While the rest of the world is making messenger bags in their bike shops from recycled truck tarps and old vinyl signage, Timbuk2 is still banging their heads against their cubicles trying to come up with a material for their own recycled bags. Timbuk2’s upcoming bag is called Lamitron—probably named after the process of fusing low- and high-density polyethylene into a waterproof, durable fabric. They haven’t announced pricing or a release date for their shopping-bar-and-milk-jug packs, so we’ll all have to keep polluting with the messenger bags we’re currently using.
