There is a gear-guide article that sounds like it fits your needs in the
Sept. issue of practical photography, under "city chic" gearguide for urban
bags. They cover just what you are describing - and include a number of
unusual bags - manufacturers in parentheses: CCS Heritage Tudor (Fotolynx),
Crumpler Home Stayer (intro 2020)- this one and the CCS look pefect for you
- , Billinham Hadley (Billngham)l, CCS Heritage York (Fotolynx). Also the
Tamrac Velocity and Tenba Venture - those you can find more easily.
Prices range from $50.00-$150.00 . E-mail me if you need more specific
contact info - it's in the article.
