Zitat:
We support ethical working conditions and give back to our local community.
We still make our Custom and Classic Messenger Bags right here in San Francisco, with a team of 25+ hardworking cutters and sewers.

"What's this I hear about Timbuk2 bags 'Made in China'?"
Yes, it's true. Timbuk2 is making some of its new products in China. We realize this may concern some of our longstanding customers, so let us explain.
We designed our new laptop computer bags, duffels and accessories to provide the best possible features, quality, and value at reasonable price points-and we designed them right here in San Francisco. Our laptop bags are much more complex to build, and require substantially more labor and a variety of very expensive machines. Unfortunately, it is not practical for us to make these new products in our San Francisco factory-the labor cost alone would make the retail price absurdly high.
We specified all of the materials and construction details to ensure they would meet the superior quality standards our customers have come to expect, and we researched a dozen factories in China before we found one we thought was up to the task.
Our factory in China employs a team of hardworking craftspeople who earn good wages and an honest living, just like our factory in San Francisco. We visit our China factory on a regular basis every 4 to 8 weeks to ensure superior quality standards and working conditions.
