The travel tote?

or the east west signature tote?

I like them both, but I'm worried the travel tote's narrow handles might stretch or break with my books and the EW tote seems like it wouldn't hold everything, anyone used one of these for school?
 
Both are nice, but my cousin just received the east west signature tote in peony leather for Christmas. It's such a beautiful bag... so striking and it serves her well as a carry-all. I'll openly admit I was very jealous when I saw it!
