Bag like the Marc Jacobs Tote but no branding

I'm searching for a roomy tote that stands up. A colleague has 'The Tote Bag' which meets my needs when it comes to size, style and function but I really don't like the obvious branding. I've seen knock off versions which still have a similar style of writing on and I'd prefer to avoid that.
So something that style but plain, but open to ideas - needs to freestand, be large enough for an iPad, notebooks, water bottle and other day to day things. Doesn't need to have a long strap, the short handles are all I need.
Has anyone seen a bag that might fit the bill?

but they have lots of different styles, zipped and non-zipped

Dh bought me this bag for Christmas, a very strange choice from him considering he’s known me for 20+ years and has never known me to wear anything with obnoxious branding on it 😂 it’s used only as my work bag, it’s a great size and sturdy and stands up, the zip feels secure and the bag overall feels very strong. But I only use it as a work bag because I drive door to door and I turn the branded bit to face me when I’m walking to my car and from the carpark into the office!!
Honestly it’s a fantastic bag except the stupid branding on the side, I’m not really looking to replace it because it does the job but I’ll still be checking out these links, you know, just in case…
