Michael Kors Mercer Medium Pebbled Leather Crossbody Bag vs Coach Cu068 Leather Shoulder Bag

Both are leather Coach and Michael Kors bags built for daily carry, but they solve different problems. The Mercer is a true crossbody with a detachable, adjustable strap, a center zip divider and card slots, so it keeps you organized and hands-free. The Coach Cu068 is a larger shoulder bag with a magnetic snap and a single snap pocket, roomier but less structured inside. Owners of the Coach praise the leather and size; the Mercer's pebbled leather and gold-tone hardware hold up well and resist scratches. Pick the Mercer for hands-free organization, the Coach for a bigger, softer shoulder carry.

• Choose the Michael Kors Mercer if you want a hands-free crossbody with a zip divider, card slots and a detachable adjustable strap.
• Choose the Coach Cu068 if you want a roomier shoulder bag with a soft natural-grain leather and quick magnetic access.
