Anyone fancy helping me find a bag please

I am fed up of bags that aren't quite right! I probably have made more impulse buys of bags than any other item, so really need help to find what I'm after..

I would like
Leather
A dark colour, not too shiny. My ideal would be dull brown that ages a bit like an old briefcase!
Soft rather than rigid
Long enough strap to be able to wear across body as well as on shoulder
Big enough for purse, phone, keys, makeup bag, notebook and pens, bottle of water and the odd small purchase.
Ideally Under £100
If it can come from John Lewis that would be fab as I have a gift card for £100. But if not, it will be requested from dh for my birthday so can up the price a bit Grin

All help gratefully received

Wow toejamfootball thank you so much!
The ones I like best of those are the FatFace ones so may go there tomorrow as it's definitely an idea to see in person to get a better idea.

Watching with interest as I'm looking for pretty much the same thing! I like the look of the Fossil Kinley bag but it only has the long x-body strap.

Not under £100, but I've one of these which is perfect and has lasted for years of day to day use: www.mimiberry.co.uk/collections/women-bags/products/juno-whisky

Osprey will have something that fits your description

Someone on here linked this a few weeks ago and I'm smitten.

Oops, noticed you specified not too shiny. I like three of the colours though, but I can't decide.....

LaceandChintz · 13/07/2017 18:02

OCSockOrphanage yep just a little too shiny Grinbut thank you and for other posters suggestions.
I think, having bored myself browsing online, I'm probably after what they call a slouch bag.
