Handbag with compartments

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'd like to buy my mum a handbag (black/brown) but her requirement is it needs a lot of compartments.

To give you an idea - she carries her insulin purse,wallet,hairbrush,glasses,sunglasses, a small hand towel,phone and car keys - but in separate compartments.

Budget is £200 and mum is 70 years old. Does a bag like what I'm describing exist?

Thank you all for your recommendations!

I'm going to give the Mia Tui a go - thank you @l@CMOTDibbler for the recco and @Cornflakelover your detailed description has been very helpful!

I'm also going to consider a second bag - the John Lewis one and Radley Ivydale. The white stuff bags are gorgeous as well. The only downside (for my mum) is that the three compartment bags usually have one zipped central compartment with 'open' compartments on other side whereas she'd prefer all compartments under one zip. But these are as close to what she would like and they look lovely.

I’ve had mine since lockdown and they still look as good as new for around 60 quid you can’t really go wrong

My Mia tui jenny has one big zip and all the compartments are inside the zip so nothing will fall out of its zipped up if that makes sense there is also a smallish outside pocket with a zip

I would recommend either the large travel Jenny ot the mini Jen - I have both in several colours black tan & silver 😂

there is also a large internal zip area as well as both side having 2 compartments and all the bags are are designed to slide over suitcase handles as well so easy to travel with

Honestly I have ( rather to many of them ) as my every day bags
They often have deals on as well ( check Facebook page where you buy a travel bundle of two bags )

The Maya rucksack is also really nice for holidays the small clutch style purses are cute as well as they also
have compartments in them 😂

oh and there customer service is fab as well

This has multiple compartments under one zip. But not your mum’s style! https://www.lululemon.co.uk/en-gb/p/city-essentials-bag-25l/prod11680344.html Lululemon bags are great and last a long time. Sweaty Betty will have similar functional bags too.
