About Tumi

You are our inspiration. You are the reason we obsess over creating pieces that exceed expectations, down to the smallest detail. Simply put, there is no other product made like a TUMI.

Founded in 1975, TUMI takes its name from a Peruvian icon known to its founder from his Peace Corps days in South America. During the 1980’s, TUMI’s innovative introduction of soft, ultra-functional, black-on-black ballistic nylon travel bags catapulted the company to its current leadership position.

These five principles guide us as we continually evolve, creating, innovating, and testing products to meet our customers’ needs.

Superior Quality
We seek it, we study it, we obsess over it. Our name, passion and forward thinking is what keeps us ahead of the curve.

Design Excellence
We believe in the beauty of purpose. To us design is the intelligent art of making something that works effortlessly, uniting function and form into one exceptional object.

Technical Innovation
We create products that incorporate the most advanced and state-of-the-art components, to provide solutions even before problems arise.

Functional Superiority
Every piece we create is made with the highest quality materials and backed by the industry's most rigorous testing.

Quality and assortment have made TUMI the leading international business, lifestyle, and accessory brand that travelers depend on. Simply put, we design for you. That is what we call the TUMI Difference.
