$60 is a great price @@epmcgee If you think about it, that's a $25 up charge. Very low. Most things double the price of cost so you get profit You have to remember design cost, money, the people who designed it, the marketing to market it. The company in America was shipping and handling and all those things It's probably only about an $8 to $15 profit range. Maybe less depending on how much marketing they do

As someone from the PNW it’s so weird to hear Portland Leather as a hyped new “online” brand. I still remember visiting their old caboose near the mall and looking at their bags and belts as a kid. Think they’ve locally been a staple for a while. (Was recently gifted an over the shoulder tote and matching wallet - I love them! Definitely has a little bit of a rustic/simple vibe in the stitching but the price is worth it and it’s quite durable and thick leather. Do intend to find a thick leather shoulder pad as I tend to overstuff and the strap is a little thin for comfort when heavy but that’s on me for I’m pushing the limits 😅
