What bag works as a travel carry-on and purse?

Someone told me about Longchamp’s Le Pliage, which seems like it could be dual purpose in this sense. My main beef with their design is the long handles (I prefer 8” strap drop), lack of interior pockets (it’s just one big compartment with one tiny pocket), and material that people say tears too easily, plus it seems a little pricey for a fabric bag. I really like that it can be folded up though.

Are there any good alternatives?

It needs to be big enough to hold a laptop, jacket, snacks, book, etc., so bigger than a lot of handbags. It also needs to be stylish enough to carry around cities, yet not stand out in developing countries.
