At TOM BIHN, we've been designing and making thoughtful, quality backpacks and bags for everyday carry, travel, work, and more since 1972. All of us here at TOM BIHN — design, manufacturing, fulfillment, customer service, and marketing — work in the same 16,000-square-foot location in Seattle. We collaborate, problem-solve, and innovate in ways that are only made possible by sharing the same space. We think this results in a better bag for you, and it’s more fun for us too. Our creativity is what drives us — and we make space for it. Doing stuff like working on new designs, developing new materials, improving existing internal procedures, updating the website, taking new photos — we do it ourselves because A) we’re kinda control freaks and B) we love our work. We think experience counts. We've been designing and making bags for 50 years. That’s a whole lotta learning over many years about what works — and what doesn’t — when it comes to bag design and fabrication. We use that experience to make a bag that will better serve you.
