Before Debenhams closed down in Ireland, I picked up a Mantaray backpack style handbag and I love it.
It has a small zipped pocket on the front and a larger main part to the bag (also zipped). It opens like a medicine bag (so the main opening is hinged but this is not necessarily a requirement for a replacement).
The bag has small carry handles and also two shoulder straps so it can be worn either over one or both shoulders like a backpack. It's like it's covered in an oilcloth type material, it's not leather.
I've noticed that the shoulder straps are cracking and I'd love to get a replacement bag.
My requirements are that the main part of the bag has to close with a zip. I'm very fussy about this and have put back lovely bags purely because they only close with a magnet or there is no secure closing method.
I'd like a backpack type bag of a similar size, but I can't find anything other than the usual rucksack style backpacks online.
Can you help me out by suggesting some options? My budget would be up to €150 (£130).
