Portland Leather Naomi Shoulder Bag vs Fossil Jessie Leather Bucket Bag

The Naomi is the better pick for a soft, roomy everyday shoulder bag with real leather feel and a comfortable over-the-shoulder strap. The Fossil Jessie is the better pick if you want a structured small bucket bag with a detachable crossbody strap and gold-tone hardware. Owners praise the Naomi's pebbled leather and capacity in the large sizes, but many complain it has no inside or outside pockets and the small size runs tiny. The Jessie is tidier and more versatile to carry, but it holds less and its interior is polyurethane.

• Choose the Naomi if you want a soft, lightweight leather shoulder bag that carries a lot in its larger sizes and you don't mind adding an organizer for pockets.
• Choose the Fossil Jessie if you want a compact structured bucket bag you can wear crossbody with a detachable strap and gold-tone hardware.
