Certainly the more recognized brand in the US. But one thing is recognizing the brand, the other thing is quickly recognizing the bag as belonging to said brand. Black Tumi looks like anything else made of nylon almost. Rimowa alu luggage looks like expensive luggage and really pops out. I mean you don't need to know the brand to know that this is good stuff. Even the Limbo and Salso lines are easily recognized and look flashier than many Tumi bags.

For a black Tumi a "villain" would almost have to check the label. A Rimowa he can spot from 200m and prepare a little "alone time" with your suitcase.

I really like what the German TSA equivalent does. When they open your suitcase it has a two-page form with TWO real signatures and the names of the people who opened your luggage spelled out in clear. It will also tell you what caught their suspicion and if anything at all has been removed.

That's what I call good accountability. Yet, we were talking about garment bags initially.
