The humble tumbler has undergone a quiet revolution. What used to be a purely functional vessel for carrying water has become a genuine lifestyle accessory, something people choose with as much care as their phone case or handbag. And honestly? We're entirely here for it.
A great tumbler with a straw transforms your daily hydration from a chore into a pleasure. The straw makes sipping effortless (studies consistently show people drink more water when using a straw), the insulation keeps drinks cold for hours, and the right colour makes your desk, car cupholder, or gym bag look significantly more put-together. Once yours is in heavy rotation, our walkthroughs on how to clean a tumbler and how to clean straw covers keep it looking fresh.
Here's our definitive guide to the best tumblers with straws available in the UK for 2026, all from the Belvia London collection. Topper-led shoppers should also browse our floral straw covers picks, the straw cover collection rotation piece and our straw covers for work shortlist.
What Makes a Great Tumbler?
Before we reveal our colour range, let's establish what separates an excellent tumbler from a mediocre one. Every Belvia London tumbler is built on the same foundation:
- 18/8 Stainless Steel: Food-grade, rust-resistant, and won't retain flavours between drinks. No metallic taste, ever.
- Double-Wall Vacuum Insulation: Keeps cold drinks cold for up to 12 hours and hot drinks warm for up to 6 hours. Your iced coffee stays iced through an entire work meeting.
- Reusable Straw: Every tumbler comes with a durable stainless steel straw included, no separate purchase needed.
- Ergonomic Handle: Comfortable to carry, fits in standard car cupholders, and provides a secure grip even with wet hands.
- Leak-Resistant Lid: A sliding closure mechanism that seals when not in use, reducing spill risk in bags and on desks.
All of this for £26. With free UK delivery over £25, a single tumbler ships free.
The Colour Range
White, The Clean Classic
White is the colour that goes with everything, which is precisely why it's our best-selling tumbler shade. It looks clean on a white desk, fresh against dark surfaces, and professional in any setting. The powder-coated finish resists fingerprints and provides a smooth, matte texture that feels premium in the hand.
If you're buying a tumbler as a gift and aren't sure of the recipient's colour preferences, white is always the right answer.
Cream, Soft & Warm
Slightly warmer than white, cream has that effortlessly chic quality that's hard to define but impossible to miss. It pairs beautifully with gold accessories, wooden desks, and warm-toned interiors. If "quiet luxury" had a tumbler colour, it would be cream.
Black, Bold & Timeless
For those who gravitate toward darker tones, the black tumbler is sleek, understated, and endlessly versatile. It hides stains better than lighter colours (a practical advantage for coffee drinkers), and the matte black finish gives it a distinctly modern edge.
Powder Blue, The 2026 Favourite
Powder blue is the breakout colour of 2026. Calming, fresh, and undeniably pretty, this shade has been flying off the shelves since January. It pairs wonderfully with our Baby Blue Floral phone case for a coordinated aesthetic that looks intentional without being matchy-matchy.
This is the tumbler that gets compliments at the gym, the office, and the school run. For workout-friendly picks, see our tumblers for gym hydration guide.
Rose, Feminine & Warm
A dusty rose that avoids being too pink or too beige. Rose is the colour for women who love femininity with subtlety, it's romantic without being saccharine, warm without being loud. It pairs beautifully with our Blush Pink phone case range and rose-gold jewellery.
Sage Green, The Nature Lover's Pick
Sage green has been a dominant interior design colour for years, and it's now crossed firmly into the accessories space. This muted, earthy green feels grounding and natural, like carrying a little piece of the countryside with you. It's particularly popular with women who favour an organic, botanical aesthetic. Read our full tumbler colours aesthetic guide for more on tone-pairing.
Cream & Grey, The Two-Tone Option
For those who can't choose between warm and cool, the Cream & Grey tumbler offers both. A cream body with grey accents creates a sophisticated two-tone effect that looks more expensive than it is. It's the tumbler equivalent of a well-cut blazer, effortlessly polished.
Lilac, Soft & Dreamy
Lilac continues its reign as one of the most requested colours across all fashion categories, and our lilac tumbler delivers on the demand. It's soft without being childish, purple without being dramatic, and pairs beautifully with our Lilac Star straw cover for a fully coordinated setup.
Tumbler Care Tips
Your tumbler will last for years with basic care:
- Hand wash preferred. While technically dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves the powder coating longer.
- Clean the straw weekly. Use a straw cleaning brush (included) to prevent buildup inside the straw.
- Avoid freezing. Don't put your tumbler in the freezer, the vacuum insulation does the cold-keeping for you.
- Dry the lid thoroughly. The sliding mechanism works best when kept dry and free of residue.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Belvia London tumblers keep drinks cold?
Our double-wall vacuum insulated tumblers keep cold drinks cold for up to 12 hours and hot drinks warm for up to 6 hours. The stainless steel construction and vacuum seal prevent heat transfer, so your iced water stays refreshing even on the hottest summer days.
Do the tumblers fit in car cupholders?
Yes. Despite the handle, our tumblers are designed to fit standard UK and European car cupholders. The base diameter is specifically calibrated for a snug fit that won't rattle during the drive.
Are the straws replaceable?
Each tumbler comes with a stainless steel straw included. If you need a replacement, standard 8mm stainless steel or silicone straws work perfectly. You can also top them with our adorable straw cover toppers (£4.99) for added hygiene and style.
Can I put hot drinks in the tumbler?
Absolutely. The stainless steel construction handles both hot and cold beverages. However, we'd recommend using the lid's sliding closure when drinking hot liquids through the straw opening, and always testing the temperature before sipping through the straw.
What's the capacity of each tumbler?
Each Belvia London tumbler holds approximately 40oz (1.2 litres), which is enough to meet roughly half your daily recommended water intake in a single fill. The generous capacity means fewer trips to the tap and more time being productive.
