Tumi is for travelers. Named after an Inca god, Tumi was founded by Charlie Clifford in 1975 after a stint in the Peace Corps in Peru. The label has evolved to become a brand of luxury travel, business, and lifestyle accessories. Known for its iconic black-on-black ballistic nylon construction, Tumi products achieve a trifecta of technical innovation, functional excellence, and good design. The label's collection of luxe luggage is now accompanied by beautifully crafted handbags and cleverly designed packable outerwear.
