4.0 out of 5 stars Good bag so far..., May 5, 2010

This is a great looking bag. I've only had it a few months but it is definitely a sturdy piece of luggage. The quality of its craftsmanship is far superior to Samsonite or Ricardo luggage. Some of the nicer Swiss Army and Briggs & Riley luggage are the only bags that are really as nice and simple as this one.

Unfortunately, it is slightly large for Southwest Airline's fleet of 737s to put the bag in "handle first." The bag must be put sideways which draws a little ire from other travelers (A-list means I never have to worry about space, though). And it's not like I ever bring more than one luggage and my computer bag, unlike some people. It will fit in United and AA's overhead bins straight in(not sure which planes).

Overall, I'd say for the price it might not be worth it. However, if you travel enough and could have over $1000 worth of clothes and shoes in your bag, you might as well spend a little to keep them safe.

One slightly troubling issue I noticed was that my telescoping handle was defective and required a little manipulating to close. The little knobs that stick out to keep the handle up weren't closing properly. So that was shipped in for warranty service. For a $600 bag, you'd think there'd be better quality control. Anyway, I got the bag back and it now has a different handle with grey Tumi lettering on the button and grey (not red) Tumi lettering on the outer bezel of the handle receptacle (on the back of the bag).

I've traveled extensively with this suitcase and recently replaced with a new 22" Tumi after the old one fell out of the back of a pickup truck and was run over by a semi (long story). Good for an overnight trip or as a heavy hauler. The 22" Tumi does it all.

Lovely bag from a design and durability look and feel, but after 3 trips, the handle is stuck in the down position. Tumi's warranty is disappointing at a mere one year "worry free." I haven't sent the bag back for repair yet.
