The New Ristretto Messenger

TOM BIHN Ristretto Messenger bag for the MacBook, MacBook Air laptops
Tom's second shot on the Ristretto is the upgrade for which you've all been waiting. The new Ristretto has the same basic form-factor as the first version - it's still a vertical way to carry a MacBook Air, 13" MacBook/Pro or similar sized computer.

Design changes include:
  • Main compartment is 3/8" (10mm) is thicker
  • Front pouch now has 1" (25mm) of depth
  • Organizer pockets are now in the front pouch instead of in the main compartment
  • Flap is now edged with contrasting black trim
  • Instead of adjustable toothed slides to attach the shoulder strap, the Ristretto now features the same steel eyelets as the Empire Builder and Aeronaut which allows the use of a wider variety of shoulder straps and allows the strap to pivot. A version of our Standard Shoulder Strap with metal d-rings is included with the Ristretto. For an additional $10, one can upgrade to the TerraGrip; for $15, the Q-AM (yes, with d-rings); and for $20, the Absolute.

    More pictures and information coming soon. The new Ristretto - available for pre-order now - will be in-stock and shipping by July 8th.

    In stock (at least for a little while): The Swift in Cork

    TOM BIHN Swift Bag in Cork

    The Swift in Cork is now in-stock and ships within one business day. If you plan on ordering a Swift in Cork, we'd recommend doing so soon: they go fast!

    "Perfect. Just perfect. I just received my pre-ordered Swift in Cork and - wow. It's bigger than I was expecting (which I like) and the swath of cork trimmed in black is beyond beautiful. It stands upright on its own and the handles are more than long enough to slip over my shoulder, even with a filled back. It is simply a stunning bag."
