TOM BIHN Large Snake Charmer

The ultimate on-your-back student or business organizer, the Brain Bag is our Slant-6 of backpacks: it will surprise you with its utility, versatility, and longevity. Long after lesser bags have frayed their seams, blown their zippers, and popped their straps, the Brain Bag will continue to be your faithful companion. The Brain Bag consists of two main compartments plus four external pockets. The small top pocket on the front is perfect for a wallet and cell phone and has an inside snaphook for keys.

Double Organizer Pouches add two extra pockets of organization to any bag. Front pocket is clear, and the back pocket is concealed. Using a small-but-tough plastic snaphook, Double Organizer Pouches attach to any of the O-rings inside our messenger bags, backpacks, briefcases, travel bags, laptop bags, and knitting bags. If you have another bag, that's ok — just don't use the little plastic snaphook on the pouch or break it off. Double Organizer Pouches zip with a #5 YKK coil zipper with a plastic slider, which is less likely to damage sensitive electronic gizmos.

An All-Fabric Organizer Cube in a just-right size. The 3D Organizer Cube is a one-compartment organizer cube. A simple and unobtrusive plastic hanging hook inside of the 3D Organizer Cube allows you to hang it on a towel rack, cabinet, wall hook or the like. A #5 YKK Racquet-coil zipper with two plastic sliders zips the 3D Organizer Cube. Two O-rings , on the left and right exterior sides of the Cube, allow you to clip a Key Strap to the Cube and attach it to the O-rings inside your larger TOM BIHN travel bag, messenger bag, briefcase, laptop bag, knitting bag, or backpack.

Think of our Cubelet as a relative of the 3D Organizer Cube . . . a close relative, as in adorable younger sibling . Clearly useful as an interior organizer (it nicely contains a laptop power brick), we’re also pretty certain some folks will also use it as an ultra-simple, über-tiny over-the-shoulder bag. Inside, it's as simple as it gets: no pockets or O-rings. Two exterior O-rings allow you to tether it inside your larger bag or pack, using one of our various colors and sizes of Key Straps .

Customize your zipper pulls with color or your own custom knot pulls. Most of our bags come with a packet (or two) of Cord Zipper Pulls (the Aeronaut 30 , Tri-Star , Brain Bag , and Synapse 25 among many others). There are three advantages a cord pull can offer over a metal pull: the cord pull can extend the range of a metal zipper, it can wrap around the zipper and mitigate the jingle of the metal pull (you won't get as much of that "I'm being followed by a golden retriever" sound with cord pulls) and it can make the zipper easier to grab and use.

An organizer's dream. The HLT (Handy Little Thing) is a clamshell pouch with four zippered pockets, plenty of interior elastic and webbing loops (to retain cords and tools), and some clever ways to carry it. You can clip it to your Synik or other bag, to the seat pocket on the airplane, or hook your hand and thumb through it and use it as a write-in notebook holder or work-out-of tool pouch. It can be worn as an impromptu waist pack, sling bag, or cross-body bag, and it’s available in two sizes: Size 1 ( Synik 22 ) and Size 2 ( Synik 30 ).

Made out of leftover fabrics, old and new, in all sorts of colors and materials. Like the Organizer Pouches and Grab Bags before them, this is an initiative to use scrap fabrics. Here's what you can expect with the Mystery Organizer Pouches: It's an clear-fronted flat organizer pouch in Mini or Small (your choice) with a #5 YKK zipper. Some things might match, but nothing is guaranteed to. If variety is the spice of life, these are spicy pouches. It's truly a mystery — we aren't offering a choice on which you get past size. Every pouch is a surprise!

A duffel gym bag with a timeless touch—the TOM BIHN Old School Carry-All is built to go anywhere. Back in the 90's, Tom designed The Classic Sport Bag in answer to customers' requests for a bag to take to the gym.Though it was well-loved by many customers, there was some legitimate feedback about the Sport Bag that Tom has taken to heart: specifically, folks wanted separate and substantial compartments to segregate and/or organize their stuff.

The Guide's Edition Synapse 25 takes all of the same clever features, bountiful organization, and top-shelf build of the original Synapse 25 and walks it all a bit further up into the mountains, a bit deeper into the woods. Rather than the all-too-common black zippers, hardware and webbing, the Guide's Edition Synapse 25 has gone terrestrial: it’s trimmed and lined in Coyote brown. The resulting aesthetic might be taken as an homage to another time; but to our sensibilities, bags trimmed in Coyote seem to be a little more at home in the great outdoors.
