Something larger than a camera bag

I'm looking for quite a specific size / type of bag but I don't know if it is a proper style or whether it has a name.

I would like something boxy like a camera bag, but bigger. Still quite square, not as large as a laptop bag or a tote. More what I would call a mid size bag.

I like both of these (found on Asos) but the House of Holland bag is too trendy and would prefer the Bolongaro bag in black or grey.

Any ideas?

This from Rains is nice and deep, but not quite square enough - it is still camera bag shaped.

Looking for square satchel bag might help

Thank you! I do like the shape of that, but I think I'd prefer something with a one zip opening, about three inches thick/deep so you can stuff things (like a waterbottle or a thin jumper) in it.

I found this which might work? apparently it holds a laptop, although there are no dimensions listed

I really like this retro Lambretta messenger bag, but it isn't quite right.

Maybe I'm looking for a flight bag? except they often seem a bit small.

I found an extra-large camera bag on Etsy. Exactly the same shape, but about 30cm x 20. It’s perfect for me. I think someone linked to some similar ones on that expensive handbag thread the other day as well (although they weren’t mega expensive, maybe £150 ish)

theoldhasgone · 17/03/2023 12:46

Oooh, thank you! I will try to find that (although I didn't follow that thread)

If you happen to be able to share a link either to the bag you got or the recommendations on the thread, I'd be very grateful. PM if you'd rather. 💐

That’s not the exact one, but it’s very similar. Sorry, I would have posted a link at the time, but I’m on holiday with patchy wifi.

Or this was the one on the expensive thread- honeyandtoast.co.uk/collections/katie-camera-bag-1
