SUSTAINABILITY
Innovative by Nature Responsible by Choice
TUMI products protect your belongings when you travel. Our planet is an astonishing place, and we believe it’s our responsibility to preserve it for travelers of the future. By putting excellence and quality first, we are committed to creating quality TUMI products that have lifelong purpose, supported by our rigorous testing standards, recycled materials and global repair network.

Built to Last

The most sustainable product is the one that lasts. Durability is paramount for every product including those made with recycled materials.

Recycled Material Innovation

Some of our key collections use recycled PET made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, recycled nylon and recycled polycarbonate. We have a goal to continuously increase our usage of recycled materials to lessen our impact on the planet.

Global Repair Network

If something goes awry, we'll fix it. If it breaks, we’ll repair it. This means extending the life of your luggage and keeping it out of landfill. We are working to further improve product sustainability by applying design innovation and circularity principles.
