A beautiful, practical swim bag... does it exist?

I swim a few times a week and have a very practical bag which has compartments and keeps my stuff dry. It's ugly though. And the zip has now broken so I need a new one.

Is there such a thing as a beautiful water resistant bag that I can take to the pool and store all my swim things in easily. Goggles/swim stuff/towels/toiletries etc.

I've had a google but can't find much that fits the brief so I'd be so grateful if any of the style gurus here could suggest something! (Budget up to £150)

Thank you!

Bag for life. £1! I'm not your target responder I fear. Look at the website wiggle for sporty ones. I don't think I've ever seen a stylish swim bag.

Red equipment do a waterproof tote which looks good (if you scroll down on the web page it shows inside view with pockets). Not sure if it is ‘beautiful’ though

I use a black Sweaty Betty gym bag. It has 3 largish compartments and one is waterproof for swim wear,flip flops, shampoo etc and towel . Middle section for phone etc and third section for deodorant and brush, make up etc
it’s nice looking bag but not sure if they still sell it as had it a few years !

My swim bag is so impractical but I have so much stuff that I can pile in what I need and wear what doesn’t fit in 😂
it was about £30 and not waterproof but does the job and I just thought it was really cute!
it’s this one https://adanola.com/products/branded-strap-tote-bag-cream-black?variant=55889004495221&country=GB&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=17626714788&utm_content=&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17426643527&gbraid=0AAAAAC6eq3NdIV724CS_JRzfA8kspAPZR&gclid=CjwKCAiAmp3LBhAkEiwAJM2JUNy2xt039BMNgMnlSGtDp557aUkBIVNikaH2nFKH9WAyzj6vSvxvQBoCH80QAvD_BwE but with green writing, it was out of stock for ages and then I spotted it back so got it - now they don’t seem to have it with the green at all anymore. Anyway, as I say, I don’t really recommend it but it packs a lot in and I mostly cold water swim outdoors, fingers go too numb for zips and compartments! Big opening at the top for the win 😂

I have a Lulu Guinness bag from waitrose.
I use it for my swimming bag, its a little on the large side but it fits all my stuff in.

I have a Kitbtix tote bag for swimming. Not sure it classes as beautiful but it’s waterproof with a couple of pockets. The solid base means it stands up on its own and it holds a lot of stuff!
