Freja NYC Chrystie Bag vs Marc Jacobs The Leather Medium Tote Bag

The Marc Jacobs Leather Medium Tote is the sturdier, more versatile bag: full-grain leather, a zip closure, and a removable crossbody strap. The Freja NYC Chrystie is a shorter, softer foldover tote in vegan leather with a magnetic lock and no crossbody option. Owners of The Tote Bag line praise its durability and roomy interior; the Chrystie appeals to shoppers who want a compact, lightweight shoulder bag.

• Choose the Freja NYC Chrystie if you want a compact, lightweight vegan-leather shoulder bag with a foldover magnetic closure and a soft, unstructured shape.
• Choose the Marc Jacobs Leather Medium Tote if you want full-grain leather, a secure zip top, and a removable crossbody strap for hands-free carrying.
