While I expected this vegan leatherbackpack to be wonderful, it actually exceeded my expectations. For starters, the plethora of compartments, the size of the laptop sleeve and the overall shape and feel of the bag is well worth the investment. I am an avid purchaser of Tumi backpacks. In full honesty, everything that I moved over fit in this bag with more room to spare. It's easy to find things that you need and separate them by necessity. I can fit my water bottle on one side of the bag and my tea canister on the other side. I have yet to use it as a backpack but I plan to do that next week. It's a great bag, all my family and friends ask me where I got it from and are considering making the purchase as well. I'll definitely buy it in more colors. It can get heavy but just prioritize what you need to put in the bag and buy the accessories for easy access and better organization.

If you're contemplating buying this bag, my advice is take the plunge and you won't regret it. I also bought the convertible crossbody clutch, the wallet, and the cosmetic bag. I get tons of compliments and I'm definitely looking forward to purchasing more products from white elm!

Lastly, but most importantly, the personalized letter from the owner was very sweet and much appreciated. Also, the bag came with signed delivery so every time they tried to deliver without me being home they left a note and came back each day to make sure they deliver the package and received a signature. Thanks a bunch and I fully support the business.

Good quality. My 16” laptop slid in the compartment easily. While I did get the strap on the laptop compartment to latch in place, it was a sight squeeze. Able to put my 1 1/2” binder and one book in and still be able to zip up. Love the side compartments for my phone and charger. Slightly heavy. Overall, glad I purchased it and look forward to buying the color I wanted, but was sold out at the time.

Finally found a bag that fits the ginormous school issued laptop, my water bottles, and looks great too! Love that it can be a backpack or a tote! The taupe is gorgeous and the new cream lining is a great improvement!

I am a nursing professor and a PhD student. I have so much to carry everyday. I want to look professional but has a bag that is still easy to carry. The vegan leather is so soft and the backpack design and luggage strap/pocket are ingenious. I have 12 hour days and it fit my 32 coffee mug with a handle and my 32oz water bottle and room for my laptop and books. I showed my nursing students yesterday and they all write down the name because it is a perfect bag for anyone. The handwritten than you was also a wonderful touch. Thank you for designing my dream bag and having an amazing company.

I absolutely love my Taupe all in exclusive Bag!! I never knew there was any such thing until I tried White Elm and I am very satisfied with my purchase. So satisfied that I turned right around and bought the clutch bag in cream for my daughter for her birthday! Thank you White Elm!
