The Alpha Collection from Tumi Luggage

April 9th, 2008

Tumi luggage introduced the new Alpha collection of luggage and briefcases on April 1, 2008. Alpha is the classic modern Tumi collection. You can spot it immediately by the leather rectangle monogram patch. Monogramming is the easiest way to identify your luggage and your briefcase as “yours” and it’s permanent. The Alpha collection of luggage is also lighter weight because of improved materials and construction. The ballistic nylon is also softer and the styles are less structured. Additionally, there’s more leather on the touch points. You’ll find leather at all zipper ends, and on the handle wraps. Zippered expansion is featured on select carry on luggage pieces and push button, pop-up expansion is featured on all larger packing cases. The briefcases now have add-a-bag sleeves to slide over telescoping luggage handles. The computer cases have new laptop padding which uses linear design foam to cradle the computer. A ballistic accessory pouch is included with the computer cases. For your convenience, you’ll find handy waterproof pockets for water bottles or umbrellas and file folder gussets for organizing paperwork. Of course, the Tumi Alpha collection has the popular Tumi Tracer program, and the generous warranty.
