Customer reviews of the Large Cafe Bag

"I have had my Tom Bihn Large Cafe bag for several months now, and I LOVE it! I have brought it everywhere- to the beach, the mountains, San Francisco, LA, and it has held up quite nicely! I also use this bag for school, and the inside compartments are perfect for everyday school items. I love how this bag is designed, and I definetely recommend it to any student who is tired of using a backpack! The color choices are also a great plus! A+++!" -- Allison, a highschool student in CA

"After reading the description, I was a little worried that it might be a tight fit for all the things I carry -- PDA, power adapter, check books, extra pens, papers, etc. But I'm very happy to say that all my gear fits in nicely. The front zipper pocket is generous, and the inside pockets for PDA, Pens, etc. are very usesful. I've never uesed a key loop before, but I can even see myself beginning to use that. The bag is well designed, well made, and very, very attractive. Unlike bags made specifically for computer use, it doesn't feel oversized and bulky. I'm very, very happy with my purchase." -- CVB
"I purchased a large cafe shoulder bag for myself. After bringing it everywhere and lugging it through the streets of Chicago, it shows absolutely no signs of wear--not even the bottom of the bag! It continues to be the just right, go everywhere size of bag, and more durable than almost anything else I've found. I used it every day as a student for books, also finding that it's great for the gym, the grocery store, as a carry-on, basically everything. It's been abused and continues to hold up wonderfully. Thank you for making such great products. I look forward to ordering from you again sometime soon." -- A.J.
"i have had this bag for almost an entire year now, and i can say with no doubts that it is the best bag i have ever owned. i went through three messenger bags in the year and a half before carefully deciding to spend the extra money on the café bag, and i am more than happy that i did. it has a perfect amount of space, and the magazine pocket really erased any doubts i had about it. (when i first bought it and was waiting on it, i didn't know that the 'zine pocket was there, so when it arrived, i was completely stoked.) i know the bags are not made to be waterproof, but i have survived two rainstorms with mine, and nothing got wet except the newspaper i was carrying in the magazine pocket.

this bag and the customer service that came with it are truly stellar, and i've been recommending my face off ever since i got it. ^_^" -- escapegoat
