Looking for a new handbag, but it needs to be a backpack - any suggestions?

[MissMollyCoddle]

I have a 1 yr old and a 2 year old, so have a lot of stuff to take everywhere with me and need my hands free. I want a lovely handbag but realistically need it to be a backpack but don't want it to look like a gym/sports/school backpack.

Any suggestions? Can probably spend up to £50, £65 for the perfect bag.

I like Kipling bags

A few non shiny plastic backpacks at asos

Accessorize have a few fabric versions, too

Clarks: leather, but it is quite small

I liked the ones in monsoon, I rather hopefully pointed them out to my dh when shopping recently but can guarantee i won't get one.

You could also consider getting a cross body bag (like Orla Kiely's sling bags) as they are hands free. However, I find I have to switch shoulders every once and awhile.

I bought one of these at Winchester Christmasmarket this week, roomy, leather, lots of colours including patent, can be used as a shoulder bag or backpack and only £49

it's my bag

Thanks for those suggestions, I'm going to have a look and see which ones will fit all my stuff in and which I think will withstand an 'up north' winter!

I hadn't thought of across body ones, maybe I should look at those too. I love bag shopping but once I've bought one I won't be able to afford another so the pressure to buy the right one is high!
