Recommend me a bag?

I'm looking for a wheeled holdall/duffle bag type case for my mother.
She's looking for a soft one, between 70-80l, with mesh separators inside so that the top and bottom can be packed individually (this bit is non-negotiable.) Sturdy enough to be thrown around and carried on top of jeeps etc, and needs a handle to pull it along. Ideally for under £100. The last one was Gelert which she really liked, but they're not making them any more.
One of the problems is that most online places only show a picture of the outside so it's not possible to see if there are the separators inside. Any ideas anyone - seen a few nice ones that are well out of my price range!

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

Kipling do some nice suitcases but they are pricy. I have one which has two compartments and you can get stuff out of each one without disturbing the other. I'll try and remember the name of it.
Edit - I think it's the Teagan.

Why do you think that? Surely travel luggage is a suitable topic for the Travel board (and there have been many other threads on here previously about various items of luggage, eg. Trunkies, cabin bags, etc.)?0 -

What a helpful suggestion!! Oh I do wish the 'rolls eyes' smiley hadn't been discontinued.
I think this is an ideal place to ask about luggage, where you'll find people who are frequent travellers.
I'd like to know the largest wheeled bag I can use on easyjet as a carry on. And before someone tells me I'm too lazy to Google easyjet dimensions: I'm asking for advice on what to buy and where.0 -
I am now using a wheeled cabin bag from Flylite - http://flylite.uk.com/
I initially came across this company from a previous recommendation on this forum.0 -

That's exactly the sort of advice I needed. Thank you so much.
I've an easyjet flight booked and as it's a busy time I didn't want to risk them putting my bag in the hold. Plus I need a small wheelie bag anyway.0
