TUMI 19 DEGREE CARRY ON LUGGAGE

₹59,000 / tumi.in

It’s overkill for occasional travel – but if you’re a frequent flyer, this very smart cabin case is a classy travel companion. Its 38-litre capacity is impressive for such a small and lightweight case, plus it’s smartly designed, extremely strong and beautifully made.

The built-in compression straps lets you stuff in more clothes without creasing them beyond recognition… but best of all, there’s a USB port for charging your smartphone around the sides. It also has a anti-microbial coated lining, while four wheels mean it moves smoothly across those airport car parks.

Snappy handles

Ever had your handle smacked by the airport luggage belt? Well this aircraft-grade aluminum handle has an impact-absorbing structure around telescoping handle tubes.

Lost and found

There’s a special number plate on the side that is connected to your contact information so Tumi can track your bag if you happen to have a few extra sips before taking off. The Tumi Tracer is free of charge and works internationally.

Strong strong guardin’

Looks can be deceptive. This cheeky little zip puller is designed to break free from the zipper if it is ever caught in a tug. This means you don’t have to worry about the zipper, just replace the puller.
