Looking for a new bag

Hi everyone, I am after a new bag preferably a cross over the body bag that I could use as a casual everyday bag. In the past I have got a bag like this from warehouse but havent been able to find one this year. Thanks.

    I really like Nica bags, they do a few cross-body styles that I've seen. Available at Debenhams, House of Fraser etc :)

    Would you look at somewhere like Animal? Last time I was in the shop (they do sell online IIRC) they had some really nice over the body bags, think one was pink and white and another was brown and there were other colours too. Think they were about 15-20 each but I know they might have a sale on now or soon?

    Check ebay, they have a lot of topshop ones on there that are cheap and really nice. Saying that I have one from New Look that's pretty nice too.

    Depends if you want smart or sporty. I just got a good big leather look one from New Look for £7 (half price). I like fat face for more sporty ones, they last long, look good and often have sales.

    I have a black jacket so something that goes with that, which I guess is most colours. I'm 27 so I dont want something that looks 2 young nor to old. Basically I just want a bag that when I am shopping I dont have to worry about carrying a handbag with me.

    Thanks to everyone for their ideas so far, I will check out the websites of the places you have mentioned.

    I would have to agree with geri1965 - Kipling are my favourite cross-body bags and both my daughters have loads too so that shows they suit all ages, lol.

    They aren't the cheapest, but they are washable, waterproof (so protect your mobile etc in a downpour) and have masses of little pockets for storage.

    They also sell Kipling on Amazon :)
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Next have several cross-body style bags in different colours in suede or fabric.
