Spacious Tan Saddle Bag Hunt

Help me please! I've decided i can't live without a nice (preferably leather) tan saddle bag this summer, there's plenty around but I really need it to comfortably fit A4 files..any suggestions. Budget up to 150 ish. There's a few crackers in Fossil but don't think they're big enough sadly....

I can't think of anywhere that you would get a saddle bag big enough for A4 files. The biggest I've seen is something like this:

www.cambridgesatchel.com/en-gb/saddle-bags/the-large-saddle-bag-in-leather/SDLLG1005BBH10101.html

And as they're not squared-off, it would need to be much bigger than that for a rectangular folder. Everything I can find in a bigger size is described as a satchel.

I've had this for about 5 years which I really like if you could go more satchel-ish.

Ah that is so beautiful! Unfortunately my work wear is a bit formal for that look, hence the thought a saddle bag is smooth tan would be a nice compromise. I'll check out those other links, you're right of course that the shape is the issue....hmmm.... maybe i need a more square tan cross body, just something in a polished leather
