Any advice?
I don't know if you found your stylish pannier. Here's mine. It's not too cheap since it's custom-made with fine leather and weather-resistant materials (what you see in black). It fits pretty much all the accessories you mention. The quality is excellent. You can PM me if you need more details.
Dimensions: 12" (length) x 5.5" (expanded width) x 17" (height)

Laptop and jacket inside the pannier - notice that inside the flap is all leather covered weather resistant materials on the outside.

Notice the quality work in the back. It's very easy to attach/dettach to the rack with the hooks. Adjustable straps increase the safety on the road.

When not in use, the pannier lies flat (less than an inch)
