ok, imo they are both great bags and 2 of my favs. i have them both .the leigh used to be my favorite, go to bag , but now sadly the large zoe has taken that spot. i have to vote large leather zoe but honestly , you can't go wrong with either one. my one issue with the leigh would be that the front pockets are a bit small, but at least it does have front pockets which is always a plus. but, as for the zoe, the large is a wonderful size that always looks great, slouches fabulously , and the leather is so nice. good luck in your decision , and again, both are great bags.
