About Portland Leather

We have come a long way since the garage days! Portland Leather Goods was established in early 2016 by our founder Curtis Matsko. Before Portland Leather Goods, you couldnt find a simply designed, affordable bag made from high quality fullgrain leather. Even if the aesthetic and the price were right, the leather felt and looked cheap, or worse, it wasnt even real leather! In order to get a beautiful full grain leather bag, you had to spend a fortune. Were proud to make a leather bag with classic appeal at a price everyone can feel good about.

At Portland Leather Goods, we are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members.
