Vera Bradley Small Vera Tote vs Vera Bradley Knollton Travel Tote

Buy the Small Vera Tote for everyday carrying: it is a compact quilted shoulder bag with a zip top and six interior slip pockets, and its 4.8 rating from about 5,800 owners shows it holds up in daily use. Buy the Knollton Travel Tote if you need one bag for trips: 36 L of space, a padded laptop sleeve, water-repellent recycled nylon and a trolley sleeve that slides over a suitcase handle. They are not rivals so much as different jobs, and the Knollton is the sturdier, more technical bag while the Small Vera Tote is the lighter, softer everyday one.

• Choose the Small Vera Tote if you want a small, quilted zip-top shoulder bag for errands, workdays and light loads.
• Choose the Knollton Travel Tote if you need a roomy carry-on with a laptop sleeve, water-repellent fabric and a trolley sleeve for travel.
