Classic shoulder bag upto £500

My Christmas gift request was a classic, or maybe slightly quirky shoulder bag. DP bought me a black Michael Kors bag for but it’s just not me.
We’re going to exchange it and I’m wondering what to go for.
Previously I’ve had a couple of Vivienne Westwood bags in the Derby print and also a couple of Longchamp pliage bags.
I need something with good Shoulder straps rather then hand held and to fit a lot of crap in (A4 documents, phone , chargers, purse, water etc)
I just don’t know what to go for . I was looking Coach, and also the Longchamp leather options.
Anyone have any gems they would suggest ?

I bought a bag from this company. Really interesting and worth a look:

silentgoods.com

They are set up by people who used to work in luxury goods (incl Hermes) and designed to be sustainable, and last a lifetime.

I absolutely love my bag. Had a problem with the strap and sent them a photo. One of them came to my door with a new bag (no charge) and took the old one away so they could study it to make sure the same issue didn’t happen again to other bags!

Oh wow, it's interesting that Silent Goods give a breakdown of costs like that.

Kate Spade?
Something like this:

Aspinal?
But probably more like £600 for a smallish tote.

Been eyeing up the Mulberry Abbey and other brands in that similar style. That particular one, the Abbey is lovely but you are right, a little too small.
Anyone know much about Ralph Lauren bags? Are they good quality?

I'm still looking at Bally...
