Luggage leader Tumi has launched new Tiger Eye II travel bags and Alpha accessories collections, just in time for spring getaways.
The extensive range features a range of bags including a slender international carry-on case, a T-Pass Business Class Briefcase, a messenger bag with a padded iPad compartment, a north-south style cross-body bag, and a crossover with a flap-over zip closure. Each handbag is crafted from Tumi’s tough ballistic nylon and lined with hardy chino jacquard fabric.
The predominant brown color is a bit pedestrian for my tastes, but I really like the red-toothed zippers and details that accent the travel cases. A Tumi spokesperson said the styling was intended to reflect “the imagery of strength, protection and beauty” associated with the Tiger Eye concept.
These handbags and suitcases are complemented by Tumi’s new Alpha accessories. These include a gusseted case for cards and ID, a reversible alpha ballistic belt, a global coin wallet, a larger zip-around travel wallet, and a global center flip ID passcase. They’ve got the same color scheme we saw in the Tiger Eye II line, so the travel items work really well together. They won’t inspire a lot of envy in the airport terminal, but they should make your travels a lot smoother.
Tumi’s Tiger Eye II and Alpha collections are available exclusively at DFS travel stores.
