Quote from Coconutz0311 :
B&R will repair your bag at any time even if the airport causes damage, even if you are the third owner and bought it off fleabay. True anytime, anywhere, for any reason, lifetime warranty. Their products also can easily be personalized on their leather tags, and they will do it for free even if you didn't order it that way.

Your words in bold suggest B&R are not used worldwide. Everything I've heard has suggested Tumi is not what it used to be. I'm sure it's a nice product though. Not trying to put it down. How do I bold that last part, oh well.
Another + for B & R. I have two of their bags and one Tumi bag. Quality is similar in both (although b&R is slightly more subdued in style). If I'm traveling within the US for work - I'll take Tumi. If I'm international - I'll take B&R.

Tumi has more style, but B&R is definitely the better buy.

I have this and don't recommend it. Way too heavy for any type of traveling. If you're going from just your car to office that might just be all.

Gray color for cheaper at Nordstrom Rack site. Doesn't have the leather part on the front for initials though.

That is a made for outlet version and notably lower quality. You can tell because it lacks the monogram plate. The made for outlet luggage models typically have cheaper wheels, zippers, liners, etc.

Own this. Paid close to $600 but had to when my backpack broke at the airport overseas and only the Tumi store was open 🙄. Holds way more than you would expect. Durable. Main drawback is the weight. The thing is heavy even before putting anything inside. Good price compared to retail.
Does it have a pass through at the back so you can put it on top of a rolling luggage securely.

Early in my sales career I switched to Tumi after wearing out a series of briefcases on frequent overseas trips. I believe I'm up to only my second brief, having added the backpack about 5 years ago. The backpack is classy enough for the boardroom and wears just as tough as the briefcases (in ballistic nylon). I'm not a big brand pusher honestly. But these are admired - flight attendant says "Sir, thank you for switching to the bulkhead seat - may I take your bag?" I grab tablet and hand over the Tumi... "Oooh nice, I need a new backpack" Smilie

At that price point I would rather spend the $400+ bucks on a way ticket to Bangkok and carry my clothes in a trash bag.

I have the Tumi Alpha ballistic Nylon luggage and it has lasted me over 10 years and looks like new. Got it when united airlines store was offering 20k united miles for each of the luggage during a sale. Picked up 4 of them for 80k miles total. 2 of them was 22"x14"x9" and the other 2 was 22"x16"x9" Very durable. I would not pay almost $1k each for them tho.

I got one. I think it has a design flaw in that it can't sit upright. The tilting forward is freaking annoying especially with laptop in it and the shit falls to the floor when placed on a chair or table. Mine was a gift as I would never pay big dolla for somethang like this.
It's a backpack. I would never put a backpack on dirty floor. Gross. Well, maybe a hiking backpack but I'd be gross then too. But, agree on $. I wouldn't pay big $ either. I bought one at the outlet and the other was outlet priced at the Nord. annual sale. Of course this is SD. I doubt any of us pay full retail for anything.
