Tumi

Tumi sits at the premium end of travel goods, making suitcases, carry-ons, business backpacks, briefcases and accessories aimed largely at frequent business travellers. Its best-known materials include ballistic nylon in the Alpha collection and polycarbonate in hardside lines such as 19 Degree, and many bags include detailed organisation for laptops, chargers and documents. Some products come with Tumi Tracer, a registration system intended to help reunite owners with lost or stolen items, and monogramming is offered on many pieces. Tumi is owned by Samsonite Group. The main trade-off is cost, since prices are well above mainstream luggage brands, and some ballistic nylon models are heavier than ultralight alternatives. Buyers should check the warranty terms for their region, compare weight and dimensions against airline limits, and decide whether the organisation and finish justify the price.
