With the summer holidays now in full swing, you are (hopefully) anticipating that long-deserved summer holiday. You and your family have worked hard throughout the year, and it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor! Perhaps this summer’s travels may take you to some exotic beach far away (check out our Escape to Paradise Collection for a show-stopper ensemble of summer travel essentials in tranquil hues), or you may be packing up the kids and heading for the East Coast shores or Florida’s coastline. No matter where your travels may take you this summer, you’ll want to ensure quality luggage is on your pre-travel shopping list.
If you’ve taken a trip to the mall recently, you’ll notice expansive luggage selections in brick-and-mortar department stores are more difficult to find. Since the days of the pandemic, in-store inventory has been greatly reduced, challenging shoppers to become more innovative in their product research and purchasing. Of course, there are millions of luggage pieces to choose from online, but sifting through hundreds of brands can become extremely time consuming. And when you’re on a time crunch planning for that perfect summer beach getaway, spending dozens of hours endlessly scrolling through images of luggage, luggage sets, carry-ons, weekenders, and boarding bags can cause unnecessary tears of frustration.
We Do The Pre-Shopping for You!
Thankfully, there are sites like ours that do the hard lifting for travelers and curate brands in our online store that have good reputations, high customer satisfaction reports, and aesthetic appeal. As lifestyle travelers ourselves, we’re well acquainted with the ins and outs of domestic and international travel and have discovered some secrets of our own. Combined with our research and connections within the travel industry, we have assembled a boutique selection of trusted luggage brands that are both function and fashionable. (After all, who wants a boring black bag when you can have an adorable hard shell checked bag with gold accents!)
While there are several high quality luggage brands in the market, there is none that quite compares to the Tumi brand. Crowned as the gold star of luxury luggage, Tumi meets all the demands travelers crave. Their pieces are highly functional, elegantly chic, and superiorly designed. Loved by customers and consistently five-star rated, Tumi luggage rarely disappoints the discerning traveler.
All these exquisite features do come with a hefty price tag—and that’s why Tumi luggage is an investment piece and not just a short-term purchase. If you’re planning on traveling extensively every summer for the rest of your life, you’ll end up replacing your summer luggage about every 3-5 years. But with Tumi luggage, your investment will have a long life span, because these first-rate pieces were built to last.

Moreover, Tumi luggage pieces come with a five-year warranty and are part of the Tumi tracer program—a unique system that allows customers to keep track of their bags during travel. With these added advantages to the Tumi purchase, the up-front cost balances out over time, satisfying customers year over year, decade after decade.
As summer travels begin to peak over the next few months, Tumi luggage will undoubtedly be on the luxury traveler’s shopping list and spotted at high end luxury resorts.
