I have been very pleased with my Tumi Crossbody Bag that I purchased on a whim at an airport baggage store over a year ago. Tumi is an upscale line baggage and handbag company based in USA, with an expensive price range. But after several years of buying similar types of bags, some in leather, I decided to upgrade. The one I purchased is actually referred to a Junior Crossbody and it came in a blue balistic vinyl color as seen below. This was my first introduction to the Tumi Crossbody bag lineup.
I has many different pockets with zipper areas as well as just slide in outside pocket for quick things to grab including your cellphone. The opposite side has a quick latch mechanism making it harder to open and steal contents from within. The always nice feature with Tumi is their ID Tracer system where each bag has a unique code assigned to it. This is registered within their website and then if the bag is lost or stolen, they can track it back to you, when it is found again. Although they used to offer a 5 year warranty, when Samsonite purchased them, it was removed. But Tumi still provides high quality finishes and durability. This is one of the many benefits of owning a Tumi Crossbody Bag.
Durable quality with Tumi means my Tumi Crossbody Bag does not show any signs of wear at all this time. A few features to mention are capacity, where I can put my small water bottle, cellphone, Go Pro Camera, and sunglasses case into the main zipper compartment. Then I have my wallet in a another zippered compartment within that big one, so essentially 2 zippers to get to it! A few small souveniers are also easily added in the outside latch pocket where there is also an area for a small notebook and pen. A key fob is also integrated, so you can easily attach your keys inside the bag. Of course the strap for cross body is fully adjustable and even a big man like myself is comfortable with the adjustment capability. This multifuncionality makes it a versatile Tumi Crossbody Bag.
Other Tumi Items
After this purchase, I have also added a few more small items like their Hanging Travel Kit and the Electronic Cord Pouch. The Hanging Travel Kit is finally a large enough dopp kit where I can comfortably include everything in that bag. The 2 side pockets allow my to put larger bottles of products standing up. Once again a few zipper pockets and holders keeps things very organized. The hanger feature is nice for those smaller bathrooms especially on cruise ships! My Tumi Crossbody bag inspired these additional purchases. Other Tumi Items
Free monogramming on certain products is a nice feature offered online in USA or in the store. It is something quite desirable with current Tumi Crossbody Bag owners.
Today i received my new Voyaguer Leger Compact Carryon that is going to replace a well used OE carryon. I am excited about its many features and I will blog about it once I have used it for a while. In conclusion, I have discovered that if you pay for quality products, you have them for a much longer period of time. Buy cheaper and you have to replace more often, so I would suggest you try a Tumi product soon! Consider starting with a Tumi Crossbody Bag or Dopp Kit for their style, durablility, and funcionality.
