Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

This is a gift for my nephew. He is particularly special about the bag he carries. This a both stylish and functional.

I use it daily. The size (M) can make it a little heavy as I do tend to fill it. I really like all the pockets, and my color choices are vibrant. This is my 2nd timbuk2 bag and I'm still using the first which is approx 15yrs of old:)

Really love it! Especially the customization. I was expecting the medium to be like their old medium from years ago, so read the description carefully!

I've used one of these most days for more than ten years in London. The most useable bag ever. So I recently bought a new custom designed one for my son who moved to SF. He loves it more than his duffel bag or his rucksack.

I looove my bag! The teal color is gorgeous. The ability to fully customize this bag is what sold me (besides the rave reviews).

I really liked being able to choose the colors for the three panels, and then being able to choose the trim color. It was really fun looking at the different combinations. I bought this for someone who had a color profile done, and their color was blue tones. So I was able to create a very stylish and unique bag for them that matched their favorite color.

I've been through a number of messenger bags and sling bags, none compare to the design of this one. I was able to customize material and color, which obviously is an ascetic bonus. The cup holders, zips pockets, and sleeves are all thoughtfully sized and placed. The size of the bag is exactly what I need for work trips. I can fit both comfort items and work/tech items without overstuffing as I'm always doing in other bags. Really impressed with the overall design of the bag.

The perfect bag DOES exist. The extra small is just perfect daily bag.

I purchased this custom messenger bag to replace a generic one that I used for years. This one is larger and better made, colored to my specifications, made from recycled materials, and waterproof. When placing my order I worried that the "large" size would be too large for me, but it is not too large. It fits my MacBook and peripherals plus the media I typically carry with me, all with room to spare if I need it. I am pleased.

I love this bag. It's sturdy, roomy, and fun!

Perfect size for a purse and the reflecto fabric is so helpful during those long Seattle winter nights! I've had many Timbuk2 bags over the years in almost every size, life and still have (and use) all of them!

Just great!

Love it! Talk about sturdy. I load this up with the heaviest textbooks. Has held up great.

I love my new messenger bag and met every expectation and more! It's much larger that I imagined. Excellent craftsmanship.

I had tried another brand, and used a backpack for a while and just went back to using the classic: great organization, so well made. I love the custom order process. I expect to have this bag a very long time!

Great bag. Just bought a new one as a replacement for my old Timbuktu from around 2007

I had a Timbuk2 messenger bag years ago when I biked more regularly, but I was in the market for a messenger-styled bag to use as an every-day purse, and the extra small was perfect for this. I've purchased cross-body bags with the same liter capacity before, but they didn't hold nearly as much as this bag does. With the exterior pockets, interior pockets, optional slash pouch, inside zippered pocket, and overall shape of the bag, there's plenty of space for all of my stuff. The I love the custom options, too! I also got the extra small-sized silencer strips.

I bought this bag after my first 15 year old Timbuk2 bag was stolen. I simply cannot live without this bag! I use it when I'm on the road for work and it is essentially my traveling office. It holds all of my files, notebooks and miscellaneous office items. I love that you can now customise the bag which I did in my favourite colors.

Bigger than my last commute bag but somehow easier to manage, and much more spacious. Room for more than I'll probably ever put into it, but collapses itself down so naturally when emptier that you'd never know. Really well thought out internal storage You can fit a 16" MacBook into the small size bag, but it's definitely happier here, along with room for whatever else you need to bring back and forth with you Customization options are OK, wish they had more variety of materials and textures like they used to and wish you could customize the inner lining, but it still came out looking great. Haven't noticed any quality differences from the last one I got back when they were still made in sf The strap length adjuster thing is a little finicky which is annoying, but still better than the competitor bag I was using.

Quality product, as expected. I replaced another Timbuk2 bag that I've had for over a decade, and not because it was broken, but because I wanted style options. I'll stick with Timbuk2 for a lifetime.

Final found the perfect bag for daily use and trail use. I use the small message bag for my daily use and on the weekends, this daily bag goes right on the trail- perfectly holds water and snacks!

I purchased this for my boyfriend. He absolutely loves it! The make, style and easiness of it.

Love this bag. It is very comfortable and the storage is just right.

Amazing bag, very spacious, very durable

I have owned a bag just like the new one for 30 years. I use it whenever I travel. My old one is still in perfect condition. No tears at all. I love how it carries everything I need when I travel. Best bag I've ever owned. The new one is a gift!
