Help me find a bag big enough for all my tricks?

I'm having no luck trying to find a bag with a large bottom. Can you suggest a bag for me?
I need a new bag for work. I have a version of this bag from a few years ago and it's been the perfect bag. But it's wearing out and I need a new one. I actually bought the linked bag but it's smaller than my old one and is no useful for my everyday work bag. I need a bag that is 9" wide across the bottom so that it fits my awesome lunch box I have searched high and low and can't find anything. Do you have a suggestion for a bag or where to look? I don't want to spend more than $150 and would prefer to keep it under $100. I live in Vancouver BC, but don't mind purchasing online.

Maybe a Fossil Keyper Tote? I don't have the tote, but love both my keyper bags in other styles.

Best answer: I'd take a look at Kinies if I were you. Several of their bags are quite large at the bottom, and they're well under $100. I've found them to be reasonably sturdy, although they're squarely on the casual side of things.

If you think about it, your bento box is the size of a small (but thick) laptop. So maybe look for laptop/ tote bags? Ebags has a few options that are at least 9 inches wide across. (Their search function also works well). For instance, the search for "extra large" hobos.

The L.L. Bean Boat and Tote in Extra Large is 17"H x 19"W x 10"D. It looks ginormous but your other bag looks pretty big, too. You can also get one with a zippered top. These hold up great -- I've used a medium-sized one as my daily schlepping bag for about four years now, and it's still in good condition.
