    I have this bag but without the luggage sleeve. I too am a nurse and a planner girl, and have to have all my things. Of course, I don't use half of the stuff I carry to work! 🤣 I love this bag so much and took it on our flight to Chicago. Fits under the seat for sure. So fun fact, I thought hmmm... Maybe if I get the mini version(with the luggage sleeve)I can carry less stuff to work. Well guess what, all my stuff from the original fit in the mini. Lol! Get this bag. ❤️❤️❤️

    Woohoo! Just pre ordered this bag in taupe (my favorite color) for nursing school. Have been searching for the perfect laptop bag forevvvver so I don't have to have 3 purses (current situation) but the only ones I could find were either too big, a regular backpack, or too small. Thanks so much for the review!

    Hey there! I just happened to come across your video and it helped me get a bigger picture of what the Gemini can help me out with! I was curious to know if the bag lost its shape over time? I'm hoping that even with having it stuffed full and using ot every that it'll still sit on its own when empty..I have a lot of stuff to and I don't want something that I have to lean again after a month or two. Thank you for everything!

    Too bad their care is awful. This arrived looking like bottom bin garbage. For $195 this arrived looking old and misshapen. No inserts at all so the bottom section and corners are wrinkled in. The handles stick out when using it as a back pack. A person shouldn’t have to spend time and resources hoping the handles, and overall construct will straighten out. F.
