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.

Wheeled duffels are great for traveling. Students have been using them for years. What do they know? Well, they know that duffels are generally lighter in weight than regular Pullman cases. Therefore, they can take more and avoid any overage fees imposed by the airlines. Duffels are also unstructured, so it’s easier to stuff more into them. They also take up less room when they’re not in use. Some of them like the model made by Prolite are “double deckers.” That means you can pack dressier clothing, or all of your shoes and cosmetics, or your dirty laundry on the way home, on the bottom layer of the luggage. It’s totally separate from the main compartment. The balance of your clothing can be packed in the top section. This Prolite duffel has internal flaps that keep the top section open and structured while you pack. They fold down completely after use so the duffel will remain flat for storage. Other models of duffels offer lots of organization on the inside of the bag as well as the outside. They also zip completely down, so you can see and view everything in the duffel. No need to rummage around inside the bag with this feature. Skyway, Vera Bradley and Athalon share this great feature. All of the wheeled duffels feature inline skate wheels and a locking push or pull handle. Packing is really a breeze in these handy pieces. You won’t believe how much can be packed inside these soft sided wheeled duffels. Compression straps inside will keep everything neatly in one place. Now you know why duffles are great to travel with.

According to the Washington Post, Delta airlines has announced enforcement of carry on luggage restrictions on international flights. You can carry on one personal item, and one carry on that weighs no more than 40 pounds. Additionally, the dimentions of the carry on must not exceed 45 inches. Usually sizing is 22″ x 14″ x 8″. Some of the expandable models will go over the 45″ linear sizing, so do not use that feature for your international flights on Delta. Additionally, beware of over stuffing the case! Delta is planning to put a red tag on bags meeting ths standards, and no bags will be checked without the red tag. For more information, you can go to delta.com. Remember, there is a large selection of carry on luggage that is very lightweight. Some of the lightest weight bags available are from Mosaic L Series, Prolite, Swiss Army Werks 3.0, Tumi T-tech, Briggs & Riley, and Vera Bradley. Weighing less than ten pounds to begin with, you’d have to pack more than 30 pounds of clothing to be overweight in any of these! Remember, you cannot carry liquids or gels in your carry on either, except in the 3-1-1, TSA approved clear plastic case with bottles of less than three ounces. You can check at tsa.gov for more rules and regulations regarding airline travel regulations. Many of the carry on luggage pieces have an attachable matching carry tote, that can be used as your personal bag. These slip over the pull up handle of the carry on, making wheeling and transporting through busy airport terminals easy and efficient. All of your important papers, jewelry, medications, etc., can be carried in this personal bag, along with a good book to read and a snack! No need to carry when you are going to gate 45 in concourse K. It’s much easier and safer to keep everything together and wheel!

Vera Bradley Luggage is not just another pretty face! It’s designed to withstand all the rigors of travel and to do it in style. The luggage is available in Java Blue, Mesa Red and Signature Black. Fabrics are abrasion tested, tightly woven micro PolyCord material, which repels water and oil based spills. These fabrics will look new longer and travel well. The interiors are 100% quilted cotton in the Vera Bradley patterns that complement the outside pattern. There’s sidebound construction and sturdy Bengaline piping which protects the zippers and the corners and edges. The in-line skate wheel system has steel ball bearings. The wheels are quiet and effortless, whether rolling through busy airports or on the street looking for a taxi.
The Pullman cases in 21” carry on luggage size or 26” have floating dividers for packing efficiency. You can pack clothing on hangers in the top section, and everything below in the bottom section. There’s also a matching shoe cover to elegantly protect your clothing. These cases also have a hidden add-a-bag strap which will connect another smaller bag or briefcase or laptop to the case. This allows you to wheel two or more cases with one hand. There are lots of zippers and pockets to keep you organized and to make packing and unpacking easy.
Each piece comes complete with a leather luggage tag. We monogram the tag on luggage purchased here free of charge. This assists you in identifying your luggage. Vera Bradley Luggage comes with a lifetime limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship. As can be expected, this does not cover normal wear with use over time, and does not cover damage by a common carrier. All warranty repairs are done here for your convenience when the luggage was purchased at Village Luggage and Gifts.

The luggage is also lightweight in keeping with all of the new airline requirements and restrictions. The 21″ “WheelAboard” carry on case weights less than 10 lbs. All of the Pullmans have a two-compartment construction with a patented floating divider that allows you to hang jackets or dresses or use the compartment to separate different types of clothing. The Pullmans also include a matching shoe case to protect your clothes.
There is a rolling wardrobe carrier available as part of the collection. The case hangs from double over-the-door hooks for ease of packing and use. No need to unpack this case either. There’s a pocket for everything, with removable see-through pockets for cosmetics and other essentials. There’s a padded extender panel for longer garments. Virtually any hanger type will lock securely in place on the “Wally clamp” inside the bag. There are six mesh pockets which hold folded clothes and accessories. For shorter trips, there’s a 48″ long folding garment carrier without wheels. This is an ideal size for weekends or shorter trips.
Two of the most popular pieces available are the rolling tote and rolling duffle. The Vera Bradley tote will attach to the top of any of the Pullman pieces allowing you to roll just “one set.” It has multi pockets inside and is the perfect size to carry on a tour when they require a 17″ size. It has extra zippered pockets, which are handy for jewelry, glasses and all of those important papers. The rolling duffle is totally soft, but with the added feature of wheels. This will roll easily down an airplane aisle, fit virtually anywhere because of the soft construction, and is the weekend piece of choice with many women both young and old. It also has zippered pockets on the outside as well as the inside and is very lightweight.
Vera Bradley luggage also has a lifetime-limited warranty that the product is free from defects in material and workmanship.
