Little Swift or small cafe bag?..which one

[backpack]

I have 2 Small Cafe bags, I love them.

The bag is perfect for the essential and a paperback book or e-reader.

I don't have a Little Swift but I have several Swifts, both bags have O rings where Pouches can be clipped and they have generously sized pockets.

Hi,
Im trying to decide between the little swift or small cafe bag.
I intend using it as my day to day 'handbag' to carry essentials, I want a bag thats small enough not to be too bulky but big enough so I can add the odd book or odd things whilst shopping. Would also be using it whilst travelling, but my main concern with the swift is the fastening and how secure it is, ie no zip.
Has anyone else had this dilemma?, and if so what did you decide and why?
Also does anyone have any pics of these 2 bags side by side?
Thanks
