Help!!! I have fallen in love with this Timbuk 2 bag -- it is one one on the Onlineshoes.com Timbuk 2 "home" page in the top right corner -- http://www.onlineshoes.com/landing.asp?type=brand&brandid=69

It is pink and appears to have a water bottle pocket AND a pink ribbon embroidered logo instead of the usual T2 logo.

I can't find this bag ANYWHERE on the onlineshoes website, nor on T2's website.

HELP!?!? I simply MUST have this bag!!!! :)

It's funny - it's definitely their Commute Bag (you can tell by the side bottle pocket and the D ring strap - their messenger straps are usually sewn on), but I've never seen it in pink! They do lots of "donations" of specially-designed bags for charity events. I've seen some of these event bags re-sold on ebay...Maybe this bag was for a Breast Cancer Run/Cycle or something?

DH had briefly in his possession the Commute XL, which only came in black. The guy who talked to him about the bag said that Timbuk2 was always talking about increasing their color selection. They usually want to see how the bag does in the market first and then they decide to move forward with other colors. It couldn't hurt to ask T2 about the bag :)!

Thanks! I thought it was the commute, but I can't find it on T2s website :(

I have their messengers in Small, Medium and the Metro Mini. That bag just looks like my pink Metro Mini on steroids, which would be PERFECT for me! I always thought that if I could find the Small with an exterior bottle pocket, it would come close to being my ideal bag. The different strap on the Commute would be perfect too!

Thanks!

I emailed T2 customer service about this bag and here is what they said:

The bag you saw is our Pink Commute Bag. The embroidery you see is our swirl logo in pink. We are currently out of stock of this bag, but hope to have it available in the upcoming months on Timbuk2.com. Thanks for your interest in Timbuk2!


Now, I still think the embroidered logo on the bag does NOT look like their standard T2 logo, even if it is a different color. It still looks like a pink ribbon to me, but perhaps along with stealing my brain, DD has taken my eyesight as well, LOL! :o

That definitely looks like a pink ribbon! I would love to get it for my mom who recently finished her cancer treatments. Can you email T2 the link so they can see exactly what you're talking about? That is a cool bag :)

I did email them the link. At least you are seeing the same thing I see.

What a nice gift for your mom!! My best wishes to her.

On closer look I think it may be their logo, but the crease/wrinkle in the bag is creating a shadow that looks like the ribbon. Hmm. Either way, I do think it is a very cute bag!
