For this week's giveaway, I'm excited to be able to share one of my all time favorite Made in USA companies with one of our readers. Tom Bihn makes travel and work bags of the highest quality. They want a USA Love List reader to have two of their new Shop Bags to enjoy.
Only the Best
I first encountered Tom Bihn bags in the early days of USA Love List when they sent me one of their Cafe Bags to review. My husband and I both use their handy Travel Trays to keep our cords corralled on our desks, ready to scoop and and go when needed. He and I fight over the use of my Buzz sling bag which has since been retired. We'll treasure it forever.
The Tom Bihn Shop Bag
When I heard that Tom Bihn had created reusable shopping bags made in the USA, I was not immediately interested… I had a million floating around my car and house. But I should have known that a Tom Bihn shopping bag would be a different breed, designed with care and created with attention to detail. The Tom Bihn Shop Bag is as lightweight as all of those other bags, but the similarity ends there. It has piping that provides the shape and structure of a large paper grocery bag (but way, way stronger). It has comfortable padded handles that are a length designed to be carried over your shoulder or in your hand. It has two tall interior pockets designed to hold wine bottles or big water bottles. It even easily folds inside of itself. If you click through the link above, you can watch a little demonstration video that will give you a great sense of what I'm talking about.
Get to know Tom Bihn
Tom Bihn has a fantastic YouTube channel with all kinds of interesting videos giving us a rare behind the scenes glimpse at the design, the materials, and the Seattle factory where every bag is made. We just love their About Us page that talks all about the manufacturing process for their products and shows the smiling face of every single person involved in the organization. Watch this video to get to know founder and designer Tom Bihn and to see his team at work.

I would love the Wasabi ones for the farmers market this summer.
I like that these bags are made in the USA and I love the Wasabi grocery bag and the steel one, they are pretty and would definitely be great for carrying to the store and eliminating those horrible paper or plastic bags. Thank you for sharing this review.
I believe that we would love the green Wasabi one for our weekly produce trips and these bags from Tom Bihn are beautiful thank you for sharing the review
You had me at Made in the USA, but the bags really are truly awesome. I love all the extra little conveniences. I like the green and ultra violet because they stand out. You want people to know you are being a good patron of the earth and when people comment, as they surely will, it gives you a chance to promote the fact that the bags are USA made.
This is a “win win” kind of company. It would be great to be able to use their products to promote conservation. Less “throw away” is always a plus!
I like the ultraviolet one as well….super Made in USA!!!! Thanks!
I would like to win a pair of Tom Bihn Shop Bags so that I can reduce the amount of plastic bags that I use at the grocery store and so that I’ll have a dependable bag that I can use to carry many different things.
I like the Nordic the best….love Made in USA!!!!
My fave is the Ultraviolet
