With a 30-year history of creating superior products, T-Tech by TUMI is recognized as the world's leading brand of luxury travel, business and lifestyle accessories. TUMI's success can be traced to its continual focus on its principles of design excellence, functional superiority and technical innovation. Started in 1975, T-Tech by TUMI takes its name from a Peruvian god known to its founder from his Peace Corps days in South America. During the 1980's, TUMI's innovative introduction of soft, ultra-functional, black-on-black ballistic nylon travel bags catapulted the company to its current leadership position.Throughout the 1990's and present day T-Tech by TUMI has continued to increase the number of consumers around the world who chose the unique blend of modern design and unparalleled performance. From the smallest, case-hardened solid steel machine screw to our exclusive, virtually abrasion-proof FXT ballistic nylon fabric, each component is regarded if it were the most important. It means that our products are made from hundreds of custom-designed and engineered parts.
