TUMI – TESTED BUSINESS FUNCTIONALITY

The manufacturer TUMI is distinguished not only by attractive business and travel luggage but also by a genuine passion for quality. The brand itself states that its products "exceed expectations down to the smallest detail." To meet this self-imposed standard, TUMI sets the highest benchmarks for its products. Every new product is tested multiple times, improved, and if in doubt, repeatedly put to the test until the desired goal is achieved. This is how the brand succeeds in creating bags, suitcases, and backpacks that function flawlessly, are durable, and pleasing to the eye.

TUMI QUALITY CRITERIA IN DETAIL

We want to briefly and clearly introduce you to some representative criteria that make TUMI products reliable companions for travel and business. Environmental cycle and UV light test: The brand tests the durability of the materials used here. Suitcases must regularly withstand temperatures up to 49 °C as well as freezing conditions in the cargo hold of airplanes. Only after the materials have undergone extensive testing does TUMI offer suitcases that are absolutely weatherproof from Siberia to the desert.

• Quality feature: Testing procedures
• Drum test: Like in a washing machine, the suitcases are shaken during the drum test. They are fully packed and then subjected to 125 cycles without mercy. Only TUMI products that pass this test are brought to market by the brand.
• Zipper tensile strength: Zippers are critical points not only on suitcases but also on TUMI backpacks and business bags. Therefore, the brand extensively tests the tensile strength of the zippers. Even with slight overfilling of bags and backpacks, you can expect your TUMI product to withstand the strain.
• Handle-pull test: Other manufacturers point out on the telescopic handles of their suitcases that the models should not be lifted by the handle. TUMI, on the other hand, faces the fact that this exact situation regularly occurs in everyday life. Therefore, the telescopic handles at TUMI undergo a whole series of pull and tug tests. This ensures that they do not come loose from the case even under heavy load.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN EVERYDAY LIFE

The TUMI brand is not only passionately committed to high quality standards but also adapts business luggage to modern everyday life. This leads to innovative solutions that make life significantly easier.

• TUMI tracer®: Behind this feature is a combination of barcode and a free app. The program allows TUMI customers to locate lost or stolen bags so they can be returned to their owner as quickly and reliably as possible.
• Smooth-rolling wheels: The brand’s suitcases glide on modern smooth-rolling wheels mounted in sealed steel ball bearings. Specially designed shock-absorbing bearings and steel axles ensure that the rolling suitcases glide especially quietly and easily beside you.
  Telescopic handle made of aerospace aluminum: The suitcase rods use a lightweight and extremely durable aluminum developed for the high demands of aerospace.
• Durafold®: The construction method developed exclusively by TUMI provides maximum durability with reinforced corners. Impact-resistant covers are used along with durable seams.
• Omega closure system®: With this patented system, TUMI minimizes the risk of damage to the zipper. The list of innovative technologies at TUMI is extremely long. For example, shorten waiting times at airport check-in with the TUMI T-Pass®. Simply leave your laptop in the bag for scanning – the technology is accepted by the TSA. The innovative Add-A-Bag system allows a clever combination of multiple pieces of luggage. With loops on the back of business bags, shoulder bags, and backpacks, these can be perfectly slid over the telescopic handle of the suitcase. Instead of fumbling, sorting, and stacking, you can easily organize your TUMI luggage.

WHERE IS TUMI MADE?

The brand uses internationally selected partners who manufacture materials and handle product production. TUMI is aware of its social responsibility and details on its homepage the individual measures taken for sustainable and environmentally conscious production. These include:

• Use of highly efficient halogen metal vapor lamps that consume 50% less energy than halogen incandescent lamps.
• Reduction of original zinc by 50%, use of recycled zinc.
• Use of yarn dyed by spinning, which reduces wastewater pollution.
• Avoidance of PVC by using alternative materials, achieving the goal by 95%. Compliance with environmental regulations, subsidies for using public transportation in Hong Kong and the USA. 90% of Asian employees use this daily.

TUMI: The ALPHA, ALPHA BRAVO, and VOYAGEUR series in detail

TUMI's business luggage from the (Men's) Alpha or Alpha 2 series embodies everything the manufacturer stands for: design innovation, technology, functionality, and performance. The products are made from patented FXT ballistic nylon, which is extremely durable and long-lasting. The "Alpha Bravo" series is also based on these principles and focuses fully on functionality and versatility. However, its design differs from the classic series and partly resembles military equipment.

Women do not have to miss out on these many advantages. Bags, backpacks, and wallets from the "Voyageur" series are just as functional as the men's models. However, the design is distinctly more feminine. So at TUMI, you will definitely find what you are looking for – best to take a look in the shop right away.
