I always wondered if my meeting notes would seem smarter in one of those pads, or if I wouldn't look as foolish when I dribbled my coffee on it. Perhaps you can offer some guidance?

I'd never even heard of Tumi before "meeting" Paul but after hearing about the quality of their stuff I went and bought a simple little card holder / money clip / front pocket wallet thing. That was about 6 years ago. I've had no-name brands and I've had Coach brand but the Tumi has outlasted them all. My son has a Tumi tri-fold wallet and there's no signs of that wearing out either.
Paul, as brand ambassador I hope they're not charging you for this stuff.

Love it!

My wife got me this notebook a few years ago for Christmas. To match my briefcase.

It’s holding up well. And I beat the crap out of it.

All my Tumi is pre acquisition (by Samsonite in 2016). Has quality held up?

I understand they offer a line of colognes.
So Paul, ~ Do you smell of Tumi?

Very nice collection. What do you draw during meetings? Engineer stuff? Engineer stuff surrounded by Tumi?
