Please help me find a replacement. I've been looking for months. I have a cross body bag. It's not even leather. It's vinyl I think. It's falling apart.
I use it regularly mainly to go into London on train, tube, and bus, to hospital consultant. The fact it's across my body makes me feel safe, and has 2 zips to fit mobile, so easy to get to, if phone rings.
It is SO soft and fits into my body perfectly.

I have to carry quite a lot of stuff in the main bag: car and house keys, glasses case, purse, travel card, lucozade, glucose tablets, blood testing machine kit, medical notes.

I can't find similar.
But please suggest a not expensive option.

I have a lovely cross body bag from white stuff with a main compartment and one pocket on the outside. I love it

The material is really thin and really soft, so it weighs nothing, until I put my shit load of stuff in. That's why it clings to the side of my waist so comfortably.

Is that because it's cheap? Vinyl rather than leather?

I have no idea where I got it from or how much it was, because I think I may have had it for 10 years, but I bet it was under £20.

Kipling bags weigh nothing, have cross-body straps, and last forever. I don't know what price you're looking for but they are usually cheaper on eBay.

Try a Kipling, ni weight yo bag. Lots of space and often pockets. If you buy from QVC although you pay postage you have 30 days to see if it works for you or you can return it, you can use it in this period too.
