Timbuk2 is a San Francisco original

We were born in a San Francisco garage in 1989 by a bike messenger and raised in the city’s vibrant Mission District ever since. We are proudly rooted in local, urban manufacturing. For over 25 years we’ve built tough-as-hell custom bags for urban adventurers who thrive off of city-life. Whether you work hard or play hard, we promise to be your constant companion. A symbol of independence. An innovative tool that is indespensable and indesctructible. Guaranteed.

About Us

Your company works hard...most of the time. Now you can be really ridiculously stylish, all of the time. Promote company culture, reward hard work, and look good doing it. For over a decade, Timbuk2’s Corporate Sales Team has been making awesome bags for corporate customers. Whether it’s an order of 1,000 bags for Google employees or 50 bags for New Belgium Brewery, we help you personalize bags that your employees will drool over.

Quality Materials

A touch of this, a hit of that, it takes a lot of webbing and weave to make a Timbuk2 product. But each material counts. We evaluate the performance and durability of our materials by testing their tensile strength, seam slippage, water column, tear abrasion, ball burst, mullens, colorfastness, and other sexy things. Only materials that meet pass our rigorous testing earn the right to be integrated into Timbuk2 products. We also evaluate the environmental impact of our materials. We do not – we will not! – use materials considered toxic by the global community. In addition to regularly assessing the materials we use, we constantly hunt for newer, better materials solutions. Finding the perfect fabric or binding is challenging but oh so necessary.

Durability

Timbuk2 products are built to last a lifetime; it’s not uncommon for Timbuk2 bags to outlast relationships, jobs, and even pets (meow). We select materials that are tough enough for whatever life throws at you, we recycle bags you’re ready to break up with, and our Lifetime Warranty covers any defects or tragic fails you may encounter over time.

Lifecycle Program

Number of bags saved - 6,993 reused; 3,190 repaired; 0 Landfill

We created the Timbuk2 Life Cycle to enable your Timbuk2 product to live a full life, now & forever. The Timbuk2 Life Cycle is the most responsible thing we can do environmentally — extend the life of our existing products — and we are both passionate and proud of the reduce, reuse, repair, recycle, and reimagine aspects of the program. Life Cycle has lead to the development of new meaningful partnerships with Yerdle, iFix It, and Terra Cycle, and a new full-time hire of a repairs sewer in our San Francisco factory. It's the program we're most proud of and we hope you find it both useful and inspiring. Welcome to the Timbuk2 Life Cycle. Drop in, now and forever.

Lifetime Warranty

Timbuk2 products have a lifetime warranty; we stand behind the legendary quality and craftsmanship of all our products. But we also embrace the wild, twisty ways of life. If there is a defect in the materials or workmanship of your Timbuk2 product (gasp!), we will repair your bag at our discretion. Timbuk2's Lifetime Warranty does not cover the contents of your bag or damage caused by abnormal adventure. Learn more by visiting our Timbuk2 Life Cycle website.
