Tumi Holdings Inc (Tumi) is a lifestyle company, predominantly selling travel and business products and accessories. It is a US based company, established in 1975 and with its headquarters in the state of New Jersey.

No, Tumi is not a Chinese company; it is an American luxury travel brand that is currently owned by a multi-national corporation headquartered in Luxembourg. Founded in 1975 by Charlie Clifford in New Jersey, USA, the company was named after a Peruvian ceremonial knife. Tumi became famous for its signature black-on-black ballistic nylon, which revolutionized the durability standards of high-end luggage. In 2016, Tumi was acquired by Samsonite International S.A. in a deal valued at roughly $1.8 billion. While Samsonite is a global giant with significant manufacturing and retail operations in China and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, its corporate roots and management are international, and Tumi maintains its design and brand identity as a premium American heritage label. In 2026, Tumi continues to be perceived as a status symbol in the Western business world, though it sources materials and assembles products in various global locations, including Asia and the Dominican Republic, to meet its high-volume international demand.
