leather trim, the group includes the Ebury Wardrobe Trunk and the ultimate
in luxury, the Kensington Shoe trunk. All are lined in linen with hand
polished nickel hardware.

Soft luggage styles include day-bags, carry-on and trolleys, available in
black and this summer’s soft camel cotton twill with contrasting chocolate
leather.

The collection has been designed by David Chu. Executive Creative Director.
David is the former CEO of Nautica, the global lifestyle brand that he
founded in 1983.

Background

Tumi luggage currently reigns supreme with the much travelled stars of
sport, stage and screen: Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Rene
Zellweger, Mena Suvari, Annie Liebowitz, Linda Evangelista, Sean Connery, ‘N
Sync, Keanu Reeves, Sir Elton John.

Why is a plain, black case the object of such adoration?

Founded in 1975 by current president Charlie Clifford, Tumi (named after a
Peruvian god) is the leading high-end brand of luggage in America. Built on
the principles of design leadership, technical innovation and focus on
function, the Tumi range is made from ballistic nylon Fusion Z (the world’s
toughest) or soft nappa leather. Carry-ons, soft briefcases, lap-top
carriers, suitcases, garment bags and backpacks feature design details that
are both stylish and function-driven, including easy-access U-zip pockets,
accordion file sections, parachute harness nylon straps, multi-functional
pockets etc.

Designs include:

Wheel-A-Way - Featuring telescopic handles that are constructed from
aircraft aluminium, premium in-line skate wheels that carry loads quietly
and smoothly, and lightweight fibreglass frames that are virtually
unbreakable. In 1999 Tumi launched the 18″ and 24′ case. This series won
‘Best Wheel-On Case’ in US publication Consumer Reports.

Safecase Computer Brief and Briefpack - Voted ‘Best Large and Medium
Computer Case’ by PC Magazine, the Brief features a patented,
shock-absorbing, neoprene sling suspension system for laptop computers, that
offers four time the protection of traditional, foam-padded cases plus
multi-pocketed organiser etc. The Briefpack combines the popular look of
backpacks with the functions of a business case and again features the
Safecase computer sling.

Tumi have developed a dedicated following among top business executives who
have made the Tumi Soft Brief the best-selling premium business case line in
the US.
