Timbuk2 has been especially influential in popularizing the messenger bag as an urban fashion accessory. It was founded in 1989 by a San Francisco bicycle messenger with an old sewing machine. His goal was to make a messenger bag rugged enough for real bicycle messengers, yet stylish enough to appeal to a broader market of young, hip urbanites as an alternative to the traditional two-strap day pack. Its catchy name, three-panel design, distinctive "swirl" logo, and the fact that it was "Made In San Francisco" added to its cachet.

Threadless and Timbuk2 have teamed up to bring some pretty nice messenger bags to the masses. These limited edition Messenger bags, 200 of each were made, are each screen printed with a Threadless artist graphic. Timbuk2 chose several Threadless t-shirt designs and printed them onto their premium messenger bags, each going for $130 to $150.
Lets see some enjoyable messenger bags...
