Affordable year 7 bag and all-black shoe suggestions

Hi,

My daughter is starting year 7 and I am absolutely useless when it comes to what's in fashion. I'm looking for bag suggestions as well as shoes, she can wear any footwear as long as its all black! I've seen a few tiktoks asking for suggestions but all the replies are Longchamp bags and Kicker shoes, but I have more than one uniform to buy and can't justify £130 on a bag!

thanks :)

Loafer brogue or ballet flat.
ballet flat the trendiest but the worst for feet and comforts
Asda have some
For a bag- older girls have a tote like bucket bag. I don’t think these are good for carrying books
also depends on her style as many year 7 girls still have a backpack. Again Asda have both in the school bag section.

Just plain and get one for school don’t be tempted with an adults one as they can look really silly with an old lady shopper or walking backpack!
