TUMI’s travel and lifestyle products in use today have been worn with pride for more than a decade. This is due to the brand’s steadfast commitment to developing products that last, including purposefully engineering reparability into the product design, so they can be carried even longer. Today, TUMI announced the launch of its new collection made with recycled materials. The brand has been thoughtfully sustainable from a longevity design ethos since its origin, but now TUMI is challenging itself to be more innovative throughout the entire product life cycle..

Over the years, TUMI has explored several environmentally friendly materials and, to date, haven’t found one that meets the brand’s quality and testing standards. TUMI is now putting recycled nylon to the test. With TUMI’s new Recycled Capsule, the brand has found a balance of recycled and virgin materials, thus bringing a bag made from 70% recycled content to market that will support and endure TUMI customers’ journeys. This is the first time that recycled materials have met TUMI’s rigorous standards and is a first step in the brand’s continued material exploration process. TUMI remains committed to pushing beyond our industry’s limits and offering quality, innovation and sustainability to customers.
