International Rep-Fest

Last week, we hosted Timbuk2 international reps from Korea, Japan, Germany, and Brazil. We talked to them about Timbuk2 products, fed them, made them drink PBR, and generally did our best to exhaust them. A certain Japan rep was down for the count come day two.

We have five winners!

Commute 2.0 & TSA

Gizmodo did a nice little didy on our new Commute 2.0 yesterday and stirred some commentary about whether the 2.0 is or is not TSA compliant. Well . . . it is! Our designers followed TSA’s painfully detailed rule book in developing the Commute 2.0 and we’ve been personally testing it for months on our [...]

Design a Designer look for a Designer

Hey everybody, you might remember me as the moustache man. But just as the trees bloom in the spring, so does my face (although not my head, which is disappointing.) Anyhoo, since we have a huge party coming up this Friday, I was thinking about getting out the ol’ hedge trimmers and taking it down [...]
