Lefties Unite

Good news for our left-handed comrades! The lefty option is back in the Bag Builder. Now you can choose to have the TrueFit cam buckle sewn to the left side of custom messengers. Why is this a victory for lefties worldwide? Let me (attempt to) explain . . . Lefties typically wear messengers over [...]

Shiny Swigs in the Bag Builder

We launched 16 new specialty fabrics in the Bag Builder last week, including three colors of Vinyl. The black Vinyl is a team favorite; seriously classes up a small Swig. Check out our other fabric options and the new binding colors here.

iPad Chatter

The iPad finally emerged today and left a geeky flood of chatter in its wake. Is the iPad totally awesome or is it terrible (and not that necessary)?! We asked people to share their iPad feelings on Facebook and so many spoke up we felt compelled to chime in. So we got Jordan (our resident [...]

Dog Gone Morning

Feel something rubbing up against your legs this morning? It’s Tobi.

Tobi, our bearded little friend. And we know we are way too entertained by dogs. . .

Lost and Found (Literally)

The Napoleon pocket is a side zipper pocket you can [...]

Timbuk2 is Big with the Little People

My nieces received Hidden Backpacks for Hanukah this year. The streets of the LBC will never be the same.

The youngest uses her Hidden as a cape. Timbuk2 toddlers unite!

The oldest uses her Hidden as her skateboard sidekick.

Timbuk2. Big with nature and the little people.

The Money Spot

This old dog has found the money spot; at the feet of our CFO, T-Money.

Dharma the Clothes Horse

It’s pouring in San Francisco today, but Dharma is prepared. She trotted into the office this morning in a down rain coat and then promptly changed into a wool sweater. What a bitch.

Rain, what rain?! Wet weather is no problem for Dharma.

Pedaling is for Suckers

The NYT reported this weekend on the growing trend of electric bicycles in the US. They’re all the rage in China, but have been slow to catch on in the US for a number of reasons. But according to the NYT, “E-bike makers in the United States saw something of a mini-boom in 2008, when [...]
