Sample Mini Wishlist

We’re kicking things off with the gold standard for an, “everything in its place” mindset. You’ll love this bag that gives you the ability to be hyper organized with easy access pockets inside and outside. It has a slipthrough for your luggage, plenty of space for your laptop, etc. and more. The design is slim and it weighs 2.3 lbs. But, it’s also expandable, which is helpful as I don’t see an external water bottle holder. The price and reviews are nice, too:)

Who’s been making luggage longer than Samsonite? This sleek backpack is only 1.3 lbs. and comes in three colors. There are lots of easy access pockets. There is a slider for your luggage and space for your laptop, etc. The side zipper is a great place for your metro card or your water bottle. Depending on the entry system, you might be able to put your card in the outside pocket and the sensor will pick it up without pulling it out. Obviously, it’s been years since I’ve needed to do this in Europe, so that may or may not work:) It’s also crazy affordable with great ratings.

One more option from Samsonite. It’s a pocket-palooza, so I couldn’t pass it up. It also has a slider, external water bottle holder, room for your laptop, etc. and the price is right. Full disclosure: it’s 2.73 lbs. Check it out for more images.

Away is a hip and beloved travel supply company. This backpack has a sleek design with the slider for your roller bag. There’s also a hidden pocket on the back for your passport or metro card and a holder on the outside for your umbrella or water bottle. It comes in an array of really great colors. Check out the video and photos for more. Full disclosure, It’s 2.8 lbs.

The lightest backpack of the bunch, this high quality Tumi is only 1.55 lbs. with an assortment of pockets inside and out. Like the others, it works for your laptop and more and has the slider for your roller bag. The external pockets are especially useful for easy access to your phone, passport, etc. and tossing items back in your bag at security.

And there you have it! You did such an impressive search in the first place, here are some new options and other brands that may speak to you. Can’t wait to hear how it all goes.
