Aim to wander, work unfettered.

The Nomad Tote is a great everyday work tote for the digital nomad.

  • Main compartment zips to keep all your gear dry
  • 13" x 9" device compartment that will hold most 13" laptops
  • Organizational slip pockets in the front pocket
  • Plenty of extra space and o-rings in the main compartment
  • Zippable luggage handle passthrough that converts to an open-topped pocket

Full Description

Main Compartment

The main compartment is slim but capacious enough for everything you need for a day out, whether you're at a co-working space, on the plane, at a coffee shop, or in your favorite brewery. It zips closed to keep the rain off your equipment while you're on the move.

Inside the main compartment you'll find an open-topped device pocket measuring 13" x 9" and made from spacer mesh (the same mesh as our Synik 30's laptop pocket).

Front Pocket

The front pocket features several smaller pockets, big enough for a pen or stylus, charge bank, or smart phone. It also has plenty of room to hold all the things you need quick access to: power cords, wallets, fobs, and snacks.

Zippable Luggage Handle Passthrough Pocket

The passthrough measures 13¾" / 350mm wide and features a zippered bottom so it can be converted to an open-topped pocket when not being used to secure your tote to a roller bag. Plenty big enough to put your laptop into if you just need to move a few feet and don't want to go through the motions of zipping and unzipping the bag, or if you want quick access to a notepad or eReader.

What's Included

One 8" Snaphook/Snaphook Key Strap

As with most of our bags, we've included a key strap. 8" long from tip-to-tip, a snaphook on either end. Good for attaching your keys to.

One 4-pack of Black Pulls Du Jour

A set of our new pulls come with your bag, great for adding a little extra length, leverage, and texture to the metal pulls.

What's Optional

Vertical Packing Cubelet

Vertical Packing Cubelets' vertical orientation work well in this bag to keep all your cables contained.

Size 2 Handy Little Thing

The HLT Size 2 is great for those who are hyper-organized. Put all your cables, syluses, and fobs all in one bag for quick-access and have a place for everything and everything in its place so you don't have to think about it while on the go.

Mystery Organizer Pouches

Take an adventure with our Mystery Organizer Pouches -- all sorts of fun combinations of colors and a size that is very useful for the small stuff that attaches to the o-rings in our bags for easy access.

Ghost Whale Organizer Pouches

An alternative to the Mystery Organizer Pouches, plenty of different sizes and choose your color for coordination and differentiation.

    Perfection

    Wasn't sure about the size and storage and it turns out to be the perfect bag for my laptop! I love my TB backpack and wasn't sure how much I might use this bag. But so far it's the in-town favorite as it holds everything I need and isn't heavy.

    Just what I wanted and needed!

    I have several TB bags, mostly larger. I wanted something smaller, and just a tad more professional looking, for a new job. This is so roomy, but also steamlined. My laptop fits great in its pocket, and there's room for everything I need in a workday, without my resorting to a large bag and looking like I've packed for a 3-day hike!

    It's good for me to have some limits on what I schlepp around all day- this gives me enough room, but also not too much. And it's comfy to carry!

    Trim and light

    This is a great lightweight and trim tote for travel, and it’s surprisingly spacious inside. All the pocket help keep you organized. Love the Ursa color - a sophisticated neutral that’s not black.

    Nice tote bag

    I really like this bag; the handles are a good length for my height (5’1”), and are not floppy.

    The padding, size, and sturdiness are nice. I use it to go to class, and it easily protects my clipboard, Bible, and pencil case while being roomy enough for my things but small enough that things don’t get lost. It is also flexible enough to shove under my chair.

    No complaints! Happy purchase!

    Love the roominess, love the style

    I got this bag as alternative to the backpack style bag I have been using (Paradigm). The Paradigm wasn't a good fit for my laptop (although it technically fits in there) and I was getting super tired of having to take the bag off completely to get at my keys.

    So the Nomad answers both those issues - I can fit my laptop and a book and a light sweater (and more) in there. And I can just swing it to the front to get at my keys.

    I got this in Constellation/Sakura (blue/pink) and I love the look of it. So cheerful!

    My only hassle with it so far is that the straps can be a little "slippy" - can be hard to keep up on my shoulder. It's not terrible, but it's not perfect, either. Not sure how you'd fix it, though - it may just be a general "feature" of tote bags shaped like this one.

Sewn in Seattle

Our bags are designed and sewn right here in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

That allows us to be control freaks in the best way possible; we have direct control and oversight of the quality of our materials, our products, and the jobs and working environment that we help create. It also offers us a unique spontaneity: when we have an idea for a new product or accessory, we can design it, figure out how to build it, add it to our website and be ready to ship it out our front door all within just a few weeks. How cool is that?

Intrigued? You can find out more about the unusual way we do business on our Company Philosophy page.

THE BIHN Guarantee

Everything you buy from us here at TOM BIHN is satisfaction guaranteed. We’ve been in business since 1972 and we stand behind what we make.

If something goes wrong and it's our fault, we'll fix it for free. Repairs due to normal wear and tear or due to other things that are not our fault will be performed, when possible, at a reasonable charge right here in our Seattle factory where your bag was made. Defects in materials or workmanship are uncommon and almost always evident while the product is still new. Keep in mind that bags and packs are often subject to extreme wear in everyday use: do not expect them to last forever. Only true love lasts forever! You can expect a TOM BIHN product to give years and years of hard service.
