Oh man, if I had unlimited funds I’d go buy the steel/wasabi Ristretto for my new computer and the steel/ultraviolet Aeronaut for traveling. I need a new travel bag so badly! This is actually making me itch for one!

My favorite from their website is the Imago messenger bag.
I love the Swift knitting bag. Finding a bag that can fit my knitting supplies is a pain, and this one looks really well thought out for a working project!
I think the tri-star is my favorite. I’d love to have it for all the traveling I’ll be doing on sabbatical this next year.
(Also, you have Sunday August 10 as the close date for this; I assume you meant July 10.)

Ooh, this would be perfect for work travel. I love their shop bag too!

I “liked” them on Facebook! Such a good company.
I’m fascinated by all the packing cube options. I did a 4-H demonstration on how to properly pack a suitcase when I was nine and had I had access to Tom Bihn I think it would have been more of an infomercial.

I really like the Large Cafe Shoulder bag. Would be room for my laptop AND books, AND knitting!

Also love the packing cube backpack. What a great idea.
2nd entry. I’m thinking of getting a new Macbook Air so I think I’d go for the Ristretto for 13″ Macbook Air – probably in Steele and Wasabi (aka grellow), or maybe an Aeronaut to avoid bag check fees. :)
I like the Ego… though I would probably have to get the Super Ego to fit my laptop. Also, I love how the website has tons of pictures for each bag. I hate looking at bags online and not being able to see pictures of the insides.
I currently have the passport pouch and love it. I’ve got my eye on the Tri-Star!
I am coveting the medium cafe bag! Cute!
Also, loving the Imago bag. I need a new bag to carry my laptop to classes and I’m thinking that might be the one.

Liked them on Facebook! The tri-star looks amazing for an oft traveling grad student.
I LOVE both the Checkpoint Flyer (as someone who spends a decent amount of time traveling with a laptop, ohmygosh would it be useful) as well as the Empire Builder (my boyfriend hates his huge bulky briefcase he has to carry on the metro). Fingers Crossed!!
I would love the Shop Bag! It would be perfect for me because I’m constantly carrying groceries around the city and regular reusable bags dig into my shoulders.
These are great! I’m a sucker for lightweight, compact, organizational packing. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Just about everything on the website impresses me, but the one I have bookmarked to save up for is Tri-Star. The Western Flier would also be extremely handy.
In addition to the Tri-Star, which looks really useful, I’m liking the Brain Cell since we’re currently looking for a laptop case for my DH’s new MacBook Pro.
I really like the Imago in steel/cork/wasabi. There is also this desire to own nearly everything in the accessories department.
I liked Tom Bihn on facebook!
I have to say, I was really impressed with the buzz sling bag – I’m always on the lookout for a sling bag that actually can hold stuff and keep it organized and this looks gorgeous.

After looking through their website for the 300th time, I still really really want the Aeronaut in steel! My husband and I will be doing a lot of traveling within the next year, as well as moving from Madison, WI to Seattle next summer. We will definitely need a travel companion as awesome as the Aeronaut :)
The Tri-Star looks like the perfect bag for my travels in Europe. And I’m intrigued by the idea of packing cubes — might just have to try them out.
The Freudian Slip looks incredibly useful. As a knitter, I also might like that knitting sack!

Definitely like the Smart Alec also!

I am also pretty darned obsessed with the TriStar. I travel for work frequently, and I’ve been looking for a travel bag that would work better than the one I have now.

And, the absolute shoulder strap looks like a good idea.
Western Flyer looks practical and roomy but still carry-on size. Love.

I love the Zephyr messenger bag!
I am preparing for a trip to Europe later this year, and while I’ve got a backpack worked out, I’d love to have a passport carrier (RFID Blocking Passport Pouch) and some packing cubes. Also, I had no idea that my passport contained a chip with my info on it or that it was “a thing” to steal said info. So that was highly educational!
I “liked” them on FB … also I really love the idea of that Co-Pilot bag. I have been looking for a good weekender and I think that would fit the bill!

I’ve heard amazing things about the Absolute Shoulder Strap, including that they make heavy bags feel almost weightless. I wish I could try one out.

Gotta say I’m really intrigued by the Tri-Star!
Wow, these bags look fantastic! As a frequent traveler and a lover of well-designed bags with clever pockets, these are right up my alley. I liked them through my husband’s facebook (I am waiting to create an account until I am finished with my dissertation!) and checked out the website: I was won over by the review of the Tri-Star and would be so excited to own it! The Western Flyer looks awesome as well, especially with the option to slide over the handle of a wheeled suitcase. I am also intrigued by the Ristretto for iPad and the Brain Bag backpack…
I really like that large cafe bag—a way to replace my endless series of shapeless and disorganized tote bags. I also enjoy the Ego (for those who find the superego just a bit too overbearing….)!

After searching the tom bihn website, I’m most in love with the Checkpoint bag, because I do a lot of long travelling with my two small children, and having to pull everything (including my laptop) out of my carry on leaves me distracted from my two very fast and sneaky charges!
Just liked TB on FB! Didn’t realize they had an actual store in Seattle – might need to swing by next time I’m in town!
As awesome as the Freudian Slip is, I’m totally crushing on the Field Journal Notebook. So useful!
Oo, I like the Imago in the steel, cork, and wasabi color scheme.
And I am liking the sound of the Ristretto bag, too.
I’ve had my eye on the Imago, but I’m waiting to see if they add new color combinations with the new fabrics they got this year. Also the Kit bag is too cute.

for back/posture reasons, i love the synapse backpack, and i’m enamored of those colorful, simple clear organizer pouches! so many organizing possibilities…

I am totally going to order the Lifefactory Glass Water Bottle – just have to pick a color. And I’m sure my boyfriend would love the Empire Builder laptop bag. Really, though, I want a Tri-star, so I’m glad that is the give-away.
“Liked” on facebook!
I would also love to have the Aeronaut in steel/ultraviolet!
My “like”-ing of Tom Bihn is now official, since it’s on Facebook (where everything official happens). ;)
I like the Tri-Star for short paper presentation/conference trips, but I am also pining for an Aeronaut for longer trips.
Bonus entry: how to carry the laptop is an endless struggle. The Checkpoint Flyer in indigo intrigues!
Thanks for hosting!
Liked on Facebook. This is such an awesome giveaway – thanks so much!
I “liked” Tom Bihn on Facebook.
I love the sound of their Co-Pilot bag; I could really use one of those on my upcoming trip!
I’m still a fan of the Aeronaut, and I feel like I got to know that product through this blog. I’d love to purchase one of those in the future.
I liked Tom Bihn on Facebook.
I’m a fan of the Western Flyer!
I like the Large Cafe Bag as well as Aeronaut.
I admit to having browsed the Tom Binh website many a-time before, having heard rave reviews of the quality of the material and design by the company. I so agonized between the Tri-Star and the Aeronaut (the extra space of the Aeronaut is almost always welcome…particular for shoes! But a duffel-loading top? more stuff = more weight? COULD NOT decide) that the decision was necessarily shelved so I could get on with life.
Today, the debate is renewed (oh! Academic Chic, how could you??). Happily, however, having owned another MLC for about a year now (a gift), I’m going to have to go with the Tri-Star for its compact, ingenious design…(and in that sexy forest green and violet combo, simply can’t go wrong!). So thank you, Academic Chic, for allowing me to settle this debate for once and for all.
(Jury’s still out on the packing cubes, though :P)
Liked on Facebook! Thanks for doing this.
I love the large cafe bag – that would be PERFECT for popping into my bike basket on campus!
Liked! I’ve seen other bags from this company reviewed on the One Bag, One World website, but it was great to see a female opinion on it for once!
Also, I like the ID in Black/Steel/Wasabi.
That bag looks so useful! I liked them on facebook, and am browsing through their site now.
Loved the Imago messenger bag in plum and olive. Perfect for school.
Visited Tom Bihn’s website and am totally digging The Swift in Cork. I don’t knit, but I can imagine multiple other little uses for that bag.
After looking, I think I like the Swift knitting bag the most, though the packing cubes also look great.
I like the co-pilot best!
Liked ‘em on Facebook!
liked it on facebook! i want one of these bags soooo much!!
I’m a knitter, so I’m particular to The Swift in Cork!

I’ve had my eye on the Aeronaunt ever since your excellent reviews but what I really need is a well-fitted backpack/messenger bag for my daily 10 mile (often cycled) commute to campus. Thinking about the Imago or ID.
I love the cafe bags!
Liked :)
Loved the “Ego” bag–not too big and not too small. I also loved the various products made with cork–how cool is that? The cork pouches are cute beautiful and functional. The steel products are pretty fab too.

I love my Aeronaut and large cafe bag, and spend too much time deciding what I need next! I’m thinking a Synapse, or I might turn a Western Flyer into my medical bag. I would love to have a Tri-Star for those trips that require less stuff!
I liked them!
I have also always envied the Aeronaut; I fly a ton, so it would be so useful! Never having to deal with checked luggage ever again……so tempting!
Being a knitter, I’m intrigued by “swift”
I’m really impressed by the Western Flyer. I am trying to learn to be a better and more efficient packer…somehow, I always take along too much!
I love the Cafe Bags as well as the Packing Cubes. I can never compartmentalize enough when I travel!
I quite like The Empire Builder as well as the Tri-Star. Partially for the name, partially for its functions.
Liked!
And I love the Imago! The cork detail is really nice.

I’m pretty in love with the Lifefactory glass water bottle and the Synapse.

And as for bags… I have had my eye on the Brain Bag backpack for just about forever. But there’s another side of me that is lusting over the Swift knitting bag. (If you knit, beware, I’ve sold a few by just alerting people to its existence… if you don’t have the budget for a $90 knitting bag, don’t even go looking for it!)
Oooh…really like the Aeronaut bag!!
I’m also liking the Imago… can’t tell, but maybe it’d make a good diaper bag?
Digging the flexibility of the western flyer. Love the colors too!
Liked on FB! :)
“Liked”! I am really loving this bag! This would be great for my weekend trips when I move to Europe! :)
So many bags to like, so little time. Thanks for sharing these great products and company.

I love the packing cubes, the cork fabric tote (I am Portuguese and love cork oaks and anything that has cork in it; it’s such an awesome sustainable resource!), and the tri-star. I feel a lot of cognitive dissonance over liking some item that is not really essential to my survival, that would leave a huge carbon foot-print behind if I ordered to the UK, and that I don’t really really need right now. But I can’t stop trying to find ways to justify purchasing some of the things I want…Makes me feel pretty silly actually. How weird to be a modern human in the “developed” world…
I like the Western Flyer.
I really like the Smart Alec bag (half because I am one!)

I think I’m most in love with the Aeronaut. Looks perfect for conference travel!
When I saw the first post on this bag, I loved it so much it immediately went on my “when I’m working again, I need this thing!” list. I’ve liked Tom Bihn on facebook.
“Liked” them on Facebook..
It’s so hard to choose one thing. I love the Smart Alec, and the Field Journal. I think that’s as far as I can narrow it down! :)
And now that I’m browsing the full site, I also LOVE the cafe shoulder bags, all sizes. That one might even go on my wish list for before the job happens. Such gorgeous bags!
I “liked” them!

I’m really liking the Ristretto for iPad!
I’m really liking the Smart Alec. It would go well with the Brain Cell I have from there…
Liked TB on Facebook. Can’t believe I hadn’t done that already.
Snapped up a Side Effect from their website. Should be a great little bag.
Looking at the webiste I found some ideas for my boyfriend for his conferences he goes to. Such as the Empire Builder, the ID, Packing Cube, Western Flyer, and the Aeronaut Maximum. It’s hard to decide!
Liked!
Thanks for sharing the love for Tom Bihn bags! I adore my Aeronaut (in grellow) and also covet the Cork Swift.

Well of course I ‘Liked’ Tom Bihn on Facebook! In fact, I don’t just like their products, I love them!
loving the field journal notebook and the medium cafe bag
I liked Tom Bihn on FB :)
I just “liked” TB!
After perusing the archives, I’m really intrigued by the field journal notebook. i can just imagine taking it hiking and stumbling across a flower or deer that needs to be sketched ^^
I would love a couple of the packing cubes- would be so great for travelling with my little one!
Love Tom Bihn bags! “Liked” them on FB but wish there was a love button!
Oh, and the items that I have my eye on are the Synapse backpack, the Horizontal Freudian slip, and the Kit bag. And of course this Tri-Star, as I do a fair amount of OUS travel for 2-4 day trips. Cool, cool, COOL!
What a fantastic giveaway! I liked Tom Bihn on Facebook :)
Checked out the TB website. Lots of things to covet but I can’t wait until the knitting needle case comes out!
Liked TB on Facebook.
I’m a knitter, so the Yarn Stuff Sack is right up my alley.
The Tom Bihn website is like the Sears toy catalog of days gone by: I could make a list as long as Santa’s beard about how many wonderful things I yearn for there. Two of my favorite things are the Imago, especially in the new Navy/Cork/Wasabi; and any bag in the new Cardinal ballistic. What a fabulous shade of red. Oh, and both the Swift and the Little Swift are good for a lot more than knitting.
Hmm, the checkpoint flyer or the co-pilot both look great!!
The Tri-Star is dreamy…
I’m actually most interested in the Tri-Star — I’m forever struggling to get everything in one bag, unless it’s not carry-on friendly.
I love the Small Cafe Shoulder Bag–in plum and wasabi, YUM! I might even buy it.
Liked! So pretty.
I Liked Tom Bihn on Facebook!
And though I don’t even have an iPad yet, I might have to get one so I have an excuse to buy the Ristretto in Olive/Cayenne. The Tri-Star is really the best, though – gorgeous and functional!
I am a huge fan of the Bihn products…I have an original Ristretto netbook bag that I have used many times to tote my iPad or use as a mini-messenger (it was ideal on my trip to France!). However I’d love a bigger messenger, like the Imago, or a large travel bag like the Aeronaut and some packing cubes. I love how you can wear it three ways!
Liked on Facebook!
Also, I’d go for the Aeronaut after reading your reviews of it. Most of my travel is done in Eastern Europe, and I’m always looking for bags that hold a lot yet are relatively easy to transport hither and yon.

love the aeronaut!
My favorite choice on the website is the Synapse backpack, mainly because of the Indigo color!
http://www.tombihn.com/Merchant2/images/synapse/synapseindigo1.jpg
The snake charmer has my name all over it. It reaches right into the cord-clutter-hating type-A part of my heart. I also might just be a little too excited about all the different sizes of packing cubes.

I love the Swift Knitting Bag in Olive/Plum.
This bag is actually by far my favourite at the moment, as it’s exactly what I was looking for a month or two ago. I settled for something less than perfect, and so would love to upgrade.
Thanks for featuring this give-away!
I would love to get an aeronaut…. someday.
“Liked” on Facebook. So glad I found out about this!
I’m already committed to the cubes, and now I’m covetting the horizontal Freudian slip and the colorful organizers!

And my product fascination is with something made of cork. I’d love to see how that works. I’m in need of a new carry-on bag, and I’m trying to decide between the Tri-Star and the Aeronaut. Winning a Tri-Star would answer that question…

i would definitely use the swift bag even though i m not a knitter!

I went to their site after your first post and ended up with a number of their products on my Amazon Wish List. The Tri-Star of course (in case I don’t win), but also the Ego Messenger Bag, the Organizer Wallet in Bamboo, and yes, a Freudian Slip. Packing cubes look cool, too. I’m a new Bihn Fan Girl!

For a separate entry: The Tri-star bag is the BEST one! but also I loved their beautiful “knitting bag” called little swift – so cute you could use it as a purse!
I’m loving the Aeronaut. I just got a job and moved across the country from my boyfriend, friends, and family–I forsee LOTS of flying in my future and this bag would be PERFECT!
I’ve been a Tom Bihn fan for about 6 months. I have the same ‘grellow” bag that was reviewed and love it!
I think I like the “Swift” Knitting Bag the best, in plum/black. That’s going on my wish list now!
For my next bag, I’m looking at the Navy/Cork Imago.

The Aeronaut looks amazing. Steel/ultraviolet for me!
The synapse backpack looks like a new favorite of mine for day trips in Southern California. The black and ultraviolet is a sexy color combination. :)
Liked on fbook!
Liked! The bag looks great!
I was at the Tom Bihn factory here in Seattle about two weeks ago. At the time I purchased the aeronaut, and was advised by Tom Bihn himself. It was very neat to have the designer hanging around the showroom, making conversation with the shoppers. As for now, I’m definitely eyeing all the travel organizers and accessories.
I “Like” Tom Bihn on FB, and IRL!
I am currently loving the Co-Pilot, and thinking it might work as a diaper bag.

Second comment: I’m obsessed with having many organizational pockets in bags (there are never enough!!) so I’m pretty excited about the Freudian Slip. Also intrigued by the field journal notebook – it’s definitely something to keep in mind for when I do fieldwork in a couple of years!
Totes liked Tom on facie :)
Oh my gosh — I am so NERDILY attracted to the Field Journal Notebook. I’m sick of lugging around my folder of home and study notes by hand — this is the perfect solution.
The Imago looks so useful for travel or everyday use.
“Liked”.
But I adore my aeronaut.
And I would love to have one of their knitting bags. The swift in cork would work great, though I’m not 100% sold on the cork.

Sadly, I’m one of the 10 people on the planet not on Facebook. Hoping I can get into the second drawing without the first. :)
As to which Tom Bihn product tickles my fancy, there are a few, but the one I keep coming back to is, surprisingly enough, a Tri-Star. I’m also oddly drawn to the Guardian lights.
I bike to and from work, so am most interested in the messenger bags. I like the Imago for its small size and versatility!

Wow, i just LOVE that Tri-star bag! I liked Tom Bihn on FB and also checked out the website. Though the Ristretto laptop bag would be nice to have, I’d love to carry that tri-star on my own research trips. Especially in cardinal (school color!).
I liked Tom Bihn on facebook…yay!
The Smart Alec seems fantastic for both carrying a laptop around, and possibly even a yoga mat or so. Inserting the vertical freudian slip, would make the bag even better!

Oh and (2nd entry): I found out about Tom Bihn on ProfHacker and have been very interested in their Cafe Bag (medium) and Imago. Now that I have an 11″ MacBook Air for my research/cafe writing, I may finally treat myself to one of them. (I always worry that my 15″ MB Pro would be too heavy for a daily shoulder bag.)

Tom Bihn is “liked” by me!
I liked him, I liked him! TOM BIHN’s facebook page has been officially liked by me. I am going to go lust after all those pockets in the photos of the bag. Pockets rock!
I browsed through the bags on their site and was tickled by the Ristretto for iPad style bag. I like that it looks tough but not bulky, if that makes sense. Looked like lots of room for those extras a person has to carry even when traveling light. :)

I have exactly the same quandary: how to pack for a short research trip in one carry-on bag…so I think the Tri-Star is my new favorite (after browsing the website), though my dream color combo is navy/solar. But I totally had a crush on Aeronaut after E reviewed it!

I checked out the webite, and by far my fav is the new Tri-Star. We’re a Tom Bihn household though. I have a Swift with the Yarn Stuff Sack (which I use daily) and DH has an Imago that he’s carried for at least 3 years that still looks as great as the day we bought it. Great company with great products. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome bag!

As someone who likes to knit, I was especially interested in the Tom Bihn selection of knitting bags. I think the Swift (or even the little Swift) would be the perfect thing to haul all my stuff to my knitting nights. Certainly would be better looking than the old tote I’m using these days.
Went on the site – I would pick the Checkpoint Flyer out. Such good design. Thanks for doing the giveaway…

Liked! Love these bags! Saving to buy one if I don’t win.
Went to the website–I love the Ristretto bag for 13″ MacBook air. Thanks for the giveaway–the bag is fantastic!
I really like the cork swift knitting bags!
After browsing the Tom Bihn website, I want a shop bag- or two or three- in Iberian or Ultraviolet. I’d definitely put them to good use. My current re-usable bags are getting worn.
Liked it and now will check out the website!
I Liked it on FB. Thanks!
i want one of each sized packing cubes!

Out of all probably Synapse backpack is my favourite, though it is difficult to choose only one. In fact I like all the ‘neuro’ names of their products! :)
Liked!
For my second entry: I really love the packing cubes. It’s such a great solution to both fitting all your stuff in and living out of a suitcase without having to rummage for things.

“Liked”! Love the blog!
I think I’m going to have to choose the packing cubes…but the Aeronaut bag looks pretty awesome too!
The packing cubes on the website would be so handy!
I’m into the field journal notebook – it would be so useful in my work!

And I love the packing cube shoulder bag.

Browsed the website too – like the Western Flyer and the Tri-Star. I’m getting to the point where I’m going to be traveling a great deal for business in the next few years (at least 6-8 times a year) so either bag would be perfect for my needs.
My organized self is all worked up. Definitely a big “like”!
I’m into the Swift Knitting Bag on the website–it looks like a sturdy bag that would last forever!

I am currently obsessed with empire builder. I am traveling very soon to NYC for research and it would be the perfect archive bag!

2nd entry. Love the Cafe Bag–just can’t decide which (small, medium, large)!

Here’s my second entry… I quite like the Empire Builder and the Tri-Star. The various packing cubes and organizer pouches make me happy, too.
FB liked!
After perusing the website, I actually like the Tri-Star best! So many wonderful pockets!
Liked on FB! Love Tom Bihn!
Love the Aeronaut bag, but I finally bought myself one, so that probably doesn’t count anymore! I’m also a knitter, so I love his knitting bags–they get awesome reviews for use for project storage.

I really like the tri-star and co-pilot. I totally should have placed my orders when it was less expensive!
Love the Little Swift tote bag.

The Super Ego is a really cool bag and would certainly help with my travels!

I love surfing at the Tom Bihn site because they have such great, silly names for things. Despite all their high-end stuff, I find their little accessories the most interesting. Don’t mock me, but I really need me a Color Key Strap or two. I have big need of little tether-y things to put in various bags so I can easily fish out my keys!
Liked Tom Bihn on Facebook!
The AERONAUT bag looks fab for this academic gal who will, coincidentally, be visiting Seattle next January for MLA–it would be fantastic to travel there with a Tom Bihn multi-compartment bag!
One quick question: the post says the drawing is open until August 10th, so the winner will be announced then?
I liked them on Facebook!
Hmm, the Tri-Star looks pretty perfect for travel, but I’m also looking for a long-commute bag (over an hour on the train into school for me), and I think the Empire Builder could be a good candidate. I wish they had images of people (both men and women) wearing the bags– then I could get a better sense of scale and placement on the body!
Liked. And I actually do! I’m a notoriously light packer (I refuse to take more than a backpack and a purse on ANY trip, so this bag would be perfect.
I really like the convertible carry-ons (Aeronaut, Tri-Star, and Western Flyer), but I like the size of the Tri-Star best, so I really hope I win!
I “liked” them on facebook!
… and I can’t stop drooling over the Aeronaut!
thumbs up on FB!
the swift in cork looks great!
Liked!
I love the Tri-Star in the steel/solar color combo! So many options….
Liked!
I have to go with the Western Flyer as my ultimate wish-item from Tom Bihn. I am in great need of a small carry on for quick conference trips, etc.
But I also really like the glass water bottles!
The tri-star gets my vote — I love great organization!
I like Tom Bihn!
I would get the tri-star! It looks like the perfect size for my upcoming trip to Seattle

I’ve needing a weekender bag. The Western Flyer would be perfect!
This bag looks awesome! Liked for sure!
The aeronaut carry on would be perfect for my upcoming trip to Norway! I love all the compartments, and the fact that it can be a duffel bag or a backpack. So convenient!
I like their “shop bag”!

The swift knitting bag is GREAT! I would love to carry my knitting projects around in it!
The large cafe bag looks perfect to replace my current decade-old messenger bag, and the aeronaut is looking really good when I think of the travel I have coming up. Thanks for the tip–these are all really well-designed bags!
I like Tom Binh on Facebook!
I like the backpack strap/handle convertibility of the tri-star and the western flyer. Very handy options.
Wow! I’m in love with the Tri-Star! I love the vertical computer bags, but they don’t seem to have one big enough for my 17-inch MacBook. But the Tri-star just seems so insanely versatile! I mean, that pocket for a coffee cup is just too clever!
LIKED*…what a great giveaway!

I’m loving the bright yellow shopping bag! :)

I also like Buzz – always a fan of the slingpack.
Love this bag! Great idea for a give away. I’ve liked it on facebook!
And for a second entry… I’m intrigued by the any/all of the Ristrettos – Perfect bags for taking my laptop, and a couple of small books and study things to the cafe.
My ID has been good to me for 4 or 5 years; perfect for a weekend trip, hauling groceries home, etc. Now that I have a tiny laptop, it’s too big for my daily needs, though, and not very stylish, either. Maybe a Cafe bag is in my future?
The organizing pouches and cubes are genius for any kind of travel–they make packing and unpacking much more organised, and when you’re backpacking, it’s so easy to find that thing you need at the bottom of your bag without disarranging everything else.
There’s a lot of thought put into these products, they’re incredibly functional, and the materials and construction are of high quality.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I had never heard of this brand until I read your post..now I’m obsessed. I really like the tri-star…and am hoping that I can convince the hubs we need one before our next trip, unless I win here! ;)
I liked Tom Bihn on Facebook!
My favorite thing on the site is the Medium Cafe Bag! :)
the tri-star tickles me!
and i liked the homie on fbook.
After the positive reviews it’s received here I’m all for the aeronaut bag and hope to own one someday. Of course, this Tri-Star looks super handy and I could use it for all the reasons E listed in her post!
The Checkpoint Flyer looks like it would make security checkpoints almost fun!

I like the Western Flyer

Second Entry: What I like the most. I’m in the market for a new carry-on bag, and I think the ID is perfect! The Freudian Slip is also really useful, and I might just have to upgrade my organisation when I travel!

i love the “swift” bag… especially the one in cork!

I’ve been coveting an Aeronaut since you posted about them awhile back. Now I want a Tri-Star. I could probably live with a Western Flyer if you twisted my arm. Oh, and I’d like all the proper cubes to go with!

In addition to the Tri-Star, I love their Cafe Bags!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Empire Builder laptop bag. The name is nothing like me, though- more like, the pack-rat builder. But I love all of the organizational space it has.
I learned about Tom Bihn from a knitting site. Couldn’t justify buying the Swift since I’m not quite a serious knitter, but got a medium Cafe Bag to use instead of a purse (I prefer cross-body bags and like that this one can carry a book and/or small knitting project too). It’s been in daily use for a few years and it would still look new if I hadn’t gotten a few tiny drops of varnish on it!
I daydream about travel with an Aeronaut, and would like another Cafe bag in a different color, and still want a Swift.
I love the snake charmer! It’s just what I need to keep all my cords and chargers safe and separated!
Thanks, Academichic, for introducing me to Tom Bihn! I liked the Facebook page and have had a great time browsing the website!
My favorite is the cafe bag!
Liked TB on FB! This bag is AWEsome!
Love the bag, and liked Tom Bihn on Fb too. I know someone for whom this bag would be perfect, and I hope with all my heart that I win so that I can present it to her on the occasion of her long-awaited graduation from her doctoral program.
I love TB’s, “The Swift,” in cork, for all those non-academic crafting adventures, but I die for the Tri-Star in the red/cardinal color.
I’ve been coveting the Aeronaut for a while now… :)
liked!! so wonderful!
Liked on facebook. You make the best bags.
“Liked” on FB- love that color combo!!
Liked!
And the Snake Charmer seems like an elegant case for my unattractive mess of cables and whatnot.
I wanted to say that I have always coveted the Aeronaut. It would be perfect for long trips abroad!
Liked. I’m absolutely in love with the bags and the Tri-Star would be ideal for uni. Especially next year when I’ll be spread across two campuses.
Ooo and now I also love the Synapse Backpack (in Conifer/Steel – loving the greens available from Tom Bihn). Such a great size for day trips and so many nifty features.
I liked Tom Bihn on Facebook!
I love the field journal notebook also, im a nerd for notebooks!

I liked the Brain Cell bag! I’m purchasing a $3,500 laptop in mid-August, it’s good to know there’s something out there to keep it well protected =)
I liked Tom Bihn of Facebook!!!

I browsed the Tom Bihn website and liked the Smart Alec the most. I love that it opens from the top and it seems the perfect solution for carrying books around school. In fact, I liked it so much I purchased it along with a vertical Brain Cell (which I absolutely loved!)!!
‘Liked’ it on Facebook. Would love it in real life!
Have been to the website now, and I still like the Tri-Star best. Between research and consultancy projects, I’ve been away for at least a week a month for the past year. This would make me feel a little better about being away from the kids so much, because at least their presents would come back in a bag that makes me purr!
btw, I absolutely love the new color on the Tri-star. The size of this bag is just perfect for short trips.
