Please help me find a work bag

I commute long distance and so bag must be

• lightweight, and wearble over the shoulder.

*needs to fit in a4 sized books so I can take something to read on the commute.

• lots of inner compartments to keep things organised, such as makeup, keys, wallet.

*it needs to have an outside compartment, a small zipped pocket or similar so can keep oyster and tickets handy without needing to scramble inside the bag at the ticket barriers.

Budget around £100, although the cheaper the better so I don't mind it being bashed around on a crowded tube.

Just to add, it must be zipped at the top to prevent things from spilling out.

She has a Sydney

I love Osprey for work bags!- Well worth checking out their sale www.ospreylondon.com/sale/women/the-collier-leather-shoulder-tote-black

This. Over budget but amazing quality, very comfortable, looks smart and stylish and very secure. Mine gets used daily, I'm really not great at looking after my bags and it still looks good as new. Will last you forever.
