Need a smart work bag (roomy, not large, with zip, and stylish)

I have up to £40/£50 to spend on a bag - a smart work bag (with a zip or at least inner section to secure my keys/purse in, and stylish, must be able to fit a4 documents so roomy but not massive like a shop for life bag!).

Don't care about label or anything.

I'm happy to buy something second hand, in blue/brown/beige.

I want something stylish and classy, but without a huge cost in case it gets lost/damaged/thrown around the car boot.

To illustrate, I adore Mulberry Bayswaters in dark leather browns, but there's no way I can afford £300+ even for a 2nd hand one.

I've been having a look through ebay, and there is such a diverse array of options that I'm actually more UNDECIDED now than when I started looking.

Item 220921905369 is very nice (vintage, 2nd hand) and very cheap. Item180721802492 in black looks like it'll do the job, too.

Help?

I know nothing about fashion but I'm sick of taking one of the kids rucksacks into work OR my tiny little handbag which can only fit keys/purse/hairbrush in at a push. Argh! If it helps, my normal wardrobe style is "shops out of Next, works in a bland office, wears too many fitted t-shirts and black trousers" - brutal truth!

Actually, I just spotted this thread:

Am I asking for the impossible? Simple, stylish bags.

and this lovely bag (scroll down) was in there:

... but all of the bags mentioned are FAR beyond my budget. grr.
