The never ending search for a practical, yet stylish office bag...

I have tried backpacks but am keen to return to a tote bag as I personally find it more practical.
I need something that is big enough to carry: medium sized laptop, notebook, coffee flask, lunchbox and other bits (like phone, small makeup bag, keys, wallet).
I am very tempted to purchase a classic Longchamp LePliage - I had one years ago, loved it and used it a lot. Size would be ideal and goes with everything... but I see so many of them I find it a bit "boring"... So will leave this as a last option.
Do you have anything to recommend? Please do not suggest Mia Tui as I really don't like those bags (I know they are popular on MN).

Budget-wise, I'd like to go up to £100.

Other requirements:

  • ideally not leather but more like a nylon or waterproof material
  • not too casual, not too smart
  • compartments would he handy

I have already checked Knomo, Sandqvist, Rains and a few more but nothing I fell in love with. Am I just asking too much of a work bag? 😅
