Timbuk2 Bags Stick with You

We mean it when we say, “You’ve got a lifer on your hands.” As you can see here, Timbuk2 will be there as a sidekick through the toughest and roughest times and even when you’re getting arrested during Critical Mass! In our Michael Jackson voice: “I’ll be there… just look over your shoulders honey.” Jonathan [...]

Globe Trotting with Timbuk2

We recently received this note from Brent M. He has literally traveled around the world with his Timbuk2. Addis, Petra, Dublin and more! I’d love to be his bag. From Brent: I just completed another overseas trip with my Timbuk2 messenger bag. It has been around the world with me many times and it’s still [...]

Zombie Ride, Oakland Style

So this last Friday I joined East Bay Bike Party for their Zombie Ride through Oakland. If you’ve never heard of these rides, think of it like a costumed critical mass, but more well mannered (no yelling at cars, obey all traffic laws, politely ask people to share their delicious BRAAAAAAAAAINS!!!) In my preparation for [...]

The Camera Bag is Here

Our Snoop Camera Messenger launched last night after four years of requests. Thank you for staying the course! We really do listen and making a camera bag is tricky business so your ideas were a big part of making this happen. Now about our camera bag . . . We made it little different than [...]

Deth P. Sun’s Hand-Painted Messenger

Who wants a hand-painted messenger?! Local artist Deth P. Sun created this one-of-a-kind messenger for us. His painting wraps around the entire bag so there’s a cool surprise under the messenger flap and on the bottom of the bag (which the world sees when it’s synched tight on your back). Pretty rad. We’re auctioning it [...]
