A made in SF Timbuk2 bag was (and is?) the ultimate laptop bag.
- ghaff 1y agoI used one as a laptop etc. bag for a long time. As laptops got a bit smaller I now tend to repurpose a Mountainsmith bag (used over the shoulder) these days as my travel "personal item." But, in any case, some sort of shoulder bag is my goto. I find there are some downsides to backpacks on public transit, etc. and I end up with them slung over one shoulder anyway so why not use something designed for that usage.
- jerlam 1y agoVintage ones, maybe. Timbuk2 has been slowly moving their manufacturing overseas. Rickshaw Bagworks is the made in SF successor from the previous Timbuk2 CEO.
- jollyllama 1y agoGood to know. I know they shifted some production, but it wasn't clear to me if the custom ones were still made in SF, and if the non-custom bags were made in SF any time in the last 15 years.
- redwall_hp 1y agoThat'll be good to know in 30 years when I need to replace my Timbuk2 bag.
