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 couldn’t find a simply designed, affordable bag made from high quality full–grain leather. Even if the aesthetic and the price were right, the leather felt and looked cheap, or worse, it wasn’t even real leather! In order to get a beautiful full grain leather bag, you had to spend a fortune. We’re proud to make a leather bag with classic appeal at a price everyone can feel good about.

Portland Leather Goods has doubled every year we have been in business and are always looking to introduce new products and styles! We hire amazing people who are excited to push the boundaries of what is expected and genuinely enjoy cultivating amazing ideas with a team.
