Poppy & Peonies Daily Tote vs Marc Jacobs The Leather Medium Tote Bag

Buy the Daily Tote Espresso if you carry a laptop, a water bottle and a lot of small items every day. Its organization is far ahead of the Marc Jacobs tote: cup holders, a removable padded laptop sleeve, a key leash and a trolley sleeve. The Marc Jacobs The Leather Medium Tote Bag is the better pick if you want a plain leather bag that looks sharp at work or dinner and will outlast a fabric tote. Owners of the Daily Tote praise the pockets and easy-clean fabric but complain it gets heavy when full and that the plastic strap clips and vegan leather handles feel cheap. The Marc Jacobs bag is simpler and sturdier in material, but it has no laptop protection and little internal structure.

• Choose the Daily Tote Espresso if you need a work-and-travel bag with a laptop sleeve, bottle holders and a luggage pass-through.
• Choose the Marc Jacobs The Leather Medium Tote Bag if you want a clean leather tote for the office or evenings and do not need laptop padding or bottle pockets.
