I purchased this bag for upcoming trips to the UK. I had planned to take my work laptop, my 12&quot; ipad, headphones, 24oz bottle, the wallet, the small bag, required medication and snacks. This was so <span class="jdgm--censored jdgm--censored-profanity">****</span> to carry (both with and without the convertable strap) that I had to take out a few things and carry a secondary bag, when I had hoped to have only carried one. Just a note to future purchases, think of what you are going to be carrying and how strong you are.

I absolutely love my new bag. My husband surprised me with it right before a trip to South Carolina. I loved how it fit EVERYTHING I needed for the flight - the best part was that it converted to a backpack which saved my shoulder at the airport and through my connecting flights. This is a super classy business bag too! I will be using this for my business travels as well as personal.

It&#39;s the perfect size for me. I just wish it had a zipper pocket inside.

I am a gifted teacher who travels to 5 different schools- this bag is perfect for holding all that I need to carry with me!

I absolutely love my bag! It holds everything I need, including my two large cups!

The combination of backpack to tote actually works well. I am petite but this large bag doesn’t look ridiculous on me. The organizational components of this bag are fantastic. Plus it feels well made and sturdy while being stylish.

I love the look and plenty of room for everything!

Beautiful bag! So spacious- exactly what I was looking for!

I have had this bag for almost 3 years. I store it in its dust bag and use it occasionally when on business travel to keep my laptop and headphones etc as my personal item on flights. I purchased the warranty with it. The past year the straps have been fraying and the outer panel of the straps have detached completely. Customer service will not repair or replace. There are better versatile bags out there for this price point that are more durable and not as <span class="jdgm--censored jdgm--censored-profanity">****</span> as this one (not lightweight and <span class="jdgm--censored jdgm--censored-profanity">****</span> as backpack).My Coach bags have lasted twice as long as this. I can only speculate that the straps must have vinyl in them by the way they’re falling apart.

I’ve wanted this bag for about 2 years. And finally bit the bullet, calling it a birthday present to myself. It’s taken about 3 weeks to get it here as I’m in the Uk and it turned up today. It’s stunning!! I was worried it might be too big but it’s really not. I was worried it might be <span class="jdgm--censored jdgm--censored-profanity">****</span> as I’d read online it was. But it’s not. Honestly, it’s AMAZING. I will be buying more from White Elm. Thank you so much! ❤️

The almond color is beautiful with the turquoise lining! The compartments are great for organizing all my travel stuff.

I’ll be honest— I bought this bag on a whim in the middle of the night and immediately regretted it. When I saw the receipt in my email in the morning, my stomach filled with dread. I even tried to a change or cancel my order, but was outside of the window to be able to do so. But when I got it in the mail a few days later? I was incredibly impressed by what I thought could have just been a cheaply-made money-grab that I fell victim to. The bag I received was wrapped carefully, incredibly well-made, and complete with soft satin-style lining that I i can confidently put my glasses into without a glasses case. It sits so comfortably on my shoulder with the long strap that came with it, it fits everything I need to take to work with me every day as a tattoo artist— my large iPad, my finance books, headphones, art supplies, self-care items like body sprays, gum, a spare toothbrush, AND all of my daily essentials like my wallet, band aids, hand sanitizer, car keys (on an easily-retrievable and SUPER cute keychain leash, no less!) and even a compact sewing kit among several other things. My 30oz tumblr cup fits perfectly in either of the outside pockets, handle and all. What I thought was going to be a costly mistake ended up being one of the best investments I’ve made for my professional convenience. I even feel more confident and put-together walking into work with all of my things in one spot as opposed to having filled pockets and an old, out-of-style book bag with me. I can’t wait to use this as my new go-to carryon item when I travel, too!

Amazing company. Super helpful when I was looking for a bag shop that fixes small tears. This bag is the perfect size for trips and work.

I absolutely love this bag. It fits all I need for my job at the library and a whole lot more. My favorite feature is the backpack strap making for easy hands free carrying.

This bag is perfect! I go from hospital to hospital for work and it holds my laptop, iPad, second screen and other needs!

Easily grip something that cause tearing the leather and show white inside

This is a really nice bag but it is bigger than the description says. It said it was 13” tall but is actually 15” tall (see photo). Too big for me.

This is a wonderful bag for the career woman or a Mom on the go. I have bought five for my girls, and they love them! Two are Mom’s and all of them have careers. The bag easily fits all their files, laptops and take home work. The bag can also easily accommodate all of their toddler and young child needs when they are on the go! A must-have bag for everyone!

I wasn’t sure if I’d like almond color based on pics posted on the website but I decided to give it a try. It turned out that my almond Gemini looks and feels better in person. The fabric is so soft and the stitching of the entire bag is superb. Now I have two regular sized Gemini bags and they’ve helped me so much with my busy life. Thank you, White Elm team.
