With Its Built to Last Roots, Timbuk2 Offers Character-Packed Customizable Gear
From a Garage to Global Fame
The maker of the durable, customizable bag forever associated with San Francisco–the Timbuk2 we all know and love today was born in a garage in 1989. The company was started by former bike messenger Rob Honeycutt. Timbuk2 originated as a small operation and grew to be the international brand it is today designing innovative products of remarkable quality.
Having once worked as a bike messenger, Honeycutt needed to build a superior bag. He found himself frustrated with available options and began fabricating his own bags, putting emphasis on functionality, durability and style. Other messengers quickly took a liking to them, and from there it didn’t take long until the rest of the world followed suit.
Customization
Customization is one of the hallmarks of Timb2. There is a variety of fabrics, colors and configurations that customers can choose from. Such customization enables you to design a bag based on your requirement and style.

- Recycled Materials: Incorporating recyclables into our bags.
- Through this Program, we motivate our customers to recycle, repair or reuse their old bags.

A Broad Range of Products
Though messenger bags are the crux of the business, Timb2 has branched out to other types of bags and accessories backpacks, laptop baga, totes, and travel gear. The decision to have the new business unit rely on its success-oriented business model applies to every single product that is released.
