In 2008, we donated bags to Support for International Change (SIC), a non-profit that teaches HIV/AIDS education and administers HIV tests in rural Tanzania. They sent us amazing photos of their community health workers using their Timbuk2 bags in Tanzanian communities and recently sent us an update (see photos below). SIC began [...]

Perhaps the coolest thing about our new office is that when it rains it pours! The rain is pounding on the skylights right now. Better than listening to Enya.
Look at Timbuk2’s skylights and listen to this. Try to relax. Try not to pee.

Timbuk2 recently supported the non-profit Life House Duluth in Duluth, Minnesota. Similar to Timbuk2’s Bag Recycling partner, At The Crossroads, Life House Duluth does street outreach with homeless and displaced youth. Their team’s blue uniforms have become a symbol of trust for youth in their community, so blue custom messengers were a great fit for [...]

Fear not! Our new office remains a dog haven less the open staircase that seems to freak them out. Today there are dogs sprinkled all over the place; upstairs, downstairs, under my feat. Change is always good, but dogs are always better.

We spotted Erin and her ruffled messenger on Alabama Street yesterday. She rescued this messenger from a break-up and added the ruffles to make it her own. She rocks it with her hand-made tape player strap-on. Beat that!
See other Timbuk2 showstoppers here or see them all on our city map. Know a Showstopper that [...]

Yesterday was a big one for us. The first custom messengers were sewn in our new San Francisco factory on Folsom Street and it’s Chinese New Year. Good omens galore!
To honor this achievement, the Timbuk2 team signed the first two messengers that came off the line. It was fitting that Hui kicked off the [...]

Phew! Over the weekend we actually made it to our new digs. But not without a few hiccups. We just got back online – the world is too quiet without the world wide web – and are working feverishly to catch up on calls and emails while searching for boxes we need like now. For [...]
