By now, you’ve probably read something in the news about record high inflation, or you have noticed that the prices on everyday items have gradually ticked up.

At TOM BIHN, we have not been immune to these changes. We have seen substantial increases in our raw material and transportation costs since the beginning of the pandemic. As a result, we will be implementing price increases accordingly so that we can continue to run our business at the highest standards.

As some of you may know, our entire crew of 60 — design, manufacturing, shipping, customer service, IT — is entirely based in Seattle. We source what we believe are the highest quality materials from global suppliers, put thought into our designs without compromise, and continue to push forward with environmental and social initiatives as a Certified B Corp. 

Due to various costs increasing over the last couple years since we last adjusted our prices, we have to implement a ~5% increase on most items. We understand this is a difficult time with high inflation everywhere and will delay the price increase until March 28, 2022 so that you may buy what you want at the current price. A list of the increases by bag is below. 

**Important notes** 

We wanted to make sure to offer the Yeoman Duffel for pre-order prior to the price increase. The Yeoman (along with the Le Petit Derrière) will be available for pre-order on 1/25. 

Same goes for the Swift, Little Swift, and the various accessories that pair nicely with those two bags. While the exact date of the pre-order is yet to be determined, we will be offering those bags at their current prices for pre-order prior to the increase. 

We delayed implementation of the increase in order to restock as many bags as many times as we reasonably could at their current prices. Here's a quick list of bags that will likely be restocked once again before the end of March: Synik 22 & 30, Techonaut 30 & 45, and Synapse 19 & Synapse 25.

The following price increases do not take into account any potential design updates. We listen to customer feedback and make changes as we deem necessary (i.e. upgrading to Edgeless Shoulder Straps for bags that could carry heavier loads or increasing the size of pockets to accommodate bigger iPhones). Future versions of existing designs may be subject to additional price changes.
