Tumi has become a status symbol and not a practical or logical purchase. It doesn't offer better quality nor is cost justified considering you can get 2 bags of equal quality/appearance missing Tumi label which likely will last longer.
Every so often, someone publishes the comparison of name brand jeans vs. rack brand via Costco and appearance, quality and durability. With maturity and losing vanity - one begins to respect the non-brand owner vs. the brand (Tumi or whatever) with inferior quality.
