Tumi

To tell if a TUMI bag is authentic, the luxury brand recommends using the TUMI Tracer. You will find it on a metal plate sewn onto the lining of an interior pocket in most cases. Once you have found this number, refer to the TUMI website for instructions on how to authenticate it. If you can't find a TUMI Tracer, consult an experienced authenticator for assistance.

Yes, Tumi is considered luxury. Charlie Clifford founded the brand in the 1970s, having been inspired by the Peruvian craftsmanship he had witnessed while serving in the Peace Corps. The American maker’s pieces, like duffel bags made with handcrafted leather, soon attracted attention for their quality and style, especially from travelers. Soon, the brand expanded beyond leather into other materials like ballistic nylon that could hold up to heavy use by frequent flyers. Its artisans continue to prioritize quality throughout the production process, allowing Tumi goods to hold up to the effects of frequent use. Find a variety of Tumi bags and accessories on 1stDibs.
