Does someone have seen something like this? I don't have much room in my top tube for a long top tube bag and I'm not super tall so I could stand right with a long top tube bag.

Looks like a recipe for thigh rub.
I think you will regret it
You could make a DIY bag out of sandpaper and use it to store chafing cream!

Potentially a top tube bag would be that shape and have fastenings that’d work BUT, I’ve attempted to carry tubes there and there’s something about that position that just gets in the way of your thighs… to not do so it’d be so thin as to not be that useful I think.
Yeah depending on your stand over height, I’d pass on having a bag in that location.
There are a lot of top tube bags which attach at the lower part of the seatpost, but since your legs connect at the seat (which is why the nose is narrow), there are no bags that go to the saddle.
You could just shove tubes or ramen noodles there with a strap. Try putting a small bag there with just crumpled up newspaper to maintain shape to see if it even bothers you.
I have this

These are the dreams MYOG is made of
I’ve never liked the back top tube bag.
I don’t know if I just have thick thighs but even the most minimal rub me.
Reverse any small top tube bag

A bag does work in that location. That’s my setup from last year for Unbound XL. I set the bike up with these bags a few years ago and it works really well. No thigh rubbing and it works with my dropper. It was made to be in that location:

I really like the revelate bag I have that fits in that location. Its pretty small but is perfect for my repair kit. I assume you could just tilt this one like you have shown but might as well just leave it the normal way.

As others have suggested, have it sit on the top tube instead of the seat tube

Alpkit rear fuel pod. I have one and it’s a very handy little bag
Definitely a snack pack would be a good option. I love Ovens Negra bags because of how colorful they can be

Fkn expensive for such a small bag (70€)… I’m still unsure if I should get one or not.
Like any non-bolt-on top tube bag? But as commented – you’re asking for thigh rub
Check out Stringbean Bags in Brevard, NC. He may be able to do a custom option.
I see, a baw bag!
i tried a Swift Moxie bag there, and removed it before the 10th mile. ymmvv
