As the holiday season is fast approaching, it’s time for our annual Holiday Debuts. This year, we’re bringing back some fan favorites and welcoming a new design to our lineup. Below is a list of everything that will be available to shop at 7am PST on Friday, November 28, 2025.
Marathon Messenger
We thought: Why only bring back old designs? So, behind the scenes, we’ve been hard at work stitching together something new…Enter the Marathon Messenger. Built for endurance — the Marathon Messenger is the kind of bag that goes the distance right alongside you. Whether you’re weaving through morning traffic, hopping on and off buses, or chasing the last bit of daylight to your favorite café, it keeps pace with every step. Think of the Marathon as an elevated messenger bag – classic flap and buckle design, padded bottom, stabilizer strap, padded laptop sleeve, and plenty of organization.
Founder’s Briefcase
Back from the archives, the Founder’s Briefcase is a compact, one-compartment briefcase with a handy clamshell opening. Designed by Tom, for Tom — this is his ultimate do-it-all briefcase. It’s tough, intuitive, designed for the most technically driven user, and here for the holidays. Its clamshell-style opening and padded laptop sleeve, designed to fit up to a 16” laptop or tablet, make it ready for just about anything.
Little Swift
The next bag returning is the Little Swift: our ultimate compact knitting tote, in brand new colorways! The Little Swift debuted back in 2010—five years after the Swift-–in collaboration with Knitty® Magazine. It's a great bag for all kinds of crafts, and many folks will find its clear pockets and stuff sack useful features in an everyday bag. Of course, a lot of folks use the Little Swift for other things–lunch bags, everyday totes, general craft bags...the world is your oyster. So, get your knitting needles and crochet hooks ready!
Tool Wrap
The Tool Wrap is back and better than ever. Retired in 2018, brought back for a brief time in August, and now back again for the holidays by popular demand. Designed for tools like knitting needles, crochet hooks, and brushes, just wrap, snap, and go.
Small Yarn Stuff Sack
For the first time in years, All-Fabric Small Yarn Stuff Sacks are finally back! Made from our ultratough and ultralight 200d Halcyon fabric, the Small Yarn Stuff Sacks will keep your yarn secure and away from any wandering kitty paws. An openable triangular yarn guide allows for easy feeding of yarn, making your knitting experience even smoother. Get ready for them in colors like Selkie and Kelpie for the first time!
Tom’s Firewood Carrier
Per Holiday Tradition, our Tom’s Firewood Carrier is back for the season!
Back in the mid-1970s, Tom made a firewood carrier for his father. It was nothing fancy or new, but it did the job – schlepping firewood from the woodshed to the hearth. 50 years later, Tom’s original sample style lives. Made of a heavy-duty #10 cotton canvas main body, the carrier is made to last. It’s stood the test of time thanks in part to its simplicity: it’s a simple wrap with no ends, so it can accommodate longer sticks of wood; not a tote bag, there are no zippers, there's no phone pockets, no overthinking.
Big Bantam
Back in October, we debuted the Big Bantam, and now it’s back just in time for the holidays. Think of it as the Bantam’s slightly bigger twin: same DNA, bigger ambitions. The Big Bantam is an evolution—a nod to the idea that a bag doesn’t always need to be tiny—sometimes it can be a little bigger.
Sometimes you want room for the extra snack, the camera, the book you probably won’t finish but can’t leave behind. The Big Bantam gets that. It’s for the people who appreciate the freedom of small, but aren’t afraid to admit that sometimes, they need a bit more wiggle room. Same spirit. More space. A couple more O-rings. And this time, in Periwinkle X-Pac.
Why don’t we have Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales at TOM BIHN?
As many of you may know, we believe in fair pricing year-round at TOM BIHN and don’t run sales, specials, or coupons. It can feel good to find a good deal, but sales can be deceiving in that prices were originally marked up so that they can be marked down. You’ll know that you’re always getting the best possible deal whenever you buy TOM BIHN products.
Thank you for your continued support. As always, we’re so grateful for you. Happy shopping!
If you make multiple orders between 7-9am on Friday, the 28th, we will automatically combine your orders. :)

I wish TOM BIHN would follow REI and others and go back to Cyber Monday so that the crew could have a four day weekend and a well deserved rest!
