If you're deciding between the Crissy Full Crossbody and the Marina Grande Wallet, here are some main considerations when deciding which bag is perfect for you!

Arden Cove co-founders pick: Karin loves the Crissy Crossbody for her weekend adventures. She loves that she's able to pack everything she needs while staying out the whole day.

Marina Grande Wallet is 8” (20.3 cm) x 4.5” (11.4 cm) x 1.75” (4.4 cm). Weight is 0.525 lbs (238.1 g)

The Marina Wallet is similar in length to the Crissy Full Crossbody, but not as tall or wide. 

 

What fits inside the Crissy Full Crossbody and Marina Grande Wallet? 

Since the Crissy Full Crossbody is taller and wider, it fits larger items that the Marina cannot. For example, a 16.9 oz water bottle, sunglasses case, and a packable jacket. 

The Marina Grande Wallet is slimmer, and more ideal for small items like your phone, cards, keys, portable charger, lip stick, or ear buds.

Which is better pick for you? 

I suggest thinking about what you would like to carry with you more often. If you are more of a minimalist who loves an organized wallet, the Marina might be a better pick for you. If you need a larger bag that can fit more items, the Crissy is our most popular bag for a reason.
