I purchased a $200+ Tumi backpack for my son to use for school. The first backpack lasted 1 month before a shoulder strap broke. The replacement lasted 1 month before the shoulder strap broke. The next replacement lasted 3 weeks before the shoulder strap broke.

Tumi's response to this problem was to send the bag in for "evaluation." I ended up eating the cost of the Tumi and had to buy another backpack for my son...which at 1/4 of the cost of a Tumi is holding up just fine.

I will never buy a Tumi ANYTHING again.
