Timbuk2 and Howie's are longstanding TreeHugger faves, so we nearly wet ourselves when we heard that the iconic bag maker and the U.K.-based clothing company joined forces to create a limited-edition messenger bag.
Available in five different sizes and two color schemes (which we can only describe as "girly" and "butch"), and made using a one-two-eco punch of organic cotton and water-based solution dyes in San Francisco, the bag sticks to the Timbuk2 tradition of being PVC-free, with buckles composed of a blend of corn plastic and recycled nylon. Only 200 were produced, so you'll have to get 'em while they last. Click below the fold for more photos, along with purchasing information.
