Tom Bihn bags

TomBihn is a local messenger/laptop bag maker. Their Seattle factory store is hidden above the OR factory store on 1st in Seattle, a few blocks away from the Starbucks headquarters.

The bags are good quality, use good hardware, and strive for model-specific laptop fit. Especially for newer Macs. It's worth a visit if you like their look or care about having a care tag with a hidden message in French.

I liked the clean look of Jack Spade bags more, but that's just me.

If you do end up stopping in there, check out the OR/Wild Roses factory store on the 1st floor. The clearance section is in the back and usually has lots of great deals.
