What if I need more room in backpack mode?

After 4 years of daily, my bag gave up the

After 4 years of daily use lugging my work laptop and entire life to the office, the backpack attachment on my bag finally gave up the ghost and I've never been so heartbroken! She was immediately replaced by her exact twin.

This is my everything bag

This is my everything bag. I can take all my things needed for work and not have a million bags. The backpack option makes life so much easier leaving the house hands free in the morning.

Amazing bag, Amazing Company!

I never thought I'd find the perfect work bag—until I did!

I'm a teacher and someone who has always "carried my life in my bag," so I naturally have a lot of stuff with me daily. This bag has tons of pockets for organizing everything, and has room to spare! Usually, my bags are a chaotic mess, but this one lets me carry all my essentials and still look polished.

Additionally, customer service went above and beyond for me—not once, but twice! I accidentally ordered the wrong color, immediately realized my mistake, and emailed to ask if it could be changed. They happily accommodated the request. Then, when my original order was lost in transit, they promptly sent out a replacement.

I couldn't recommend this bag or the company behind it more!

The bag is beautiful

The bag is beautiful. When I use the shoulder straps one of them slides off my shoulder every time. I’m hoping with a little wear that will fix the issue. I wish it was a little bigger for my computer.

Love Love Love!!

Absolutely the best purchase I have made in some time, this is a great bag and it carries it all! I bought it because I was double-fisting it walking into work. You know the type, backpack with 16” laptop, purse, coffee in one hand and a 40oz Stanley filled with water in the other. I am able to eliminate all of it and just use this beautiful bag! My laptop fits, crossbody, water & coffee (I still carry that in), plus I took it as my personal carry-on the plane, slid right under the seat without issue. I had to drive a lot on this trip, I took this bag everywhere with me & would grab my crossbody for my running inside. I’m looking forward to purchasing more White Elm products, absolutely beautiful product!!

Michael Kors, who??

No hate and no disrespect, I was a HUGE Michael Kors fan. But until I discovered White Elm!!! My mind quickly switch!

Took me MONTHS to convince myself to get the bag cause I was on the fence and kept researching other bags. But White Elm was the brand I kept coming back to.

I will also add Customer Service was extremely kind, friendly and quick to respond!!

This was my first order, the Camille Hobo and wallet was my 2nd.

As I’m continuing to add to my new found obsession. 💕

Perfect tote!

I travel a lot. Use my WOLFPac back pack but I wanted a tote I could also put my small purse in among other things that could easily slide under my airplane seat along with my back pack. I love all the pockets for organization, laptop, book, etc. and the side pockets for my 32oz that I travel with every where. This also works very well for me during travel for work. Great buy! I have the black too but I may also get more colors.

The new Go To Bag!

Absolutely love this bag. The Dusty Rose color and gold accents is beautiful. This Fits my work computer perfect. Along with notebooks, lunch, and my 40oz Stanley ! The carry straps are comfy on my shoulder and the vegan leather has such a soft and luxurious feel. Now I want another in a green!

Luxury without the price tag

This bag meets all of my expectations!! The color is beautiful. The softness of the leather is *chefs kiss*. If you want the look of luxury with paying for the luxury prices, this is your go to. I’m a teacher and there are so many teachers at my school who have this bag. I can’t believe I have been sleeping on this brand!

Lives up to the Hype!

My friend got this bag and was like, "it will change your work life" and she did not lie! Love the organization, well thought out pockets and structure and the covertabilty into backpack. The Plum color is gorgeous! Chose the blush lining with silver metal accents. Stunning! I feel fancy and can't wait for my school year to start! Very happy customer.

Gorgeous Plum

I waited and waited and asked and asked for Plum. I literally have every other color that was around since December. This was when I first discovered White Elm. My life has changed so much. It very much has elevated me! I ordered every plum item except the Carina. But I am giving the Gemini to my niece! But I think I need one too. What do you think? My last purchase I just unveiled…the Aquila and it is breathtaking. But sadly, no more White Elm for me until another color comes out…. I wonder what it will be?

Love This Bag!!!!

I am really picky about bags but this Gemini Convertible backpack tote has been a game changer! It arrived packaged in a cute dust bag. I have all of my work stuff in it for travel or the office AND it fits my 40 oz tumbler with handle. I love it so much that I want another one for personal use in a different color. Definitely telling other busy women on the go about this amazing bag.

One school year later….

This year is my first ever year as a teacher. I went from being a stay at home mom for 10+ years to teaching third grade. This past summer I was on the hunt for a bag that would fit all of my needs (at least what I thought I would need as I really didn’t have a solid idea). I also wanted something that wouldn’t have to be replaced every few months. Here we are with only three weeks left of school and I have used my Gemini every single school day. I put my laptop, books, pens, water, papers that I need to grade along with the teacher guides, gifts from students, extra clothes when I want to utilize our school walking trail after dismissal, and anything else I have ever needed it for. I have never not been able to fit what I needed. I have gotten countless compliments on my bag. I love love love the color. (I got camel with teal inside). My ONLY complaint (and this is not even a real one lol) is that it still looks brand spanking new, no scratches, no wear and tear, nothing at all, so if I wanted a different color to mix things up, I have no real logical reason or justification to buy one because the one I have and have used every day for a year looks like the day I took it out of it’s box. Buy this bag. It’s everything you want, I promise! These photos are of my bag right now. I am currently grading things so almost everything I put in it daily is not currently in it. This is just to show you it’s condition after major consistent use. Five stars is not enough.

Great Quality

Omg, I love this bag, first of all the quality is out of this world.
I have never had a silkier, smoother bag.
At first, I wasn't sure I like it because I never bought a Silver bag, but as I use it everyday the color just grew on me.
Its very Spacious and it fits any and everything that I want to carry.
