Which purse?

Yes, this is a personal choice but just want to get opinions. I have always wanted a red bag but a really expensive one is not on the list and my family kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas. I' m buying for mom to give to me. These seem like quality bags ( I want a well made one) but not crazy $$$ (like $200 and up).
I am a SAHM so I wanted something bright for the winter and with a long strap. It could not be small but something to hold my phone, keys, small make up purse. I do not want a big bag where things get lost. Thanks for your feedback!

This :
Fossil
http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/fossil-preston-leather-flap-shoulder-bag?ID=1518398

got for $138.00 on amazon. I likecan store more stuff in this than the Dooney and has a lot of good compartments

or
Dooney

http://www.lordandtaylor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/lord-and-taylor/saffiano-leather-crossbody-0150-su264--1

got for $111.00, seems like a sharper, more classic, better made bag.

Re: Which purse?

I like the Fossil. I think more functional is worth it, and I have a Fossil bag that I love.

I have a ton of mid-range designer bags (Cole Haan, Coach, Kate Spade, etc) and I bought a Fossil a few years ago and I found it to be better quality than any of the others. The leather was like butter and it's held up really well. I was very impressed.

So I vote Fossil for sure!

The Fossil one on Macy's seems to be showing a different shape for the red than the other colors. I like the shape of the other colors. I think it is easier to get things out of a bag that shape as opposed to a deep one like the D & B.

I have a fossil bag that I have had for years. The leather is very soft & it is in good shape.

I'm going with the Dooney ... it does have functionality to it and is a much sharper looking bag. Tough choice because the fossil is a nice bag too.
