Kate Spade Knott Carryall Bag vs Croc Chic Handbag

Buy the Kate Spade Knott Carryall if you need one bag that carries a phone, a large wallet and an iPad and works for work, travel and daily errands. The Croc Chic is a small fold-over clutch, so it holds a phone and a few cards and little else. The Knott is pebbled leather with a real crossbody strap and three compartments; the Croc Chic is polyurethane with a twist lock and no strap. Owners of the Knott praise the soft leather and how much it holds without feeling heavy. The Croc Chic rates slightly higher but is a going-out bag, not a carryall.

• Choose the Kate Spade Knott Carryall if you want a roomy leather tote you can wear crossbody and organize into three compartments.
• Choose the Croc Chic if you want a small, dressy clutch for evenings and only carry a phone, cards and lipstick.
