In celebration of SF Pride, we bring you the SF Pride Bag! Limited quantities available starting . . . now, exclusively in San Francisco at the Citizen Clothing in the Castro and the Timbuk2 Retail Store in Hayes Valley.
Would you rock this in August or November? We built this bag for SF Pride weekend, but we think it deserves more airtime. Cast your vote below to wear your pride, after Pride, and we’ll do our best to make it happen like we did with the Racing Stripe Messenger.
The Obama women rolled through town yesterday on San Francisco’s newest cable car. Secret Service practically took over Russian Hill to ensure Michelle, Malia, and Sasha had a safe ride. It was all very exciting. However ridiculous it may be, I feel unusually proud of our city because a) the sun was actually out when they were here, b) I love our cable cares, and c) I’m inspired by the Obama women.* With SF Pride starting Saturday, I’m practically overflowing with San Francisco love. Ok, I’ll stop it now. Oh, if you haven’t been to the San Francisco Cable Car Museum or chatted with a cable car operator, you really should.

Our friend Fernanda brought her new Racing Stripe Messenger all the way to Puerto Natales, Chile (Magallanes Y De La Antartica Chilena). Sweet!
Does it come in a medium size? And.. can I get it in Lavender with Citron trims?

I was messing around Etsy again, and found this super cool bicycle mobile:

Spreadshirt’s (German) blog is so hot right now. Check out what a half-naked German man can do to a Hemp/PET Blogger with a lightening bolt. Yow! Apparently in Deutschland, sex sells.
Want some? Get some on Spreadshirt’s US site here or stay local and check out the Hemp/PET blogger on Timbuk2.com.

Our resident German speaker loosely translated this blog for us: “We’re giving away this awesome Timbuk2 Blogger Bag from our new exclusive collection. It’s from our photo shoot and therefore is imprinted with this “handsome arrow.” If you wanted to buy one, the value is 91.4 euro. What do you have to do to win this bag? Really easy: You have to blog. Anything. It can be about the web, about the elections in Iran, about the theme of the new iPhone, or explaining why you need a new bag now. On the theme of t-shirt day – or blog about something@the hair stylist(?). Whatever the theme that moves you and explains why you absolutely need this blogger bag. Please post on this blog post so we can see you are participating in the bag-blogging. By the end of this coming Wednesday the 24th of June at midnight. The winner will be pulled on Friday.”
Zoe is our resident fluff ball. She gives Jonny a run for his money in our Timbuk2 t-shirt.
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 unscientifically calculated facebook and flickr love posts, to narrow down our bag biography competition entries to ten. From there the Timbuk2 office voted for the top five winners. It literally came down to one vote for a couple winners. Read their stories and check out everyone’s entries here. Thank you to everyone who entered!
