Please help me to find a decent leather bag that isn't too expensive

I'm tired of plastic bags that wear out and look cheap. I want quality leather that wears well, but I don't want to pay for a designer label. I'm hoping to pay no more than £200. To me, quality means the stitching holds up and the interior lining doesn't develop holes.

Where should I look in this price range?

I have a few specific things I seek:

*Roomy: big enough to hold an A10 pad (but probably not bigger).

*It has to at least have an extra strap to wear over the body (additional shorter straps for over the arm OK.)

*It has to have an exterior pocket or two.

*This is huge: it can't be divided into two symmetrical halves. Two compartments is great, but if it's not obvious at a glance that the sides are different, I will spend hours of my life looking in the wrong compartment for my keys.

*Black is ideal. I'll consider colours but never brown or tan.

Am I asking too much? I'd love some suggestions for where I can look within my price range... Any specific links to bags would be a bonus.

I bought a beautiful black Rowallan bag in Tk Maxx for £40 or £50. Can't remember the exact amount because I've had it a while. It still looks brand new!

A friend has this and I'm amazed by how lovely it is for the price
