I've Used Tumi Luggage for 18 Years-and I've Never Seen Deals This Good Before Black Friday, Up to 40% Off

"Here are things I know to be true: Water is wet, fire is hot, and Tumi makes a damn good suitcase. Sure, that last part may sound like an opinion, but remember: I'm someone who owns 36 wheeled suitcases, tests luggage professionally, and has been using Tumi suitcases for 18 years, so if you can't trust me, who can you trust?"

"In fact, if I had a dollar for every time I recommended the brand when questioned, I'd have more than enough cash... to buy myself yet another Tumi suitcase. In fact, I'm always looking for another opportunity to expand my collection; I've been monitoring the site constantly-and I can confidently say that now is the best time to shop, as I've sniffed out savings of up to 40 percent during the brand's unofficial early Black Friday sale."

"If I can just recommend one suitcase, this tops my list as it's a newer version of the classic bag I treated myself to 18 years ago. It was named one of the best suitcases we ever tested at Travel + Leisure; I clobbered it with a baseball bat and shoved it from a counter to prove the durability of its trademark ballistic nylon before flying it around the world with a removable garment sleeve packed with dresses and blazers alike."

An experienced luggage tester and long-time Tumi user owns 36 wheeled suitcases and reports 18 years of Tumi use.
