I’d love a quick poll on which you prefer the look of - A or B! Thanks!

Wow, thanks! So that’s definitely more votes for A.
So A is the Fossil Rachel satchel. B is the Fossil Ryder satchel.
B has way more compartments than A - A has slip pockets on both sides and the usual inside pockets. B is indeed much more rigid leather - A is more squishy. Both have a detachable long strap.

I just reversed searched and really don’t like the opening of the Rachel bag. I can imagine it being a pain to get things in and out.

A, but I can't quite put my finger on why. B looks "flatter" somehow

It kind of is! They are very different shapes. B is like a little ‘case’, if that makes any sense. A is like this emoji 👜 and softer, less structured.
I love both though!!

A. Classic. Does it have a shoulder strap?

I don’t need to - but no, you couldn’t. An iPad would fit.

A is lovely. If there are no inside pockets, buy a handbag organiser to place inside.

Update - it’s arrived! And it’s perfect. Very happy with my choice and thank you MN for the opinions!

When it arrived I thought it seemed smaller than I’d thought - but I can fit masses - it’s like some kind of tardis.

A - looks like better quality leather.
