I have been searching for a bigger purse for a weeks. I was looking for a tote but was hesitant to give up my favorite style: crossbody (which I have had for years!). I came across this bag and loved the look immediately: it's beautiful! I kept debating whether or not I could get used to a larger bag. Finally, I decided to order it and give it a try.
This bag is the perfect size: it's bigger than my normal crossbody, but it's not too big that's it's difficult to get used to! It's so comfy to wear over the shoulder but the fact that I can wear this as a crossbody, too, is amazing! It is the best of both worlds! And it's still flattering, doesn't look bulky. The fabric is luxurious, the zipper closes so smoothly. I love how organized it is and functional it is. If I were to have designed my dream bag, this is it! I am so pleased with this purchased! Highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting it...do it, it's a great bag!

I’ve been using this bag for 2 weeks while traveling for work and I probably won’t use it again. This bag has a lot of nice and innovative features. The trolley sleeve is especially nice when traveling. However, I find the bag bulky & cheap feeling. And it doesn’t really hold a lot. The outside pockets are handy, but if you’re not using them, they occupy space as the bag does not expand into them. The lining is silky, but too much of it and occupying space. I love all the rings and the straps and the bag is comfortable to carry.

I LOVE this bag! It's perfect for work and grad school. Just big enough to carry everything without being overwhelming or too <span class="jdgm--censored jdgm--censored-profanity">****</span>. It was a little smaller than I anticipated, and I was completely okay with that. It's more in between a tote bag and a purse and can be used interchangeably both ways. Perfect bag!

I love the feel and look of the Caroline; however it’s tight opening makes it difficult to get in more than my iPad and note book. I was a bit disappointed in how little I can get in this bag for work compared to the backpacks.
Still love the layout; just wish it was a bit more open for additional items.

I love the size, style and structure of this purse! I get so many compliments on it and it has enough space and pockets to fit everything I need!

I love the size of this bag, it is my every day bag and fits quite a bit, as well as a water bottle on each side! I got the almond color with the turquoise interior and it is just gorgeous. I will buy another Carina this spring for sure :)

This bag is so functional and great looking! My bag just arrived, so I can’t speak to the durability of it, but the bag seems to be great quality and well thought out! I am so excited to use it for my upcoming travel! The almond is a perfect neutral color. The website doesn’t do it justice. This would be a great everyday bag for work as well! So glad I purchased it!

Love, love my new bag. Wanted something easy to use, this bag stores all I need for plane travel, and slides under the seat!

This has become my travel bag. It easily fits my tablet, e-reader, pen-and-paper planner, cell phone, charging cables, water bottle, sunglasses, earbuds, and a book or two, with room to spare. I love that the back slip pocket converts into a luggage sleeve. I don't like to carry around my laptop if I can avoid it, so I prefer the smaller Carina over the Gemini and the Aquila. I also have no need for a backpack, so I got this over the Gemini Mini. I really like how the Aqua lining contrasts to the Almond exterior, and finally, the keyring is a nice touch.

This is a great product at a great price! My wife is absolutely in love with her new bag and I’m pretty sure is now a White Elm customer for life!
