Funky schoolbag for 10 year old - any ideas?

Hello, wonder if you clever style people can help?

My nearly 10 year old dd is one of the last 2 in her class to be using her original bookbag and would like a schoolbag for her birthday next month.
She'd like an over the shoulder/satchel/record bag (not sure the right name?) - you know, a long strap to go over your head and bag hangs down on your hip.

She's not a girly girl, but not a full on tomboy. Can't stand pink. Loves red, Dr Who, Harry Potter, Moshis, cats, dogs, swim&gym, reading and more reading.

I just don't know where to look for a bag for her, or brands or whatever? Live in the nether regions of civilisation. Ok not quite, but not easy to get to shops, so would like to at least narrow it down online. Budget up to about £20. Could push up to £30 for the right thing.

The thing here with my ten year old seems to be Gola bags... Sorry can't link on my iPhone....they have long strap, assortment of colours and look a bit retro....

Oooh thanks all, hadn't noticed your replies till now!
dd is keen on the ebay/xiaomel cartoon ones so i think we'll go with that, nice and cheap too.

Love my girl - thank you for so much effort! Love the hoops one, but how much?!!
