Stylish gym bag

Hi
I m looking for a new gym bag. Not too big as often carry it with me to work etx. But would like a slightly stylish option ... Does that exist?!
What does everyone use ?

Hi Turq miss you on MNV. I use a longchamp le pliage travel bag, so light and not sporty-looking.

I second a longchamp pliage travel bag, although I saw some nice ones in Sweaty Betty recently but I'm not sure they'd hold enough. The only thing with the longchamp is no shoulder strap so not so easy to carry when you're loaded down with other things thank goodness for the pushchair
Come back and update if you find something as I'm always looking for gym bits

Stylish? Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but I bought this. It hasn't actually made it to a gym yet Blush

Have a look at the Lululemon website. I have one of their bags and it's fantastic - loads of space, but when the bag isn't that full you can squash the sides in to make it much smaller to carry (handy when on the tube, bus etc). They are expensive £100++ but if you carry it 3/4 times a week it's worth it imo.

For cheaper options, Sweaty Betty have some nice ones, but as someone commented above, they are smaller.

Thanks for the suggestions
Hi Mara :) have considered pilage, but it lacks pockets , I could get Seperate punches though I suppose. I swim train 4-5 times/ week plus Pilates / running, so I love the idea of lots of pockets / pouches.
I often end up bringing gym bag to work or having it with me on day s out n about to pop in to gym/ pool en route home or out, so pilage would be good in that it s 'neutral' though. Pilage s are ubiquitous round here too, probably becaus they re a sensible choice I suppose.
Currently have two sweaty Betty ones, but end up taking dh s one mostly!
I like the lululemon bag though! wonder if it ll fit everything I need ?
I love the monki one but think the I might go off the print after a bit, and I d like top closing.
