Help! Searching for the Holy Grail of handbags...

Help! My work handbag has finally given up the ghost after years of faithful service. It was looking pretty tatty and I've been trying to find a replacement for sometime but now I have to!

I need to find an over the shoulder bag that will hold my laptop, bottle of water, A4 files, purse, phones, keys etc. so large and sturdy. I frequently travel for work so it also has to fit cabin dimensions and have a suitcase handle sleeve and a zip top for security. Ideally I don't want to spend more than £100. Has anyone seen anything recently that might fit the bill?

I know it's over budget but what about this? I saw someone at the airport recently with one and it looked very smart

Alternatively there is is:

or this:

Thanks @MinesaPinot... the everyday bag is amazing but a bit too far over budget. The Amsterdam bag might be in the top spot for now (the Kipling's a bit casual as I frequently attend meetings in London city too so need it to work for there too!).

I'm other suggestions too if anyone comes across anything else, thanks!

I was going to recommend Knomo, their bags are designed for exactly what you describe!

Had a quick look on Muji and Arket as they both have travel bag systems, but not sure they do the kind of thing you're after.

Longchamp Le Pliage ?

Longchamp Le pilage with a Hannah organiser.

I have a Longchamp Pliage but it doesn't stay on my cabin bag well and the handle on my previous one snapped as I carry so much weight in it when I'm travelling. That kind of style/size would be perfect, I just need more pockets and a trolley sleeve.
