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. If you're looking at the Crissy and think it's not quite enough room, take a look at our Carmel Backpack.
