Customer Reviews
This bag is so amazing. The quality is just phenomenal and holds so much. I'm a student and need to carry around my laptop, multiple note books and books and this bag fits it all. I am so happy I bought this bag.
This bag is the unicorn of bags. It is the perfect bag for a working mom, compulsive over packer who likes to be prepared for anything, and is always on the go. The attention to detail and convenient features are unmatched. Its got pockets for days inside, a zipper pocket on the front, luggage sleeve on the back, a padded laptop sleeve inside, zipper closure, and straps that can be configured in multiple different ways. I love the cute tassle zipper on the front, and the tassle keychain which attaches to a loop on the inside of the bag. Its perfect for keeping my keyfob, office key and airpods in an easy to access area in the bag. The vegan leather is supple and buttery soft. The gold hardware is gorgeous and gives it a super lux vibe, and the aqua lining is bright and fun. I was worried the full size gemini would be too big and awkward to carry around day to day, but its not. My only complaint is that the snap closure wont close with my laptop (a microsoft surface book 2 with protective case) because its more than 9” tall (screen is 15” diagonally, and the length is fine, but the width makes it just a little to tall to button the snap closure). Not a deal breaker at all because my laptop is still very secure! This bag is definitely an investment, but its one worth making. I looked at a lot of similar bags, Tumi, Bagalini, Jujube, etc. This bag has the attention to detail of Tumi bags at literally a fraction of the price. Its functional, professional, and fashion forward. Everything a mom and working professional could ever need from a bag. Also, I love that this is a boutique run by a total boss babe and mamma in TX, U.S.A.!!!!!
This was purchased as an alternative to a similar bag with a smaller tablet sleeve. I need the option of a sleeve accommodating a 15 inch laptop for travel. The laptop sleeve on the Gemini is generous & as expected my Microsoft surface slides in easily. The snap closure over the top is not long enough to utilize for a closed snug fit, but there is ample remaining width within the padded sleeve to add a notepad or file folder so it is not wasted space.
The interior space fit the battery charger, earbuds, mouse, TSA quart liquids, make-up bag and other small essentials like hairbrush, toothbrush, medication. This still permits the use of the outside zip pocket for passport, Kindle reader, pen. The outer side pockets are excellent for water bottles or other grab items during flight.
I first purchased the Aquilla Tote, then exchanged after deciding I was not willing to give up the ease of an outside zip pocket. The strap used to convert to use as a backpack is adequate length for summer or over a light jacket. If the plan is to use the bag in colder seasons over a heavier/bulkier jacket I would recommend purchasing the extended length strap. I will need to order one. I personally will never use the luggage strap as a zipped pocket, but it works as expected as a luggage strap, no problems there. The bag materials/zippers/hardware/packaging are durable. I liked that there was a silver option in the hardware. My wish is the computer sleeve snap was 1/8-1/4 inch longer & the bag was available in solid color nylon so it was a tad lighter/less stiff, but I anticipate it will relax with continued use.
The conversion option is wonderful. I prefer a tote option for style and convenience when traveling' the backpack is nice when navigating terminals & narrow airplanes.
Love the bag!! Perfect diaper bag for my two under two!
I got my tote in this week and have been using it everyday since. I love that I can fit my water bottle and ice coffee int the two cup holders. I can also bring home files from the office, a book for the commuter train and other necessities and still have room. I love the backpack feature. So far I am beyond impressed and am loving this bag for commuting to work. I do wish they had another option instead of gold and the logo is pretty large. Not a deal breaker though.
