There are things in life worth waiting for (showing off at high school reunions with fancy cars and a hot date) and there are things that are not (showing off with fancy luggage). And yet, Tumi being the luggage magicians they are have found a way to deliver the appeal of vintage distressed leather (like the jacket your old man wears that you’ve been coveting for decades but will never have) in a time table that doesn’t require you to wait until you’re getting welfare checks. Enter the new Alpha Bravo Collection. Lightweight , full-grain brown leather is burnished (this is pretty much magic to us) to give it that worn-in “vintage” feel and then it’s turned into one of seven possible bags. There’s a messenger for those Indiana Jones days, two totes for those weekend long beer runs, and a duffel and backpack for everything else.
