For once, I placed a Tom Bihn order and experienced little of the "anticipation syndrome." Probably, it's because of how fast the box came or because I just ordered more yarn sacks and organizer...

Such a great idea! I've been longing for the travel tray since it's debut, but wasn't sure how much use it would get. Now that I can justify buying one, all that remains is to pick a color!

Yes, the breve is an aeronaut that has backpack straps sized for Lilliputians.

The colors are: aeronauts in steel x2, navy & black, a sapphire (I think) smart alec, and a cocoa cafe bag. ...

It sure looked that way, especially once we opened our luggage. Either that or we sponsored Tom's next trip :) (By the way, Tom, my whole family recommends Greece.)

This is my mom right after we...

Thanks everyone. Looks like my dad will soon be joining the TB ranks.

I love my aeronaut (breve) and am always amazed at how much I can stuff into. So when my dad looked interested in it and said he was in the market for new soft-sided luggage, I thought I'd buy him...

What a wonderful welcome home gift. Thanks!

thanks, Darcy!

1. Any new color combos in the works for the small cafe bag? Particularly, any more in cocoa or steel?

2. Ever considered lining them them with Dyneema? (not cocoa, but others that would actually...

Hello favorite bag crafters.
I love my Tom Binh bags and, like others on this forum, greedily want more, despite having far more bags (yours & others) than one person can use or justify. Still, the...

Is it possible to alter these straps so they adjust to shorter lengths. I love the ultimate strap, but I'm 5'2" and the bag my aeronaut nearly drags on the ground...well, it's certainly below my...

Honestly, I didn't need to be bribed into saying the Tom Binh is not just the best bag maker, but the best company I know. That said, I am giddy with delight over the surprise I found in my mailbox...

I have had similar experiences with several of the Tom Binh staff. They are awesome. And, as you experienced, they made me feel like I was a VIP rather than just your average jane doe.
Even got a...

ditto

(didn't want you to think I was complaining about not getting a gift. only ltting the others know they aren't alone)

Maybe they use a random number generator--I haven't been a customer for as long but I think I've been a good one and this is the first I've heard about the gifts. Or maybe they think me greedy and...

How embarassing, I didn't get you anything.

love it. What needs to be updated?

how about using scraps as contrasting small inside pockets--I like having a little surprise in the bag. I bet some bags would probably look good with a contrasting pocket on the outside, too.
...

Pining away for a small cafe bag and am just wondering when we might expect to see the colors for the small cafe bag recombined again? I don't think new colors need to be offered, just new...

This msg is not meant to be argumentative, but is just to keep the ideas flowing for Tom & Darcy & the crew.

I agree with the argument about wasted space in a bag like the small cafe bag--the...

Not true, not true.
I want a shrunken cafe bag. Nothing more. Nothing less.

*cocoa / storm *
navy / storm
plum / navy
cocoa / black

old faves:
navy / cocoa (my tote is this color & i love it)
cocoa / steel
steel / sapphire
sapphire / olive

i thought horizontal so stuff wouldn't get lost, like it does in the small. But you're right, in the dimensions suggested, nothing except pennies could get lost. So I'm switching my vote to vertical.

I see your point, but I don't like the outside pocket to be zippered because I'm in and out of it more than any other and it hurts my hands to repeatedly brush up against zippers. (I know that must...
