Crossbody bag for long haul travel

Hi,
I need recommendations for a crossbody handbag with compartments for passports, currency, phone and iPad mini that still looks stylish and put together. I’m making a concerted effort this holiday to look vaguely glam and put together rather than feeling like the scruffiest person on the plane. Many Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm currently at in Singapore airport waiting for the flight home to UK.

The main choices most women have gone for seem to be longchamp bags that sit really nicely on top of the little wheeled suitcases or pretty backpacks. Possibly a bumbag thing for passports and purse as well.

For travel comfort and practicality are more important for bags - wear nice clothes and accessories and get a Kipling bag. So many compartments and easy to stash beneath your seat without worrying about a more expensive bag getting someone’s old chewing gum stuck to it!

Thanks, I’ll go check out those two options now.

I have a couple of these bags in different colours, lots of good compartments for travel. I bought mine from a local boutique though.

Don't wear anything that shouts designer especially if you're travelling to a relatively poor country as it shouts rob me.
