The Almost Perfect Aspen is a full-grain leather shoulder bag from Portland Leather Goods, sold as a factory-second version of the standard Aspen with cosmetic flaws only. It is unlined and unstructured, with a pebbled finish, a zip top, an adjustable strap with a 9 to 13.5 inch drop, and internal pockets. The Large measures 13.5 inches wide and tall with 5.5 inches of depth, so it swallows a laptop, water bottle and daily extras. Rivals at this size are usually lined and stiffer; the Aspen trades structure for slouch and light weight. Owners rate it highly for the leather and roominess, and the recurring complaints are the lack of lining, few internal pockets and the cosmetic flaws that come with the Almost Perfect grade.
