This auction is for three pieces of luggage in Tumi's exclusive, abrasion- and water-resistant FXT ballistic nylon. I paid more than $1100 for them in 2002.
The 22-inch "wheel-away" suitcase is a Tumi classic with in-line skate wheels and a telescoping handle made of aircraft-grade aluminum. It has a zip-in garment sleeve, two front pockets. There are two snap-in zippered accessories pockets and a removable garment sleeve. An add-a-bag hook allows you to carry a second bag on the front. No expandable gusset. A zipper tab on the wheeled carry-on was long ago lost in transit, but I have never felt the need to replace it since it has a double zipper. Measures 14 inches wide by 22 inches high by 10 inches deep. Style No. 2243.
The accessory satchel is handy for your inflight needs and is easily stowed under most airline seats. It has an outside front pocket, padded inner compartment, three interior pockets plus a removable cosmetic bag, elasticized bottle loops. Comfortably padded clip-on shoulder strap. Zippers on the back open so that you can slide it over the handle of the wheeled suitcase. This satchel is also missing one of its zipper pulls but, again, I haven't missed it. Measures 15 inches wide by 11 inches high by 8 inches deep. Style No. 261.
I bought the expandable suitcase because I got tired of fighting stairs with a wheeled bag. I prefer this bag to the wheelie when I'm traveling light. It's also a convenient second bag on a shopping excursion. The expansion gusset adds five inches to the suitcase. This bag also has a padded clip-on shoulder strap. Measures 22 inches wide, 15 inches high, 10 inches deep unexpanded or 15 inches deep when expanded. Style No. 278.
Though all bags have been used, they are exceptionally clean. There are some scuffs on the outside but no rips. All seams are intact, all zippers work smoothly. The interiors are pristine. All straps and accessories are included together with two Tumi luggage tags and the original Tumi locks. The monogram patch on the rolling suitcase has been removed, though the patches remain on the expandable suitcase and accessory bag. These are easy to replace with your own monogram or a plain black patch.
These bags can be nested, which will reduce the shipping size. But please bear in mind that the combined weight is more than 20 lbs. USPS Parcel Post and UPS Ground provide the lowest rates though they take a bit longer. Please use the shipping calculator to determine your actual shipping cost before placing your bid. Please do not bid if you feel the shipping is too high.
