Founded in 1975 by a former Peace Corps volunteer who drew inspiration from his time in South America, Tumi is an American brand specializing in premium travel and lifestyle goods. The company first gained prominence in the 1980s by introducing soft, yet remarkably durable, black-on-black ballistic nylon travel bags, which became a signature for a generation of frequent flyers and business professionals. This focus on performance and technical innovation remains central to the brand’s identity, with products engineered for longevity and convenience, featuring patented components and the Tumi Tracer® product recovery program.
