We recently had a visit from some local girls. Amy and Tiffany have grown up blocks from the Timbuk2 HQ and factory in San Francisco’s Mission district and their mom is a star seamstress at Cushion Works, also just blocks away. The Mission and sewing are in their blood. So it was a privilege to give them a tour of our factory and make them custom bags for school. Both girls knew exactly what they wanted – these sisters don’t mess around! – and Hui and the team took a break to make the girl’s bags. Summer school will never be the same.
Tiffany and Amy show their mom their chosen fabrics. You can touch and feel fabrics in our San Francisco retail store too (506 Hayes Street).

Is the public allowed in the factory for (guided) tours?
