They’re built to last and effortlessly polished, perfect for the office or a day in the park.”—Alexandra Hildreth, fashion news editor

Our team swears by Tumi’s high-quality luggage, so when this sleek duffel popped up, we had to add it to the mix. It’s the perfect size for weekend getaways or overflow travel needs.
