Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag vs Longchamp Le Pliage Original Large Tote

The Longchamp Le Pliage is the better everyday and travel tote: it is light, folds flat, zips shut under a snap flap, and holds a 13-inch laptop. The Marc Jacobs tote is a stiffer canvas statement bag with a crossbody option, so it suits people who want a structured look and hands-free carry. Owners of the Le Pliage praise its durability and packability but note the thin nylon and leather corners wear over years; Marc Jacobs canvas holds shape but is heavier and less forgiving when packed.

• Choose the Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag if you want a structured canvas bag you can wear crossbody and treat as part of your outfit.
• Choose the Longchamp Le Pliage Original Large Tote if you want a light, foldable, zip-top carry-all for work, travel and daily errands.
