Happy Shopping!

real sale???
I was in the Tumi Outlet in Riverhead LI this past week... most of the bags were 25% off the price tag
does anyone know if this $50 is instead of the % sale or on top of it?
in all cases, 25% off would be better than $50 off an order over $250

The way the OP has formulated it, semantically it means it's on top of a given percentage discount. There is a price per product. Then there is discount from that price. If the final price is over $250 another $50 are subtracted for every tranche of 250. So if your total bill is $500 after discounts, you'd get another $100 off.

However, the 25% off sale was not marked on each item -- it was on framed plastic signage that could easily be put away or changed. There was no guarantee that such sale would continue.
I'm trying to find out if this is a new sale that supplements the existing one or whether it replaces the existing (better) sale.

Outlet pricing changes all the time, so there's no way to tell if they will increase the price you saw to cover the discount. What was one price this week may be twice as much next week, and something else may be 80% less.
Part of the fun of shopping the Tumi outlets is you never ever know what things will be priced at, even if you go in every other week. I've always been convinced at some interval they just go item to item after the store closed with a big wheel and spin it to see what random price to put on something for opening the next day.

Lots of good questions. The fact that I have some of the answers tells me I spend too much time at the Tumi outlets.
Price changes are weekly. They are sent to the stores Tuesday evenings and run for a week.
The save $50 for every $250 is based on price marked. All items will have the normal ~20% discount from MSRP since the item is being sold at a outlet.
Some items will have the 25% discount from outlet price signs and a smaller number will have the 50% discount sign.
I hope that answers your questions.

I went to the Vacaville, CA, store. The only special item discount was for the Alpha Lightweight International 22902DH for $249. As I could not find anything else that I liked with an extra special price, I bought some cleaning fluid to pass the $250 mark, thus making the purchase eligible for $50 off.
As Nikon Shooter explained, everything else was pretty much the normal 20% or more off.

Tumi Voyageur @ TJ Maxx
I was just at the Wrentham Premium Outlets Tuesday and while there was the discount mentioned here, nothing else interesting was going on. The salesperson there did say that there is however going to be something extra this labor day weekend (probably on a few select items that no one would really be interested in).
@ TJ Maxx in Dedham, there are a few Tumi Voyageur 20.5" x 15" Legere rolling carry-ons, backpacks ($172), Enna Large Cosmetic ($69), and a brieftote in the burgundy, orange, cognac, teal, and 2 of their snakeskin colorways.
I think there may have been more in the crossbody bags but I didn't look in the handbag section.

I think the best deals will be the stuff they never mark down but I am happy to double dip if I see something I want discounted above and beyond the in-store rebate.

Thanks! ^
I was there late in the day and they were already swapping the signage for the new sale. I try to go late Tuesday if possible bc in most cases the store manager is willing to give you whichever discount is better
I'll probably have another look this weekend if the I95 isn't too much of a parking lot.

OP hosed at Tumi Outlet
I went to the Tumi Outlet in Sunrise, Florida while on vacation.
Bottom line--although the 50/250 special, this store decided not to participate.
The deal ends before I return back to Texas. ::Mad::
Hope everyone got some great deals!
