Here's something cheaper;

Looks are a matter of taste, but I think it's nice. I prefer more fabric material than leather, mainly because of our climate. At that price, I doubt it's "Japanese designer" made though. AliExpress is famous for imitation goods after all.

Or maybe this;

As you know, bags that are specially made for cameras tend to prioritize functionality and protection over looks. A great example is LowePro. They offer great protection for mountain climbers and jungle photographers, but the designs are almost always plain black - same as the Thule you featured.

All these "specialty protection" brands are expensive though. Your Thule is about USD$100 on Amazon. Brands like LowePro or Domke are even more expensive. You sure you want to spend that much money? I shall call you Rosmah from now onwards.

You can try Crumpler. They make camera bags - the type with special padded compartments for separate camera body and lenses - as well as regular messenger bags with small camera compartments. Some of their collections come in multiple colours. Another personal recommendation would be the Porter Yoshida line from Head Porter (this link is not their official Japan store, but the goods are authentic and the prices are listed, so easier for you to cross reference). I have bags from both these brands and can vouch for their quality. Style is a matter of your own opinion. Hope this helps.

No idea. I live in Singapore and am not really that familiar with K.L.

Crumpler sometimes can be found in camera stores or IT malls. That's the pattern here in SG. Google pointed to this Crumpler Malaysia Facebook page. You should be able to find store addresses there.

Head Porter, I have no idea. I know there was one store in KLCC many years ago that sold them, but the pricing was ridiculous. Searching google, I found this site called iMyBags.com but dunno whether it's genuine or not. I think SoleWhat in The Gardens and Juice KL also used to have a lot of these types of Japanese street brands. Their website doesn't list all the goods available, but maybe you can try calling/mailing them. If you have a particular model you want, they can probably order for you, but I'm not sure how high their mark-up will be. Their blog shows they did stock the brand some years ago.

Why not just search Amazon or eBay? Search for "Waist Bag" or "Waist Pouch" and just scroll. I saw some nice ones (imho) on Amazon for under US$30. Look for brands like Zenness or Kattee.

Another trick is to save pictures of bags you like, and then use Google Image Search. You sometimes can get hits linking to the exact same design at Alibaba/Aliexpress or eBay for imitation versions at super cheap prices.

.....and I just wasted my off-day finding bags for you. Gonna sleep. Working tonight.
