Looking for a recommendations for an everyday crossbody bag. I have small crossbody bags but now I’m looking for something bigger, where I can fit my water bottle (or two), maybe extra shirt for my kid, an umbrella.. you know, stuff you might need for example when spending the day in town. It can be older style too as I likely will be looking for preloved one. Thanks in advance!
 
Not sure why but first thing that popped into my mind is Prada monochrome bag. It's not huge but a decent size bag for everyday and comes in variety of colors whether you prefer neutral or a pop of color. Should be plenty choices available resale. Not sure about umbrella fitting but if not, I also have a Prada saffiano tote that I believe can be worn crossbody and even fits a small laptop. I like that the top is open on both of these so you can easily get things in and out. If you want something that zips, maybe the Givenchy Voyou crossbody bag. I was going to say maybe a YSL Niki or Loulou medium sized but I think those are more designed to be shoulder bags. AlsoIA better priced but quality choice could be the coach Rogue. Not too familiar with these but I got the year of the dragon version and feel like you can fit a good amount in this bag. It has a few different compartments compared to the pradas I suggested being a single compartment. A little hard to suggest when I don't really know your style or budget. Good luck!

If we’re talking Mulberry have you tried the regular Alexa? I use my mini all the time. Although it seems a faff with the front straps I never close these, and the bag is relatively secure with the postman lock and flap closed. Satchels are comfy crossbody but you have the top handle too, and I think the regular size is pretty roomy! You could also always get an older version on secondhand sites to give the style a go as the new version is very similar to the previous one.

Non Mulberry I’d consider the medium Loewe puzzle.
