I have an upcoming trip to Austria and I need to find a small bag to carry a few things (digital camera, sunscreen, et al) comfortably and (hopefully) with a bit of style.

I picked up this black heavy cotton ammo bag for a winter trip to Switzerland and it was just the right size. It worked well paired with a peacoat and boots and endured the snow and sleet but I don't find it suitable for warm weather and light (and light colored) clothing. I also think the black dye may transfer onto my clothing as it will be hot and I will be sweating.

I need something about the same size with some kind of carrying strap that will look (at least) decent with linen pants and polo shirts and the like.

I have a very limited budget for this, ~$50. I don't know if that makes anything leather completely out of the question. Carrying a bag like is difficult enough so anything purse or fanny-pack like is verboten. I would also like to avoid anything green, yellow (or to a lesser extent, black) if at all possible.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
