bag for elderly mum recommendations

Can anyone suggest a lightweight but largeish crossbody-style bag that my mum could use to carry stuff around the house as she’s using a walking frame so can’t carry anything in her hands? Doesn’t much matter what it looks like, just needs to be practical

My mum and sister both swear by their Kipling bags for this sort of thing. Kipling makes a variety of sizes and colours

My aunt had a bag on her walking frame. Not this one but something like this https://www.mobilitysmart.co.uk/apron-bag-for-walking-frame

I was going to suggest Kipling. They're utterly bombproof, can be machine washed and are cavernous even when a small size.

Thank you. The Kipling bags are too expensive but the apron bag that attaches to the walking frame looks really good so we will try one of those 😊
