Medium sized cross body/sling bag for every day use (not nylon)

Help please! I love my trusty Uniqlo half moon bag that was ubiquitous a few years ago. Perfect size as can just about fit either a water bottle or umbrella, along with keys, purse, phone etc. The
problem is if it rains, my belongings all get wet.

I’m looking for a slightly larger version in leather/faux leather that will work with a puffa coat on dog walks and out in restaurants etc with a leopard fur coat (styling examples, these are the only scenarios I leave the house)😂
Does such a thing exist?

I always need a bigger bag for winter, as seem to need more space for gloves/hat/brolley etc.

Where are all the medium sized handbags? I usually buy from Cos, All Saints & Other Stories etc
thanks 🙏 x

I love my Uniqlo bag too. They did a larger version in faux leather a couple of years ago and I have that too but I think they only stocked that version briefly.

I like both of these (they are leather rather than faux)

Ah thank you ladies.

I own the Cos sling bag already but find it can be too small for my kindle (apologies, I should have mentioned this).
I’ve never heard of Pom Pom London before. Love the website and think I might go for the Pom Pom London City Plus Bag Black, thanks

I have used waterproofing spray on my Uniqlo bag. You can buy it in Decathlon or other outdoor pursuits retailers. I wash the bag in the washing machine, then apply the spray to the outside while it's still damp. Tumble dry or iron dry.
