I’d been looking for a bag like this for MONTHS. I fantasized about a convertible backpack tote bag. On month four of ownership, the bag has surpassed all expectations. I am in love. Fits my Macbook Air and iPad Air and planner and mini Bible and two (or more) books and all my pens and my wallet and my inhaler and all the little things I like to have in my bag MORE than comfortably. Couldn’t be happier with it.

I have been saving for this bag. I usually impulse buy and I didn't this time, but I have absolutely obsessed over it! I was patient and this was an amazing reward! It is VERY nice!! The leather is so soft but so sturdy at the same time. The packaging was great, too. A heavy duty box, dust cover bag, tissue paper and foam protection over the zippers... 10/10 recommend!

I'm so mad at myself for not getting the bundle with this bag. After receiving the bag, I immediately wanted to order a mini bundle. The bag is beautiful and excellent quality. Fast shipping and gorgeous packaging.. *chef's kiss* The size, color, and style is just EVERYTHING. Will definitely order again...and again!

So far so good. Minor details that could be improved on (e.g., stray glue near zipper, no lining behind the wallet cart slots). The smell opening the box was terrible, but luckily airing things out helped. Beautiful packaging. I love having a complete set. The gemini bag is the perfect size and has been pretty versatile. The cream color is pretty neutral and i’m not picky enough to limit the use of the bag seasonally based on the lining color (which is a nice coral-ish shade).

I am OBSESSED with this bag! I am a teacher, so I carry a lot of things with me to-and-from school. I’ve been using a hiking backpack, but have been looking for something that doesn’t completely sacrifice style but keeps the functionality I need. Thank you Instagram Ads for showing me this bag! I bought the Sage Green Gemini bundled with the matching Ara crossbody/clutch, a pair of strap padding, and the Starla wallet. This bag looks and feels AMAZING! I am very impressed with how sturdy all of the straps are. I love that it comes with a tassel to attach to my keys and allows me to clip them to the bag (neat little spot for it on the inside but the clip fits on the outer hardware as well). Believe me when I tell you that I stuff this bag to the max. On any given day I usually stuff it with a 3inch binder, my laptop and charger, a few folders, a notebook, a pencil case, a full-size B&BW body spray, my glasses case, my earbuds, hand sanitizers, claw clips, a couple packs of gum, and the matching Ara crossbody/clutch that has stuff in it as well. That’s only in the main compartment! I love that the pocket in the back has a zipper on the bottom so it can slip over the handles of a suitcase for travel. Combine that with the option to wear the bag as an over-the-shoulder tote, crossbody tote, or backpack, other bags just can’t compete with the versatility of the Gemini! The side pockets/cup holders are a wonderful feature as well. I am a collector of the 24oz Starbucks cold cups, they fit just perfectly in these pockets. I usually take one of them along with a stainless steel water bottle with me to work. I feel more comfortable carrying this bag into store with me than my old hiking backpack. I refused to take that thing into stores with me for fear of what assumptions the employees might be making about me (I don’t want anybody to think I’m about to steal or cause harm). This situation is made even easier by having my Ara packed inside my Gemini, it gives me the freedom and ease of a small bag while also being able to take all of my belongings with me to school. Now I can easily take everything I need with me and have the ability to run errands or go out right after school without having to sacrifice style! My only complaint: I wish it was more than 6.5 inches in depth. I understand that extending that could make the bag too bulky for the majority of customers, so it’s a minor complaint. Overall, I’m thrilled with this bag and this brand! Side note: If you are like me and plan on stuffing this bag which makes it heavy, do yourself a solid and get yourself a pair of strap pads!

I purchased the Gemini bundle in black with aqua lining and silver hardware and it is classy, functional, and coordinated. The quality of the materials, the thoughtful design, and finishing touches set White Elm apart from the competition. Their customer service and packaging are immaculate. I also purchased two strap pads and the longer strap for the backpack option and they're perfect. A bag this exquisite deserves a name and so I've named her "Gemma" Gemini. Can't wait to see what styles and colors are released in the future. The only suggestion I have is to offer all bags in both the gold and silver hardware as I love some of the other color choices but, gold hardware is a deal breaker for me.

Get the bag! It’s well made, functional, and so beautiful. The purchasing process was easy and it was delivered very quickly.

I’ve used this bag for travel, and my every day work bag. It’s perfect for both. The compartments keep everything organized and the side pockets are big enough for my 30 ounce Stanley Tumbler (top handle). It’s comfortable to carry even when it’s fully packed and weighed down.

I was very pleased with the quality of material the bags are made of. All of the videos I've seen though of folks packing their bags made me think the storage space was larger than it actually is. However, with a bit of reorganizing I was able to pack everything I need into my bag. I absolutely love it so far. Highly recommend the Gemini convertible!

This bag has quickly become my favorite work and travel item. I love love love it!! Great workmanship and design!! The color combination is gorgeous.
