Marc Jacobs The Leather Medium Tote Bag vs Dooney & Bourke Pebble Grain Large Tote

The Marc Jacobs tote is the better pick if you want one bag that works as a shoulder tote and a crossbody, thanks to its detachable long strap and credit card slots. The Dooney & Bourke is the sturdier everyday carry: pebble grain leather that hides scratches, water resistance, a back pocket, feet and a roomier open interior. Reviewers of the Dooney praise its size and build for work and family outings; the Marc Jacobs is loved for its clean, structured look and versatility. Pick the Marc Jacobs for style and strap options, the Dooney for durability and organization.

• Choose the Marc Jacobs tote if you want a structured leather bag you can carry by the top handle or sling crossbody on a 56-inch detachable strap.
• Choose the Dooney & Bourke tote if you want a water-resistant pebble grain work bag with feet, a back pocket and room for a planner, water bottle and lunch.
