The Tumi Difference
Exceptional quality and high performance products have made TUMI the leading International, lifestyle
and accessories brand that travelers depend on consistently. This is what we call the TUMI Difference.
What Makes Us Different
Our elevated craftsmanship, durability and resiliency is in the DNA of everything we produce. We create
products that are sustainable and feature exclusive materials, creating travel solutions for today and
beyond. The following four principles guide us as we continually evolve, creating innovating and testing
products to meet the needs of our customers.
Design Excellence
We seek it. We study it. Yes, we obsess over it. From aeronautics to automotives to sports — we’re
constantly inspired by the world’s most innovative industries to create products that work for you. And
with
more than 125 patents to our name, our passion for forward-thinking is what keeps us ahead of the curve.
END TO END DESIGN
Designed From
The Bottom Up
Every product ever designed by us
started
from an idea on a piece of paper and then engineered over and over until we are
satisfied with the product we hold in our hands
DEEP DOWN DESIGN
Design Is Engrained
Into Our DNA
We bring our obsessive design ethos
into the
smallest details of our products, because we believe that's where they matter most.
PRECISION DETAILS
Its the Small
Details That Count
The reason we obsess over creating
pieces that
constantly exceed expectations, down to the smallest detail. Test, test, test,
reject and
repeat. Each and every Tumi product is put through extraordinary paces to make sure
it will
perform flawlessly.
Technical Innovations
We create products that incorporate the most advanced and state-of-the-art components to provide
solutions that
prevent problems from arising

Functional Superiority
Our innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. People inspire everything we do. That is why we
take
every product out into the real world to be assessed in multiple scenarios. Our products are
put
through comprehensive testing to ensure they will perform and endure. And, in the unlikely
event you
have an issue — we'll fix it.
Superior Quality
We want to keep you and your TUMI on the road. Each bag has undergone rigorous testing to
ensure its
durability meets our high standards.

SUSTAINABILITY
Innovative by Nature
Sustainable by Choice
TUMI products protect your belongings when you travel. Our planet is an astonishing place,
and we believe it’s our responsibility to preserve it for travelers of the future. By
putting excellence and quality first, we are committed to creating quality TUMI products
that have lifelong purpose, supported by our rigorous testing standards, recycled materials
and global repair network.
Built to Last
Exceptional quality and unparalleled durability are paramount to every piece TUMI creates, including those made with recycled materials.
Recycled Material Innovation
Our recycled collections use fabric made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles as well as recycled nylon.
Global Repair Network
If something goes awry, we'll fix it. If it breaks, we’ll repair it. If it’s lost, we’ll help you track it with the TUMI Tracer® recovery program. This means fewer bags end up in landfills.
MATERIAL INNOVATION
Recycled Plastic
980,531 plastic bottles have been
diverted
from landfills and converted into reusable materials for TUMI bags. We use
post-consumer
recycled PET fabric as the interior lining, zipper tape, webbing and binding.
Innovative Products
We create high-quality products using
sustainable materials. One percent of proceeds from our largely recycled 19 Degree
collection will support environmental causes that are part of the 1% for the Planet
network.
Carbon Action
We're working with our operations
around the world to reduce carbon emissions by 15% and transition to 100% renewable
energy by 2025. We are doing our part to preserve the world's beautiful places
Thriving Supply Chain
Our supplier code of conduct requires
our suppliers to meet our standards of fair and responsible business, so that
everyone involved in the making of TUMI luggage is treated with respect and care.
People Focused
Our journey is powered by people, our
greatest asset. Working with exceptional partners like St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital, All Hands and Hearts and Waves for Water, has allowed us to help make
tough journeys a little easier on the way to better places.
PHILANTHROPY
Partners We Believe In
Making a positive impact on communities is a big part of our sustainability effort, and helping
to take
care of the most vulnerable among us aligns with our mission; it is a core element of what we do. We
focus on promoting well-being; empowering vulnerable communities; and protecting our planet.
