Full Description
Fun Fact: The Pop Tote made its world debut as the gift bag at the 2017 Kennedy Center Mark Twain Awards for Humor honoring David Letterman, but now anyone can buy one — you needn't be famous or funny. Thank goodness.
Zip-Top Main Compartment with Flat Bottom
The main compartment is sealed with a zipper, so you can be sure your contents will not spill out. Inside, the main compartment is unobstructed and open, accommodating anything you need to carry.
The main compartment has two O-rings, located on each interior end just under the zipper. On one of the O-rings is an included Key Strap.
The bottom of the Pop Tote is flat, so it can stand up on its own without tipping over. This is helpful when you need to place the bag on the floor at work or set it down for packing right before a trip.
Four Snaps
One of the main challenges we strived to solve with the Pop Tote is creating a tote that both seals shut with a zipper and has a wide opening. Here is where the four snaps at the top come into play:
Unzip the main compartment of the Pop Tote, snap the four snaps tight: the top edges are secured nicely out of the way so access to the main compartment is now unimpaired. In this mode, it'll serve as an open-top tote similar to our Original Shop Bags, Truck, Monster Truck, or Swift: a great utility/grocery/shopping bag. In fact, you might find you will use it this way most often. It's nice, too, if you need to fit a tall item in the bag that'll stick out the top, like a tennis racquet or baguette.
When the main compartment is zipped, it is up to you whether to leave the snaps snapped or unsnapped. Leaving them snapped will give the Pop Tote a nice concave shape at the top, when keeping them unsnapped will expand the capacity of the main compartment.
Two Open-Top Pockets
On each side of the main compartment is an open-top exterior pocket. A small umbrella, water bottle, or sunglasses can fit in them. Each pocket also includes one O-ring, from which you can tether a mini pouch or your keys.
Two Zippered Pockets
On the outside of each open-top pocket is a zippered pocket. They'll fit phones, wallets, keys, chocolate bars, and other small flat items. Each of these pockets also include one O-ring.
PORON® Foam-Padded Handles
The handles of the Pop Tote are padded with PORON® foam which makes it more comfortable to carry the bag by hand or over the shoulder.
What's Included
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.
A Set of Black Zipper Pulls
A set of pulls to extend or replace your metal pulls.
What's Optional
Since the Pop Tote has a large unobstructed main compartment, it's the perfect bag for adding your own modular organization, if you want. We recommend taking a look at our collection of organizational bags.

This tote gets plenty of use as a daily carry bag. What’s great is that it transforms into a short trip pack out tote bag— stuffed with essential gear.
Has open side pockets and zip side pockets that can help secure small items and a phone. Note— if the tote is over-stuffed the side pockets won’t hold bulk.
Another great TB bag! Have two Pop Totes - the Mars Red and the Saguaro.
Highly recommend.

I love how light the bag is and that it holds everything I need as a carry on bag. I also am using it as an everyday bag. I have a smaller bag in the tote for when I’m running errands. This bag holds my cell phone and my small wallet and earbuds. It’s not a Tom Bihn bag as it’s something I already own. My son saw my bag and admired the quality of the bag. He is familiar with Tom Bihn products.

This is my all-time favorite multipurpose tote. I own two of them. This bag can do it all! Perfect beach bag, picnic bag, personal item for plane travel, etc. The bag can fit a ton of items, but it’s still a great size to carry comfortably on the shoulder. I’m a one bag traveler & have even managed to use it as my one bag for weekend travel. It easily fits a packing cube of clothes, deluxe spiff kit & flip flops. One of my favorite bags that is in constant rotation!
