Does this bag exist…

I love the style of crossbody bags such as this. However I have a toddler and therefore need to carry no end of crap. Has anyone seen a bag in a similar style (by necessity it'll need to be a bit larger) that has a billion compartments? Ideally it'd fit two water bottles, snacks, a spare outfit (for littlun) and general bag paraphernalia. No need for changing stuff as we have a separate folding thing for that.

Something like this? www.pacapod.com/collections/sale/products/oban-elephant

There are millions. What’s your budget? How style conscious do you want to be?

I don't know if I'm using strange search terms but I can't seem to find anything online. Quite style-conscious but at the same time as cheap as possible, maternity pay has not been kind to my wallet. I prefer neutral colours and don't want anything too bulky. In an ideal world I wouldn't carry a bag, but that's not an option at the moment!

Budget up to £40 I suppose, wondering if I can find something higher-end but in the sale.

I do like my Kipling bags for this kind of thing, they always hold so much more than you think would fit in them.

Love that @ZaraSizeMedium but it's probably a bit too small for the water bottles.

Meg & Bee have a larger bag of that type but it's £££s unfortunately and still might not be big enough.

I was also going to suggest Kipling, I know it's not exactly like what you asked for but the Gabbie is bigger and might suit your needs.

If you look through all the different colours on Amazon you'll see the price varies enormously. I have a few Kipling bags and I often just get whichever colour I like that is cheapest. Or google to see other suppliers - I've bought things from Dressinn, they're a Europe based supplier but they've been fine when I've bought stuff, even post Brexit.

I’ve bought bags from here and they have this although slightly over your budget

www.myexquisiteshop.com/products/leather-crossbody-bag-with-tassel-carina-larger-crossbody or Oliver Bonas might have something, they have nice bags. M&S often have a good choice of bags too around your budget.

Love the Meg and Bee bag @BarbaraofSeville but yes, much pricier! I love this sage green Lulu Guiness one too but I suppose by design they’re all quite small.
