Full Description

Large Open-Top Main Compartment

The main compartment of the Original Large Shop Bag can fit a lot! It's perfect for your farmer's market haul, to-go lunch, books, or folded up clothing.

The inside of the Original Large Shop Bag has two deep, open-top pockets you can use for items like wine or water bottles. When not in use, you can fold the entire bag into one of these pockets (see video here) if you want to save space, or store it inside your larger bag until you need it.

There are 2 O-rings in the interior of the Shop Bag. On one of the O-rings is a Key Strap and the other is unoccupied so that you can clip on a pouch, if you want.

Piping on the Seams

We've piped the seams with the same stiff plastic material used on hat brims. This piping gives the Shop Bag just enough structure to stand up while you're filling it.

PORON® Foam-Padded Handles

In addition to its good looks and organization, you'll notice that the Original Large Shop Bag's PORON®-padded handles make it comfortable to carry, even when it's quite heavy. Designed to be an ideal length that will allow most people to carry the bag in their hand or wear it over their shoulder, these handles successfully prevent that awful hand-slicing or shoulder-tugging experience of lugging traditional non-padded fabric handles. The PORON® will never break down or wear thin, no matter how many trips you make to the store.

What's Included

8" Snaphook/Snaphook Key Strap

As with most of our bags, we've included a key strap. 8" long from tip-to-tip, a snaphook on either end. Good for attaching your keys to.

What's Optional

The Original Large Shop Bag is the perfect bag for adding your own modular organization or clipping accessories into the O-rings, if you want. We recommend taking a look at our collection of organizational bags.

    Best shopping bag ever - and much more

    When I discovered TB a few ago, I didn't really understand the fuss around these shopping bags, and I found them expensive for what it was (in Europe you get them for very cheap at any shops, and they last forever). However, I did buy one, one day and....I understood!

    Apart from the fact that the shopping bag looks gorgeous (if like me you love Halcyon - in any color) , it has for me 2 main qualities:

    - it has the right size, not too big and not too small for groceries. You can truly fit a lot in there, especially because you can open it so widely, BUT it also does not get too heavy, something which happens all the time with my regular shopping bags from my local supermarket (there are big, you fill them up, and they weight a ton),

    - the second huge advantage is that thanks to the padded handle the shopping bag is super comfy to carry.

    As a consequence, I use it for many other things: at the gym or swimming pool (in our ancient world), bring my stuff in the shower when camping, etc etc...Even as a big hand bag sometime.

    I have bought 4 so far (offered one to my mum), and wish I could buy another one in solaris or any other new halcyon color. A month ago for the first batch displayed, they went out of stock in no time :( So please please, continue producing them :)

    Fantastic bag....but not in cerylon

    I'm an absolute FANATIC of the original shopping bag, I had already 3 of them in Halcyon. I bought 2 additional ones in Cerylon thinking it would be kind of the same.... but it is not. The material is very different in the way it feels (less smooth?). As I live in Europe there was no way I could send them back, so if you are a big fan of halcyon like me, you may want to check if cerylon is for you or not.

    Cerylon fabric is not nearly as good

    I read that the Cerylon fabric is next of kin to Halcyon - cousin twice removed would be more accurate. It’s not even close to Halcyon. Unlike the switch from Dyneema to Halcyon, this is very noticeable. Cerylon looks and feels cheap. I love Tom Bihn bags for the quality, workmanship, and made in USA. I hold out hope that these great qualities will remain under the new ownership. Will hold out for Halcyon before ordering shop bags again. Please bring back Halcyon as an option for all the shop bags!

    Thanks so much for sharing this feedback- it's always helpful to hear this kind of thing. I'm sorry that the Cerylon isn't what you were hoping- I'll send you a separate email in follow up. -Mike

    Versatile, lightweight bag

    This bag has so many uses! Shopping, of course, but around the house I have used it to gather things together or carry from one place to another. I keep it handy because it has so many uses. Although it is lightweight, it is very strong!

    Great Everything Tote

    I love my large shop bag and use it constantly. It’s a nice large size without being too large. I can load it up with groceries and still lift it! The padded handles are especially nice when carrying those heavy loads. It’s also nice having the two side pockets inside — to tuck items (greeting cards, b-day candles, fruit, etc) you don’t want to get lost or crushed in a full main compartment. I chose the halcyon fabric which seems plenty strong and also allows it to fold nearly flat. I’m very happy with my large shop bag purchase!

Sewn in Seattle

Our bags are designed and sewn right here in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

That allows us to be control freaks in the best way possible; we have direct control and oversight of the quality of our materials, our products, and the jobs and working environment that we help create. It also offers us a unique spontaneity: when we have an idea for a new product or accessory, we can design it, figure out how to build it, add it to our website and be ready to ship it out our front door all within just a few weeks. How cool is that?

Intrigued? You can find out more about the unusual way we do business on our Company Philosophy page.

THE BIHN Guarantee

Everything you buy from us here at TOM BIHN is satisfaction guaranteed. We’ve been in business since 1972 and we stand behind what we make.

If something goes wrong and it's our fault, we'll fix it for free. Repairs due to normal wear and tear or due to other things that are not our fault will be performed, when possible, at a reasonable charge right here in our Seattle factory where your bag was made. Defects in materials or workmanship are uncommon and almost always evident while the product is still new. Keep in mind that bags and packs are often subject to extreme wear in everyday use: do not expect them to last forever. Only true love lasts forever! You can expect a TOM BIHN product to give years and years of hard service.
