Everyday bag

I'm looking for a bag I can use everyday. I currently have a crossbody Kipling but it's getting a bit tatty. I'd like something that can be used when I'm in jeans or leggings or for a casual day in the office (I have some nice bags for when I have to get dressed up a bit more!)

I don't carry much with me so it doesn't have to be big. Kids are 10&8 so I don't have loads of kid stuff to carry.

No rucksacks please!

Budget is around £100

Any recommendations please?

Thank you!

Leather? Structured or soft?

Just get the uniqlo bag, it's the best ever and you could get 5 for that budget!

It's really hard to find a leather bag for that price, unless you go with high street shops own brand.
The Fern crossbody at WhiteStuff looks nice, it has an outside pocket for phone, which is a must for me. It comes in a smaller version as well;

If you were happy with your Kipling one, why don't you get another one, but a different colour and style?

Not when it's raining it's not

It gets soaked through

Thank you for all of the recommendations!

I do like the Matt & Nat and Pom Pom London ones. There is another Kipling I like but just thought I'd spread my wings a bit!

I am a big fan of my leather Radley crossbody bag, it was more than £100 but quite big, and they have lots of lovely bags on sale at the moment for under £100.

Watching with interest, as my bag is beginning to look tatty, although not so keen on the cross-body, camera-type bags, as they remind me of my dog treat bag!
