Hi! This is such a great video! So helpful! Thank you so much! I agree with your comparison. Thank you so much for doing this comparison and for sharing. ❤️
The other bags are beautiful ❤️ but PLG stole my heart. I’ve looked at other brands that make full grain leather bags & idk what it is. PLG just interested me more. I’ve loved every bag I have gotten from them. I now have, two mini crossbody totes in honey & cognac. Two triangle shoulder bags in black & coldbrew. Also just recently got one of their new line up bags from their veg tanned leather bags in hawthorne. PLG will always have my heart ♥️ great video. Love this comparison video.
Me too!! I just love their bags so much!! Cognac is next on my wishlist. How do you like the triangle bags?? I’ve thought about those as well. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate the support so much. Have a wonderful week 💖🌸😊
@@Loris-Stories I absolutely love the triangle shoulder bag ♥️ it fits a lot and it has a big outer slip pocket & a interior slip pocket at well. I have black & coldbrew but to be honest, I love the coldbrew color only because it’s pebbled & it’s less structured. I also ordered the crossbody strap with it & it is a generous length. But definitely order cognac. I would recommend that color. The leather is REALLY smooth & over time it has gotten so smooth & feels kind of squishy lol. Honestly it feels smoother than honey.
KerryNoel is another brand of full grain leather made in USA. They also have a mini tote. Been contemplating that company also. Please do a video of the replacement bag. I'd be curious to know what you think of the inside leather vs the PLG. Your house is beautiful. Love the ceiling.
I just ordered my first PLG directly from their website for Christmas and I was shocked to see a "Made in Mexico" tag inside. I thought they were bags made in the USA. So I was disappointed. Now I'm waiting on my first order from GFG and I'm very excited!
I think gfg leather is the most substantial of the 3 . And it’s so nice to be able to customize your handbag. PLG seems cheap. Their metal isn’t real brass ! It’s cheap. But I love the large pockets on the front . At no extra cost . It’s more causal . I love the mini pebbled KMM , but not their stiff leathers or larger tote shape .
GFG leather is outstanding, I've found nothing like it, it's really the highest quality I've seen. I think the KMM bag you may want to try, if you try another one would be the Kodiak leather. It will be much softer and less structured than the bag you currently have. Also, I believe they do offer the ability for longer straps; the one you have - those straps being so short would make me crazy. I like PLG, but the one thing that drives me personally nuts is the color of the fabric right next to the zipper, and how it does not match the bag at all, so I have to be very careful of which bags I order with zippers; the ones with the light colored fabric around the zipper - I really do not like.They do have a nice selection of bags, and I have quite a few of theirs as well as GFG, whose bags I love. I am going to try a KMM & CO bag in the Kodiak leather and see how I like that one too. Thank you so much for making these comparisons, really helpful information, and I appreciate when people are honest and just say what they think - it's a lot more helpful!!!
I really want to get a PLG backpack but i am not sure about the zipper. I got a PLG makeup bag and was not impressed by the zipper, especially comparing it to GFG zipper. How’s your PLG backpack holding up?
Hi there!! So this is what I’ll say about the zipper… my PLG SLG zippers are not great. They’re tough. It’s not a smooth zip, ALTHOUGH, the zipper on the tote back back is super smooth. It’s like the exact opposite of the small leather goods. I think you’ll be okay with the zippered tote, it’s one of my most favorite carries!! Good luck 😉🌸💗
First! Lol. Great comparison. KMS is new to me - hadn’t even heard of it before now. I am so pleased with PLG that I haven’t ventured past it, but your GFG tote looks like a great bag, minus those marks, which IMO definitely aren’t from the cow.
Yes!! The GFG bag has a very luxurious leather feel. This would definitely be a keeper for me if it hadn’t been for those marks on the back. I’m very happy they’re willing to exchange it for me but I did find it strange that you must specify no blemishes when order a bag. I would have thought that would be a given. Thanks so much for watching and as always, I so very much appreciate your support. I hope it’s a great week for you my beautiful friend 😘🥰💖
Yeah the smooth leathers from KMM aren't great, but I have a navy Kodiak (pebbled leather) mini that I swear could have been made by GFG it is so good and high quality. But the Fern green allegedly Kodiak leather Market tote I bought from them last fall was NOTHING like the mini. It was thin, way smoother and didn't feel like leather at all. The color was so beautiful though I still kept it. PLG has my vote for best value for the quality you get, but for the overall best quality of leather, I think GFG has it. BUT, I do have a gripe against GFG: their stitch work hasn't been great in my experience. It can be really rough and rugged looking, which is not a problem I've ever had with PLG. Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Hi there and thanks so much for watching!! It’s SO funny you say that about KMM… I JUST saw a video today about KMM’s natural vachetta leather bag and how the purchaser thought it was very thin. She was surprised!! I did see a video in GfG’s natural vachetta and it was much thicker than what she shared.
Awesome video! I’m still learning about these brands and doing my research so that ai can make the best choice. Your video was extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing 🤗
From what I understand, KMM also has different types of leather. I think their kodiak leathers would be closer to GFG. I wish you would try one and give your review. I'm in the process of trying different leather companies too. I have PLG Coldbrew mini tote and I love it. I recently got the GFG mini tote in black with tan handles and I love that one too. I've been watching KMM videos trying to decide on that brand.
Now that makes sense!! I was so surprised to see that the leather on the KMM bag I purchased didn’t seem as luxurious as the GFG bag or even the PLG BAG that many say is of much lesser quality. I will definitely give the Kodak bag a try. The GFG goods mini Avery is just really sumptuous IMO. I, am of course returning that bag as well for an exchange. The blemishes on the back would bug me if I kept it. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate the support so much. Have a fabulous week 💖😘🌸
Great video Lori! Your Avery Mini is beautiful! Mocha is a great color. I am glad you are able to exchange it. It may be time for me to look into the Portland bags too. I like the look of your Honey bag. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for the important information 🧡
Hi Ilene!! I love the Mocha… it’s SUCH a lovely color. GFG appears to have excellent customer service so I’m very happy the bag can be exchanged for one with no blemishes. That Honey 🍯 color is right down my alley. It’s a great bag, IMO. Thanks so much for watching 💕I appreciate your support so very much. Have a wonderful week 💖😘🌸
Did you get your replacement GFG? And did you try one of the other KMM leathers? I'm LOVING my KMM mini in cypress. The leather is so soft and thick and amazing.
If you like the gfg pebbled leather, you have to try their bison or kodiak leathers. They feel nothing like the copper limit ed edition leather. Great review btw!
GFG for me I have same mocha tote and love. Since finding them I’m selling PLG bags. Disclaimer GFG is local for me. I’ve been under a rock- leather is awesome but the bags are heavy. These are not logo mass produced no individuality bags.
👋🏿👋🏽👋🏼Awesome comparison! I was watching a Vloggers review of GFG and a commenter mentioned PLG, when I went to their website, I was hooked. I have purchased bags, tassels and a wallet and I will be purchasing 2 more bags. The price, construction, leather, delivery, customer service and w/o a doubt, styling, hooked me. GFG has good reviews, and some bags I like, but I feel the color of the metal should be uniformed, not be clunky and to me, it looks like a feed bag, not impressed with the dying of colors and they have limited styling. I like your review, just subscribed, look forward to the next👉🏼👉🏾👉🏿
Interesting review - I have all 2 brands and like GFG the best - and KMM second - the other types of leather KMM would have been a better comparison - they do have thicker ones - right now both GFG and KMM have a cobalt bison bag that is made out of the exact same leather - I really dislike PLG because their bags are now Made in Mexico - I like to support American workers in the USA so no more PLG for me.

Hello! Have you tried Coastal Hillbilly yet? I would love to hear your thoughts on them.
If you like the gfg pebbled leather, you have to try their bison or kodiak leathers. They feel nothing like the copper limit ed edition leather. Great review btw!
I just received my first PLG bag and LOVE it! It is the mini tote. Hooked! I may try GFG next. Thanks for the video comparison!
I’m so glad you love it!! I stand by my original opinion that PLG is great brand!! Thanks for sharing your experience!! Have a great weekend 😊💖
Thanks for the comparison. Hope you're doing well. TFS ☺️
Awe, you’re welcome!! Thanks so much for watching. 💖🌸😊 I am doing well, thanks for asking and I hope you are also. Have a fabulous week 😘

P.S. I also have the tote backpack (in Nutmeg) and I love it. Really impressed with this bag. I use mine for travel though.
That Nutmeg is on my wish list!! That leather seems so soft and smooshy… 😊
