Dooney & Bourke Pebble Grain Satchel vs Dooney & Bourke Pebble Grain Allison Crossbody

Both are Dooney & Bourke pebble-grain leather bags with zip tops and gold-tone hardware, so the choice comes down to size and carry style. The Satchel holds more, has a 5-inch top handle plus a detachable 26-inch strap, and adds protective feet and an outside zip pocket. The Allison is a smaller crossbody with a 23-inch strap, a top handle, and a water-resistant finish. Owners rate the leather and stitching well; the Satchel's 4.7 rating from 62 ratings backs that up. Buy the Satchel for work and daily hauling, the Allison for light, hands-free carry.

• Choose the Pebble Grain Satchel if you carry a wallet, phone, keys, and a small tablet or planner, and want a bag that sits on a desk or table without tipping.
• Choose the Pebble Grain Allison if you want a compact bag that stays out of the way on errands and trips, and you like a pop of color.
