TUMI Incoming

30% off was too much to resist for a new Alpha 2. The line was just discontinued so they are hard to find. I may have picked up the last black 31 inch Alpha 2 available online in the US. This is my 4th TUMI piece and all of them are outstanding.

Thank you Paul for enabling me in this newfound addiction!

They have the new Alpha 3 especially for them. It’s almost the same as the Alpha 2 but 15-20% more retail

Wow. Just looked at it and they’re charging more for revised exterior pockets and a USB cable. It doesn’t even have a built in battery pack.

Nice catch, sadly I have also fallen for Tumi by picking up a Gatwick Explorer 22" carry on.

They really are one of the best.

And their Amazon shop has black

I kept pushing the salespeople and trying to wait them out but it never happened. Ended up just biting the bullet and I’m glad I did. The grey was an additional 20% off. I liked the color a lot but thought it might be too light and show wear. That and I really just had my heart set on the black.

The price is great...I might have to settle for grey as the black is not on the 30% off sale.

My first thought was to go with the black when I headed out to buy my first piece last month (double expansion satchel). When I saw the pewter color I thought it looked great. When I found out it was 20% off it was a no-brainer. Yesterday I saw the 30% sale posted here and went back to grab the matching medium packing case. I purposely brought my receipt from last month's purchase and the sales associate was nice enough to credit me the extra 10% on my satchel bag.
