The collection features a variety of bags decked out in a striking kaleidoscope textile pattern sewn in the company’s very own Mission District Factory. Highlights include the company’s classic messenger bag ($119), tuck pack ($119), and mini Prospect Park bag ($119).

“Growing up in San Francisco, Timbuk2 has always been a ubiquitous force in the city’s creative spaces. There’s definitely a special synergy between bike messengers and street artists” says Apexer. “Both communities tend to be quick and constantly on the move, all while boasting a distinct individual style. Timbuk2 does a great job at appealing to both of these qualities, so when the brand approached me for this collaboration, it was an easy choice for me to make.”
