About Us
The ‘Pioneer’
Born, bred and here to stay. We were born in a San Francisco garage and bred on the backs of messengers in the city streets. And we still manufacture our custom bags in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District. For 20 years, we’ve been building bags and accessories for urban adventures with a simple philosophy – create good-looking, tough-as-Hell bags you can truly make your own.
Wear Your Stripes
We celebrate being different, so we want you to mess with our bags. And we know you will. From the beginning, you’ve always controlled the destiny of Timbuk2 bags.
- You design and create custom bags in our Bag Builder.
- You hack our bags and show us what’s in your bag so we can make bags that work harder for you.
- You fuel our Customer Service and help us, help you, help yourself.
We love that you express your individuality through riffing on Timbuk2 bags. Otherwise they’d just be another bag. This is your show; get after it!
Built to Outlast You
Like rice and beans, we keep it simple when it comes to being pro-planet. We make durable bags that are tough as Hell and built to last. So while our competition is piling up in landfills, we stay on your back, hugging you for a lifetime. Tales of Timbuk2 bags outlasting jobs, lovers, pets, and train wrecks are not uncommon. These stories give us the confidence to guarantee our bags will last a lifetime.
But we know sh*t happens. So if you find yourself in a place where you can’t possibly love your bag any more and you’ve simply had enough, we give you an out. We’ll take your bag off your hands and find it a new (loving) home through Timbuk2’s bag recycling program.
It’s Not a Brand, It’s a Bond
We’re like super glue, or a Chinese finger trap (that doesn’t suck); we just stick. We know you don’t need another bag. You need a sidekick, a constant companion. You need a bag that will take the hit when you skid out or literally “bail” you out of a leaky boat. You need a bag that will be a fire blanket for your stuff; a bag that will float your laptop when you’re drunk and your girlfriend drops it in the ocean. We hear you and we get it because we wear Timbuk2 bags too. We’re fully committed to meeting your needs and we’re confident that with your help, we’ll continue creating like-no-other products that don’t kick Mother Nature in the ‘nads.
