Portland Leather Mystery Box Reveal & Review

I received the Mini Tote Mystery Box to review in this post. It came in a medium-sized box and was neatly wrapped with tissue paper. The Mystery Boxes are also referred to as MB.

What’s in My Portland Leather Mystery Box

I received a bag plus 4 smaller accessories in my box. Here’s what I received:

Mini Tote Bag ($132) – I received the mini tote in a Indigo, a washed denim/chambray color. I absolutely LOVE this shade.
Adriana Pouch ($38) – The pouch came in Beluga (a really light mint green) and will be great to wear at concerts or just to keep in my mini crossbody for cords and knick-knacks.
Ballpark Pouch ($32) – I received this pouch in the (maybe) Sugar color. It has less pebbling but I am not complaining. It compliments my Indigo bag perfectly.
Sunglasses Case ($26) – I am MOST excited about this item because it’s perfect for someone who hoards sunglasses. The leather is super soft and collapses inside my purse, taking up very little space compared to my other bulky sunglass cases. It’s also sold out online, so it feels like fate brought this case to me. I received it in pebbled black. Thank you PLG gods!
Tassel Keychain ($16) – I received the small tassel keychain in Canyon brown. I like the neutral color and will probably use it as a purse charm on my PLG crossbody tote.

I didn’t receive any unicorn colors as I had hoped, but I am SUPER happy with the contents of my MB.

Also, a huge thank you to the ladies in the PLG Facebook Group who helped me identify the colors!

Below we’ll go over the pros and cons of PLG Mystery Boxes.

PLG Mystery Box Pros

Very Affordable – The Mystery Box is a great way to try new PLG products for a fraction of the cost. You can save up to 70% off MSRP. The Mini Tote Mystery Box costs $144. A mini tote alone costs $132. For an additional 12 dollars, you get four additional accessories, which is an amazing deal.
Makes a great gift! The Mystery Boxes are great for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas, and graduation gifts.
Surprise Factor – The surprise factor was very exciting to me. I was excited to open my box and even more excited that I received what I got. I’ll definitely be buying another one in the future.
Potential to receive a Unicorn color. Unicorn colors are hard-to-find colors that are very coveted by the PLG community.

PLG Mystery Box Cons

You do not get to choose what goes into your box. For some people, this can be scary, but you might get lucky like me because I honestly love everything I received.
You might get products that you won’t use or need. In this case, you can sell your PLG in their Facebook Group or on reselling sites such as eBay, Mercari, or Poshmark.
You might get duplicates of what you already have. Again, you can resell these items if this happens.
You can only choose from three mystery purse styles. As of now, PLG only offers mystery boxes with Mini Crossbody Totes, Medium Crossbody Totes, and Classic Totes.
Mini crossbody tote mystery boxes are often sold out. The mini crossbody tote is a popular style so it’s no surprise they’re often sold out.
All Mystery Box sales are FINAL. No returns or exchanges. You keep what you receive.

Should I Buy a PLG Mystery Box?

Yes, we highly recommend the PLG Mystery Boxes. It’s a great way to snag a significant deal on new PLG goods.

We loved everything we received in our box. The fun blue color is not what I’d typically choose, but I would definitely wear it with a cute summer outfit and on vacation. The size is perfect for holding all my essentials. I’ll definitely be showcasing my bag throughout summer!
