The Devan is so beautifully structured. You and are both 5’5.5” so the mod shot was super helpful!!! Also I’ve had my eye on the Anjou in mini cross body… thank you for showcasing these!!!
I love the design, but I mostly use bigger bags. I would definitely get one if they release an XL size 😂 Great review and also love seeing the organizer!
Hi Sam. You're my favorite PLG reviewer. I have not gotten into the planner world yet, but if/when I do, your content will be where I start. I was wondering if you've ever done any videos on your PLG or other bag storage system? I'd like to see how you have things organized and your thoughts on proper ways to store these beautiful bags? Keep doing what you're doing! You are great.
Hi there! I haven’t done a video, I think storage is so personal depending on your space! I use cubby shelves (the larger ones) and the baskets that go with them and sort by color/type of bag. I also have a bench at the end of my bed for larger bags. Then my most used bags hang on accordion hooks next to my closet. I do need to get something to cover the tops of my cubbies though, because dust seems to always find a way in.
I have this bag in Sugar Snap. One of my favorites! I may have to try with just an organizer. Looking forward to more colors. The chestnut is one I’m looking at too. Thanks for another great video!
First off, I've been watching your videos for years and have never commented. I absolutely love your real videos, I too struggle with the planner moving, dissatisfaction, etc that you do and it's just nice to know it's not just me. Second, I purchased my first Portland Leather bag last month and I am HOOOKED. I resisted all of your reviews for so long. I'm glad I finally gave in. Thank you for all of the content. And congrats on your lifestyle and health journey, I love that part of your channel as well.
I was passing on this bag as well. Because of your review, I bought/received/moved into this great bag. WOW-best purchase. Thank you for this review.❤ ❤ ❤❤
There is a sale on the site today. I almost used it. I’m happy I search for this bag on UA-cam to see it better. I went through your link and code. I also read with my physical and kindle books as well as plan with my planners. It’s good to see what all I can fit in the bag.
I liked the look of the bag and the straps were a non issue for me. Size is nice for me ( short stature). The one problem is there is no closure. I’ve had bags tip over in the car and everything goes flying. Or a grandchild turns/tips the bag over 🤦🏻♀️ I’ve passed on numerous bags from PLG because there is no snap or zipper. For me, it’s a deal breaker. ☹️
I am a zipper/cross-body person, so I am not drawn to the Devan, but I can totally understand why you love it! I do like the style because I am glad PLG is coming out with new styles that appeal to more buyers! That Grizzly leather is divine! I bought a small bag on Treet and the seller sent me a free purse organizer as a gift, but I haven't tried it out yet because it only fits in larger bags, and I tend to carry tiny bags the most, but next time I travel and take a larger tote, I'm going to test it out!
TFS Sam. Absolutely love this bag. Wish they had an option for a little larger version also. Grizzly, black & deep water are my go to at PLG, I 💙 them.
Thanks for this incredibly thorough review!! I think it’s too small for me but you’ve made it tempting. If you had compared it to a butterfly, I could tell even better if it would work for me. Well done!!!
Great timing as usual! I was just on the PLG website this afternoon for like 2 1/2 hours putting things in my car and taking them out. I keep looking at this bag. I figured the minute I saw that I would like it because of the shoulder straps and the size.. I learned my lesson because I hesitated on buying the small canvas totes that they had online for the past year and now they are gone and being sold at the sidewalk sale at the store! I am kicking myself! I thought the waxed canvas and leather tote was so cute, internal and external pockets and would be perfect for a planner totte. I’ve been eyeing the superior labor canvas totes, but they are so expensive so I thought the PLG canvas tote would be a great sub for the time being. But this is what you get when you wait and hesitate. So I think I’m going back to my shopping cart, and pulling the trigger on this tote. Thank you so much for doing a review!
I’ve been there myself! I’m currently back and forth about the large Nora. I think I’ll use the Devan more, just because it’s easy to access everything though. Like I said, trying to purchase less. 😅 I hope you get one!
Great video as always. I see a Kaweco sport fountain pen. Is that a new thing? Would love to hear the story and why kaweco sport? I myself just started with fountain pens (1 month).
I’ve had fountain pens for a while, but generally only use them in my journal. If I’m journaling. I got this one for Christmas to go with the Cats & Me Hobo.
Thank you for sharing this video! ! I purchased the replica myself and I absolutely love it! kislux I would never spend a fortune on a genuine item. I'd rather spend the rest of my money on vacation travel! ! But this is just my own choice and opinion
mamacoo You are so well-informed about luxury accessories and bags. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
So glad you did all these videos. So helpful in what to look for when I purchase.

I agree, it’s a beautiful little bag. I bought it when it first came out and sent it back. It was way too small for me. 😥
Got my Devan and I love it . Your review helped a lot.
Yay! I’ve been eyeing the large, like I need more bags. 😅
I love the design, but I mostly use bigger bags. I would definitely get one if they release an XL size 😂 Great review and also love seeing the organizer!

I am so excited about Chestnut!
Did you ever get a chestnut? I just ordered mine. Decided on that rather than a “color”.

Grizzly leather looks and feels fantastic!
Love it! I do like some type of closure, but this one is so tempting!
It’s a great bag!
I've been eyeing this bag since its release right after Mother's Day. I am waiting for the pebbled black to come out. Yours is a beauty!
Pebbled black would be perfect!
I’ve been waiting for someone to post a Devan review!
Yay!
Great video! Good to see you! That bag is gorgeous! The Grizzly looks really high end, professional, etc. I need to get the purse organizer!
Hi! Yes, Grizzly is very sophisticated without being stuffy.
Thank you for this great review 😊 I got the Devan in Naples
TFS Sam. Absolutely love this bag. Wish they had an option for a little larger version also. Grizzly, black & deep water are my go to at PLG, I 💙 them.
I think this size is great, but I wouldn’t say no to a little bigger either. 😂
@@samplans That's good to know 🙂 Yeah at least just a tad bigger would be nice.
Thanks for this incredibly thorough review!! I think it’s too small for me but you’ve made it tempting. If you had compared it to a butterfly, I could tell even better if it would work for me. Well done!!!
It’s less bulky than the butterfly for sure. That ended up being one of the bags I didn’t keep in my collection, so I couldn’t compare. 😅

I was on the fence … You just convinced me! I will try!!!
Yay!! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to future PLG reviews 🤗
Thank you!
I love this bag style! I’ll have to go on the website
It’s great, can’t wait to get the Chestnut!
Great videos as always ❤!!Love the bag !
Thank you!!
Which size canvas organizer is that one? The small or medium?? Want to buy it with the bag :)
Small! The medium is pretty big.
I’m back in a diaper bag, but this… could probably work for short errands. Hmmmmm… thank you for your review!
You could totally throw a diaper and wipes in there too!! 😅
Do you have a link for the organizer? 🙏🏼🩷
Hi! I was wondering which organizer size you chose for this bag? Thank you!
Small!!
Great video as always. I see a Kaweco sport fountain pen. Is that a new thing? Would love to hear the story and why kaweco sport? I myself just started with fountain pens (1 month).
