Hello 👋🏽

I'm looking for a magic holds all my stuff bag-

Requirements-

Black
£50-120 max
Don't mind material
Zip top

Basically my kids no longer need the nappy bags etc but we offen do long errands out etc so as well as wallet keys etc if it can hold a water bottle tissues, wipes ?? But still look stylish (is this possible 😂😂)

I don't want a rucksack more a handbag or crossbody bag

I can't find it 😩

Any ideas do you have a bag like this that works??

I'd go for a longchamp size large, with an insert like this (loads on amazon, and lots of longchamps avaliable second hand on ebay). D.DUO Bag Insert Organizer, purse accessories, Suitable For Longchamp long handle tote organizer (Beige,L(LongHandle)) : Amazon.co.uk: Fashion

I really like the Bellroy Tokyo tote bag. Lots of inside pockets to organise stuff and comes in 2 sizes. Says it’s a laptop bag but I use mine as a standard tote.

@xmasdealhunter I never even thought of an insert that's such a good idea!!

@Iheartmysmart Iv never heard of that brand that bag is lovely!

Definitely longchamp - fits the brief perfectly.
I have a similar-ish Ally Cappellino tote which is also worth considering, k think it's a little more stylish but it's a bit over budget.

@slipperyeel ohh that's lovely but yes over budget 🫣
