola's and other premium and AP bags and all of them have the embossed logo. Maybe they don't put it on the Fog color for whatever reason. I have GFG also, and they are great bags too.
Although I appreciate your review, you're comparing apples and oranges. The leathers are from 2 different animals in the first place, with PLG being pebbled and GFG smooth. PLG has many styles similar to the GFG tote with bridle leather straps and soft, smooth, squishy leather. 😊
Definitely prefer GFG to plg. Ive sold all my plg so i can buy GFG. They care about their craft and their customers, and it shows. I would rather spend more money and never carry another plg trashbag again 😄
I don’t agree with everything you said. You really should have done more research. The comparison on these two bags were not good. One is bison while the other is cow hide. Bison is more durable and thicker. Of course they’re going to feel different. I own about 10 PLGs and 1 cobalt blue GFG. They’re all gorgeous, but again - apples/oranges.
