Back-to-school season looks a little different for everyone. Whether you're heading back to the classroom, juggling school drop-offs before your morning meeting, or navigating college life, one thing is certain: your bag needs to keep up. At White Elm, we design functional, stylish carryalls that help busy women stay organized through the chaos.
Teachers need a bag that does it all—and the Gemini Convertible Backpack in Taupe rises to the challenge. With 10 pockets, convertible straps, and a sleek silhouette that doesn’t bulk under pressure, it's the perfect classroom companion.
Inside the bag:
A 40oz tumbler (yes, it fits—with a handle!)
A to-go coffee (because one drink is never enough)
Packed lunch
A 17" laptop, safely tucked into the padded sleeve
A folder full of graded papers
A class book for next week's reading
Snacks for long afternoons
The Maia cosmetic clutch to hold pens and classroom essentials
The Starla wallet for quick grab-and-go moments
Designed for organization and ease, the Gemini keeps your teaching tools tidy so you can focus on shaping young minds—not digging through your bag.
Back-to-school isn’t just for students. Working moms are balancing meetings, matcha, and ballet rehearsals—and the Aquila Tote in Caramel is made to carry it all. With space for your work life and your mom life, it’s the multitasking tote backpack of your dreams.
Inside the bag:
A 40oz water bottle (without a handle—yes, it fits)
A 17" laptop and a Kindle (from work to reading at practices)
A matcha or coffee to keep the day going
A change of clothes for your daughter’s ballet class
Snacks and notebooks
A planner to track work projects and playdates
An Ara crossbody packed inside, for quick errands or lunch breaks
The Aquila’s built-in organization and sleek style mean you’ll never have to choose between looking polished and staying prepared.
For busy students dashing between lectures, study sessions, and late-night snacks, the Gemini Mini Convertible Backpack in Peony is the ultimate campus companion. Compact but mighty, it offers the same thoughtful design as the original Gemini—just scaled to fit your on-the-go lifestyle.
Inside the bag:
A 14" laptop
A 30oz tumbler and a soda (because caffeine is college currency)
A three-ring binder for class notes
The Vera wallet for campus essentials
Snacks for staying focused between classes
Lightweight, structured, and perfectly sized for college life, the Gemini Mini makes sure you’re prepared without being weighed down.
No matter what your “back to school” looks like, we’ve got a bag to match. From morning commutes to afternoon chaos, our bags are designed to help you feel pulled together—even when everything else is all over the place.
