If you bought it from Timbuk2's website yours was made in SF, the other shops got the one from overseas.

They outsourced a while ago... They have limited edition bags and special order bags (like mine) that are still Made in SF. I also have a couple not made in San Francisco but I really wanted one that was handmade in the city, so I paid a lot extra for my bag. That's why I was so bummed to see the Vietnam tag. They're all still great bags, but I am not quite sure what I paid for now.

I guess I will shoot CS an email... I thought "Hand Made in San Francisco" meant what it said... :(

Custom Messenger: tag inside says Vietnam?

Hi,
I bought a custom messenger from the bag builder on the website. There is one tag inside that says "Hand made in SF" but last night while cleaning it I found a smaller tag in a seam that says "Vietnam". What gives?!
