Our Top 5 Travel Summer Destinations

Summer travel is all about making memories and arriving in style. Whether you’re escaping to the coast or heading abroad, your travel bag should match the elegance of your destination. We’ve rounded up five luxurious summer getaways and paired each one with a White Elm bag designed to elevate your journey, wherever it takes you.
1. Amalfi Coast, Italy
Sun-soaked cliffs, lemon groves, and endless coastal views make the Amalfi Coast a dream destination. With its steep staircases and charming cobblestone streets, you’ll want to stay hands-free as you explore.
The Gemini Mini Convertible Backpack is made for days like these. Wear it as a backpack while sightseeing, then switch to a tote for dinner on the piazza. Compact yet spacious, it holds your phone, sunglasses, water bottle, and even your laptop for the plane.
2. Seaside, Florida
Charming pastel cottages, sugar-white sand, and relaxed southern charm make Seaside a summer favorite. Whether you’re riding bikes down 30A or grabbing a bite from a food truck, comfort and casual elegance reign supreme.
The Carina Tote is the perfect match. Its soft structure and timeless design complement every outfit, whether you're heading to the beach or out to dinner. Roomy enough for your towel, sunscreen, and summer reads—this tote fits right in with Seaside’s effortless vibe.
3. Aspen, Colorado
Yes, Aspen in the summer is a well-kept secret. Think mountain hikes, cool alpine breezes, and luxury lodging. The vibe is upscale and relaxed—perfect for a breath of fresh air.
The Gemini Convertible Backpack rises to the occasion. With plenty of room for layers, a water bottle, and your camera, it’s made for both mountain trails and après-hike dinner. Bonus: it slides over your suitcase handle for easy airport navigation.
4. Santorini, Greece
White-washed villages, dramatic cliffs, and the most photogenic sunsets in the world—Santorini is calling. It’s all about packing light, looking polished, and keeping cool.
Enter the Aquila Tote. This structured, zip-top tote keeps everything in place as you hop from a winery tour to a sunset cruise. Sleek enough for the city but spacious enough for all-day adventures, it's the travel staple you didn’t know you needed.
5. Napa Valley, California
A long weekend in wine country is the perfect mix of indulgence and relaxation. Think rolling vineyards, spa days, and curated tastings.
The Darci Weekender Duffel is your go-to for a quick getaway. With its generous capacity and effortless style, it's designed to carry your wardrobe changes, makeup bag, and even an extra pair of shoes. It’s weekend luxury, packed and ready.
