Tumi is a manufacturer of high-end suitcases and bags for travel based in South Plainfield, New Jersey. Founded in 1975 by Charlie Clifford after a stint in the Peace Corps in Peru, the company is named after a Peruvian tumi ceremonial knife used for sacrifices.[

For Tumi, you are our inspiration. 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. No matter what pressure you put it under. Because things that work beautifully make life a beautiful work.
