Glad to have a shop-with-me video and getting the lowdown on the deals and the unique shopping experiences. And btw, anytime I'm in the Portland area, shopping on 23rd is a MUST (and they have some awesome restaurants, too!)
I live in SW Washington, I did not know Portland Leather Goods existed!! I live about 30 minutes away, I will have to go shopping soon! Enjoy your videos
Hi! I’m so glad I helped you discover PLG, esp since you live soooo close by!! Def recommend checking out the outlet store since it has so many fun colors and styles ☺️❤️
Love your PLG vids! And ty for all the useful info about the outlet and retail stores. I'd like to pay both a visit (probably next year) so the locale and parking descriptions were super useful to know. Awesome haul, love your items. I'm a big pebbled leather gal myself. Out of curiosity did you get a chance to take a look at the Poppy? I ordered one online (I liked the detachable straps) and since we have similar bag tastes, I'm curious what your thoughts are.
Hi! I'm so glad my videos are helpful and I hope you have a wonderful trip!! ❤ The poppy seems like a very convenient bag however I don't have one, mostly because I typically carry more things so I prefer slightly larger bags. I also chose the mini metro over the poppy during my trip because I loved the squishy dream leather that was available in the metro and not the poppy. Other differences compared to the metro is the flip magnetic closure on the metro vs the zip closure on the poppy, and the poppy has an outside pocket. The detachable cb strap is also definitely a plus! LMK how you like the poppy!!
OMG -I'm so excited for you and your husband's visit- It was my first time to Oregon and I had such a great time! I hope you find the items you are wanting!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi- some of their descriptions say YKK zippers and other products are nonspecific. I’ll check all my bags when I get back home and let you know if all of mine are!
@sandradeguire299 - my PLG items With YKK zippers are all sizes of my totes, regular Lola, crossbody totes, and large Bozemann wallet. The ones without YKK (zipper says g2) are: taco, eclipse, makeup pouch, and all of my rainstorms. I double checked my order history and it’s a mixture of AP and premium items throughout and doesn’t correlate with YKK. Despite the items not being all YKK, I haven’t had any issues with zippers yet. Hope this helps!
I had to giggle, it looks like you put eyeshadow on one eye only. Reminded me of that time I left for work with my eyes all done EXCEPT I'd forgotten mascara. Derrr. 😂 Anyway, maybe it's just the uneven lighting.
I worked on 23rd for a few years, down by Gleason. It’s still a nice place to walk/shop/nosh, but it was so much better before all the owners outpriced so many of the small businesses with insane lease hikes; a bunch of boring chains replaced them. Kinda need to cross the river and go to Mississippi Ave for that local shopping vibe, now.
Hi! I use my fortune cookie to put coins in, specifically I keep it in my car and filled it with quarters for the parking meters. The taco was a bit of an impulse buy because the color was beautiful and I LOVE the tassel zipperpull. I haven't decided what I want to use it as, but I feel like it'll be a good catch all for my smaller purse items. Any other ideas? Great question!!!
Thanks for sharing! Great colors.
Great review and I liked the comparisons of the two retail sites. Love your purchases!
Hi! Glad you was helpful!! Thank you!!! ❤️

Thanks for taking us along with you to the outlet and the retail store😊😊😊 Also can you do a Portland Leather Collection?
Glad you enjoyed shopping with me ;) Yes, I can put your video request on my list of future videos! ❤️

I really enjoyed your review! Very helpful tips. I’m heading there this week.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you! Have a great trip and fingers crossed they have lots of good stuff you are wanting!!!
I just found this video. I love Portland Leather. Also bonus. No sales tax in Oregon.
Oh how awesome! I didn’t know that about Oregon!! So jealous!!
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. Engaging and clear, you have grasp of what might be of interest to your audience. Many thanks!

The makeup bag is lilac.😊
OMG! You're so good! Now I can look for other similar similar items! Thank you!! ❤
@@savvyladyreviews oh yes, that color is incredible!!
I live closest to the retail store but due to the parking I prefer going to the outlet store. Free easy to park parking is the key for me.
Agreed! Free parking makes such a huge difference! Enjoy!!!
I will be going in about 3 weeks when my husband and I travel to Oregon. I am excited to visit the outlet!
OMG -I'm so excited for you and your husband's visit- It was my first time to Oregon and I had such a great time! I hope you find the items you are wanting!! ❤️❤️❤️

Can you order shoes at the retail or outlet store although they don’t sell shoes at either store but online?
Unfortunately PLG has discontinued their patina shoe line ! 🫨
Hi! What's the color of the pink fortune cookie? It's gorgeous!! 😍
Hi! I think it’s tulip however I’m not 100% sure since I got it from the outlet. Thanks for stopping by ☺️❤️
I visited the outlet store on a Thursday around 1. There were no lines. 😊
Nice!! Thanks for sharing! I can’t wait til I can go back to OR to visit the outlet again ☺️ What was your fav find while you were there?
No tax either!
Where is the outlet at?
Hi! I went to the outlet in Portland, OR but they recently just opened up a second location in Austin, TX if that’s easier/closer for you!
@@savvyladyreviews OMG thank you, will definitely go there, it is an hr from me. You are the best, thanks
Do they consistently use YKK zippers throughout their bags and wallets? Thank you for the video.
Hi- some of their descriptions say YKK zippers and other products are nonspecific. I’ll check all my bags when I get back home and let you know if all of mine are!

Hope this helps!
@@savvyladyreviews Thank you for the detailed analysis. I've been told quality items would have YKK zippers, so I do find it odd when it's sporadic.
I had to giggle, it looks like you put eyeshadow on one eye only. Reminded me of that time I left for work with my eyes all done EXCEPT I'd forgotten mascara. Derrr. 😂 Anyway, maybe it's just the uneven lighting.
Hahaha your comment made me giggle! It’s the lighting that makes it look like that, but now I can’t UNSEE it since I can see what you mean Lolll 🤣
@@savvyladyreviews 😂😂 sorry ❤️
We locals call the 23rd neighborhood “trendy third”!😂
That’s so fun to know! It is such a very fun and trendy area ☺️
I worked on 23rd for a few years, down by Gleason. It’s still a nice place to walk/shop/nosh, but it was so much better before all the owners outpriced so many of the small businesses with insane lease hikes; a bunch of boring chains replaced them.

How do you use your taco and fortune cookie?
Hi! I use my fortune cookie to put coins in, specifically I keep it in my car and filled it with quarters for the parking meters. The taco was a bit of an impulse buy because the color was beautiful and I LOVE the tassel zipperpull. I haven't decided what I want to use it as, but I feel like it'll be a good catch all for my smaller purse items. Any other ideas? Great question!!!
Put tampons in your taco? 😂 🤷🏼♀️
The no bathroom thing is kind of weird, I have a tiny bladder 😅
We used the Burgerville bathroom on the corner. It wasn’t the cleanest but very friendly staff.
Haha - We were in the same situation and we were debating on going to a nearby place to use the restroom!...that's why I mentioned it to FYI others 😂
