Suggestions for day travel backpack with water bottle holder

[EatEverythingOnMyPlate]

I am looking for a stylish backpack for a long haul flight and then sightseeing, etc. Water bottle holder is a must. I would like to avoid black (I am always dressed in black) and bright colours, would love something cream, ecru/white, muted pink/mauve, light grey... I don't really want leather or PU.
For style, I like Sandqvist, Fjallraven. Ideally I would like something in the region of £100 but reduced to half price on the sale. There goes nothing! I have checked TK Maxx, Zalando, ASOS and Surfdome. Would really appreciate suggestions. Thanks!

Hello! Bump!

There are always plenty of backpack threads, if you look back.

A popular one always seems to be ROKA London - lots of colours and different designs

I have a ‘packable rucksack’ from Arket, it packs down so you can put it in your pocket when it’s empty. A light coloured bag is a good idea as you can see things inside it, rather than just rummaging blindly.

I have the Mia tui one which I like miatui.com/collections/maya-backpack/rucksack

Thank you but I cannot find any suggestions for one that has a water bottle holder and also I really don't want a leather or PU one.

OP where are you going? Water bottle holders are useless in the heat! Unless you want to make tea!

You said no to PU....which rules out the Mia tui one....but, it has an insulated bottle holder inside and 2 external bottle holders.

Two of the ROKA designs I mentioned previously, have water bottle holders and none are leather or PU.

If you have an insulated water bottle (Chilly’s or similar) then a water bottle pocket is very handy in the heat!

Try

• Stubble & Co
• Hoher
• Bellroy
• Herschel

If you like Sandqvist etc

Thank you everyone, I have checked all suggestions and I think I am going to go for Herschel Nova Mid-Volume, probably in light grey. They're not cheap are they?

As for the water, I suffer from kidney stones so I'll drink it even if it's gone warm!
