Your Photos Are Needed

[Guest]

What color is your SE? looks very pretty, and your forest (?) Swift, too.

my SE is Aubergine/Wasabi and the Swift is Forest(or was it a different green?)/Hemp

Long time lurker, first time poster. Hi everyone!

Here is my Synapse 25 and my 1st gen Ristretto on an evening stroll across the Brisbane River in Australia.

Big secret: the Ristretto was pre-loved. Yet it felt like I have owned it for a long time, as if everything that I needed to carry was meant to be stored elegantly in this seemingly small space.

Whitecastle, that's gorgeous! Beautiful light.

Travel Tray Love

I thought it was time for a family picture

Beautiful - what do you do with them all?

[gochicken]

My personal TT for travel is the UV one. I keep Iberian ones around for gifts... the Wasabi one is for that purpose. The Steel one is Mr. Gochicken's. The Solar, Nordic and Black ones I keep in a glass case with 24-hour monitoring, trained guards, and state of the art laser security system.

I just noticed that my (older) Wasabi, Solar, and UV TT all have the Portable Culture tag. :)

@linenchicken, Can you also add this picture of your travel trays to the Tom Bihn bags as art thread @dorayme started? It just seems so appropriate! And your layout echoes the motif set by her Little Swifts.

I have to confess that I don't have Travel Trays in every Dyneema color. So not having one in Wasabi, I can't use this as an impromptu lamp in the same way that @bchaplin did, in the Color my Travel Tray thread:



(Note: link to thread is in the Just for Registered users forum, which may not display if you're not logged in, which is why I've excerpted the picture of the travel tray illuminated by the Guardian light being used as a soft, nighttime bedside light.This thread was a poll of color preferences, but a few people got creative about explaining why they liked particular colors. And just FYI, there is also the older version of the Guardian light that you can carry on a lanyard instead of attaching to the webbing loop at the bottom of current model backpacks.)

My MCB in Linen/Navy just arrived :)

I was surprised at first - it is more khaki than I had expected. But after "trying it on", I love it. Perfect size for me!

Here are some pics:

Those are nice pictures! I agree, the MCB is a very nice size. Big enough for daily essentials but with room to spare for some shopping or a book or water bottle. I like seeing pictures of linen to get a sense of how it looks, as I don't have any linen items.

I actually like it - I'm not a fan of white-like bags. But this is very smart. It's a MCB?

[eliza]

Yes marytattoo - it is a Medium. I have wanted a Small one for a year or so but there are no colors I'm really interested in. So I broke down and got this Medium. I actually bought a SCB years ago in Kelly green but never used it (not the right color for me at all) and gave it to my SIL. She has it on EVERY time I see her! Made me rethink the brand and so I ret'd to this site in the last year to look at bags and colors.

Thanks about the photos, GoStanford. I had feared that the Linen color might be too light - but as I said it is darker than I expected from the TB photos. My photos are the true color. At least of my bag!

I bought the Kelly MCB and really like it.

I guess I can keep the linen Cafe Bag train rolling since my small version with steel interior came last night. I really like the color and the size is pretty spot on for what I was looking for as a step down from the Co-Pilot. A few quick shots.

The back lighting sent the colors out of kilter on this last one so I edited it to B&W, for a more classic look. ;)

Geez. Never thought I'd go for Linen. But I'm liking it. For all you Bihners with multiple bags of the same style, how do you get around to using them all?

I can answer that! I now have (ahem!) 12 SCBs since I re-homer the azure bag that was under loved by @bchaplin The SCB is my PLO, so I always have one with me and rotate them on a regular (sometimes daily, sometimes every couple of days) basis to coordinate with what I am wearing. Yes, I know I am a little obsessive with the matching :-)

The Swifts serve different purposes as I outlined in this thread: http://forums.tombihn.com/general-ba...my-swifts.html

Otherwise, I don't really have duplicates -- I do have a few SEs but I may de stash some as they've basically been replaced by the collection of SCBs.
