Tumi luggage sizes
Tumi is an American premium travel and lifestyle brand founded in 1975 and known for durable, functional business and travel luggage. Its flagship materials include patented FXT ballistic nylon on the Alpha line and lightweight aluminum and recycled polycarbonate on the 19 Degree line. Tumi luggage is sold through its own stores, tumi.com, and authorized retailers including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Amazon, and the brand is part of the Samsonite group.
Tumi publishes a single exterior dimension set per bag plus weight and volume; on its international English catalog these are given in centimeters and kilograms, converted here to inches. The catalog labels the figure only as DIMENSIONS and does not state whether wheels and handles are included, so wheel inclusion is left unasserted; airport gate sizers measure overall size including wheels and handles, so treat these as approximate at the gate.
