Tote bag inspiration needed

[Maerchentante]

Hi all, I would like to get a new tote bag for work. Ideally, it should have a zipper compartment for phone/purse/etc., should take A4 sized papers, discreet branding is okay, but nothing too obvious.

I had had a look at this one: www.accessorize.com/uk/classic-tote-bag-4901450300.html?%2Fuk%2Fclassic-tote-bag-4901450300.html=undefined&quantity=1
Like the look, but the material feels a bit stiff and plastic-y.

Was recently gifted £300 so would be happy to spend up to that.

Please hit me with your suggestions. Thank you :)

I like these two

Thank you, might have a quick look in Peter Jones on the way home from work. Also did not know JL have 20% "off selected lines"

I'd have a look at Radley. Real leather, decent quality and within your budget.

Just a quick update, I had a look around John Lewis Oxford Street and Peter Jones on Saturday.

Walked out with this Coach bag - from now on referred to as "Well, it was 20% off".

It is a beautiful bag, exactly what I was looking for and should last me quite some time.

Lovely bag OP. Which colour did you go for?

Black, they only had two colours in store the black and Dove Grey. I'm so happy with this purchase :)

I love my Tory Burch Robinson tote. The Saffiano leather is durable and I can just wipe liquids away when I accidentally spill some coffee on the purse. It also looks very sleek and feel like I can easily dress it up or down.
