Rickshaw Bagworks
Rob Honeycutt and Mark Dwight, the original founders of Timbuk2, have launched a new bag company called Rickshaw Bagworks that directly competes with Timbuk2 and other similar bag companies (like Chrome and Crumpler) in the ever-expanding bag and backpack market.
The company has already set up shop in their home base of San Francisco at 904 22nd Street. Their line of bags look sleek, speaking to a more sophisticated crowd than their previous bag efforts. I like the offerings so far, despite the lack of any customizing features. But then again, sometimes too much choice is too hard, so maybe for now, this is good.
Have a look at this interview with Mark Dwight and this interview with Rob Honeycutt and see how each founder of this new bag company is looking to change the current landscape of bag sales.
