Your bag has worked hard for you! Thanks for sharing its story. I think we should see a photo of the bag before you send it to us. It would be terrible if you sent us the bag and then we couldn't pass it on to a new user. Can you send a photo to customerservice@timbuk2.com? Thanks for your interest in the Recycling Program.

The bag has survived eight Portland winters (and a whole lot of rain). The black waterproof truck-tarp lining is SO beat up in places that I actually turned the bag inside out to patch the spots with coated nylon taffeta (trailer weight fabric from Burley). I also repaired the cinch strap with a shopping cart castoff (you can see the silhouette of the kid leaning out of the shopping cart on the strap). Finally I patched one of the worn-out outside seams of the bag with some brightly colored ribbon. The bag has been decsribed as a beautiful mess, but it's entirely functional and really funky and cool. Is this bag too far gone to recycle for someone? I'd be happy to send it , but not if it just winds up in the circular file. So I have a Timbuk2 bag that I’m thinking of recycling.

I ask because I browsed two days ago and decided on the Limit Estate Purple, but went back today and it's GONE. :( How long will I need to wait for another awesome pattern to appear?
