Recommendations For (Female) Teacher's Schoolbag/Holdall

[balliali]

Looking for a recommendation from all you knowledgeable lot for a decent bag for a female teacher of a busy and big senior primary class. Must be able to carry all the copies and resources, as well as the usual phone, ipad, lunch etc. Anyone found the perfect strong "carryall"? Open to shops, or online, Amazon etc. Happy to pay decent money for a bag that will last the year (or more hopefully). Travel to work by car, but need something sturdy (and hopefully even funky/pretty). Thanks everyone.

would a rucksack do?

prefer open top, purely for access and speed of finding stuff

Thank you for taking the time to search, looks lovely, and nice price.

This should take you straight to the bag section that bednobs recommended.

I have an Orla Kiely bag which has lasted for ever. When I was at work I wanted to be able to carry a laptop and papers as well as my personal items without having a separate case. Something similar to this should suit you although I appreciate you might not go with this particular colour! Sign up for the newsletter for 10% off.

I used and still have a big, soft leather brief case with numerous pockets. I used it for years and it has served me well. Do you want to buy it from me?

Thanks for your generous offer, but I prefer pretty over practical (we're kinda all young teachers), so would like a bit of bag envy. I have had previously had a hessian bag with my name on it (generous gift), it was a great workhorse, but want to look professional too. For anyone else following this post, here's a link to the type of bag I used previously https://www.bowiecreations.co.uk/products/personalised-teachers-jute-bag
