16 Best Tumi Early Black Friday Deals 2025

Here are things I know to be true: Water is wet, fire is hot, and Tumi makes a damn good suitcase. Sure, that last part may sound like an opinion, but remember: I’m someone who owns 36 wheeled suitcases,  tests luggage professionally, and has been using Tumi suitcases for 18 years, so if you can’t trust me, who can you trust?

In fact, if I had a dollar for every time I recommended the brand when questioned, I’d have more than enough cash… to buy myself yet another Tumi suitcase. In fact, I’m always looking for another opportunity to expand my collection; I’ve been monitoring the site constantly—and I can confidently say that now is the best time to shop, as I’ve sniffed out savings of up to 40 percent during the brand’s unofficial early Black Friday sale. 

Whether you’re in the market for a new investment piece for yourself or thinking about holiday gifts for a lucky loved one, I’ve got you covered. I was especially shocked to see the iconic black suitcases that I spot on every flight marked down in a rare sale, along with a chic aluminum clutch—one of my most commented-on possessions—that can be yours for $330 off for a limited time. Find my favorite 16 handpicked early Tumi Black Friday deals below—these deals won’t last.

Tumi Alpha International Dual Access 4 Wheeled Carry-on

Tumi

If I can just recommend one suitcase, this tops my list as it’s a newer version of the classic bag I treated myself to 18 years ago. It was named one of the best suitcases we ever tested at Travel + Leisure; I clobbered it with a baseball bat and shoved it from a counter to prove the durability of its trademark ballistic nylon before flying it around the world with a removable garment sleeve packed with dresses and blazers alike. I’m surprised to see this style on sale in black (along with the slightly larger dual-access carry-on), both rare discounts from the brand. Now I can’t be the only one who urgently needs something from her carry-on while already at the gate, right? A front-access point lets us grab sweaters packed on top while the suitcase stays upright and fully zipped—chilly airport lounge, begone.

Tumi Alpha Continental Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-on

Tumi

If you’re someone who likes to return with more than you left home with, chances are you’re looking for expandable luggage, and this suitcase is nearly $200 off now. Tumi’s continental suitcases are wider than the international versions, making them a better—and bigger—bet if you’re pushing that capacity to the max. While technically larger than most posted airline size requirements, not only have I never had issues flying with this bag, it’s the one I most frequently spot accompanying my fellow first-class passengers. This suitcase expands up to 2 additional inches if you’d rather check—or you can pack it to the brim and sit on it, using the expandable zippers like a makeshift compression system to get it back down to a more compact shape.

Tumi Voyageur Just in Case Tote

Tumi

I can’t remember the last time I flew and I didn’t pack this. It’s the size of a paperback when folded, but opens up to a massive tote that can hold my crossbody bag, plus a smaller personal item, and all the snacks I want to bring on board. With its fully zippered top, the tote also ideally holds open-top bags like my raffia beach tote that looks cute in the airport but less so when half its contents would be rolling down the aisle at the first bout of turbulence. Three colorways are marked down 30 percent now, also including a red-and-white design that looks like a classic takeout bag, while solid alternatives like copper, wine, and light mauve are marked down 20 percent instead. As a bonus, if you’re someone who misplaces pouches when not in use, this one snaps into the unfolded tote to serve as an internal zippered pocket instead.

Tumi 19 Degree Frame Extended Trip 4 Wheeled Packing Case

Tumi

Launching in 2024, the Frame collection features polycarbonate suitcases with double-locking latches to offer the sleek zipperless look of aluminum luggage, minus the hefty weight. My favorite is this large, 88-liter checked bag, which is 30 percent off now, but there’s a smaller 60-liter checked case along with international– and continental-sized carry-ons, all for the same discount in the same pearly gray shade. Every size has two fully zipped halves, so if you didn’t weigh your luggage before leaving home—pro tip: buy a scale—your unmentionables won’t end up on the airport floor at check-in.

Tumi Belden Earbud Charm Case

Tumi

Call this the No. 1 thing I never knew I always needed. The studded leather earbuds case can’t promise you’ll never lose your tech, but it’s a step in the right direction. There’s also an opening at the bottom so you can charge your Apple AirPods without removing them and a carabiner to add to a key loop or bag strap, as desired. This went straight on my holiday wishlist—ideally paired with a chic coordinating Dey Trunk Crossbody, which is also 30 percent off now. Santa, take note. 

Tumi Alpha Bravo Search Backpack

Tumi

While I’m personally partial to Tumi suitcases and smaller bags, I have to give credit to their backpack range. If someone you love is looking for the perfect work-bag-turned-personal-item, text them this link immediately. There are so many pockets they just may misplace their wallet (inside), plus tech support will be pleased by the padded laptop section, too. There’s even a top slip-in pocket to fit a phone, easy enough to navigate while the bag is still on their back. Save $206 on the bold cobalt color, or pick a more subtle blue marked down $131. This bag is big enough to hold spare gym clothes or an outer layer, or there’s a similar slimmed-down style for 30 percent off as well.

Tumi 19 Degree Lite International 4 Wheeled Carry-on

Tumi

Have nightmares about gate agents that always want to measure your luggage, especially when traveling internationally? Well, I can’t cure that, but this is my top recommendation to put your mind (somewhat) at ease before you even leave home. At just over 6 pounds (and well within most posted carrier sizing), the suitcase is part of the 19 Degree Lite collection, released earlier this year. While the exact graphite bag I own is not discounted, blue-gray pavement is pretty close and marked down for a limited time only. Now, I very rarely check a bag, but if I did, the larger version of this lightweight suitcase with a whopping 100 liters of space would be first on my list, coming in the same pavement blue or red wine shades, both 20 percent off, too.

Tumi Alpha Hanging Travel Kit

Tumi

Looking for a Dopp kit for that man in your life who is committed to tossing whatever skincare he does use into a raggedy plastic bag? This case keeps his things sorted and stashed with seven zippered pockets, and hangs on a towel rack to keep the counter clear. Plus, this black bag with “Tumi Red” accents—yes, the brand has its own Pantone shade—is only available for a limited time as part of the 50th anniversary celebration in 2025. No promises on whether you also need to stock it full of products to complete his holiday gift this season as well. I’m not a miracle worker.

Tumi Alpha Short Trip Expandable 4 Wheeled Packing Case

Tumi

You’ll have to take my word for it, but this suitcase is so durable, we sat on it and wheeled each other around the office. The 83-liter checked bag is 20 percent off now in black and navy, as is the massive 126-liter size. Both are equally durable, as my stomps below show, so rogue baggage handlers will finally meet their match. The suitcases expand up to 2 inches, which, on luggage this size, can amount to a couple of days’ worth of clothes, especially if you’re a careful packer with compression cubes.

Tumi Alpha Double Expansion Travel Satchel

Tumi

While I love classic black Tumi bags, I’m always impressed by their limited-edition colorways, and this NYC-inspired graffiti print is no exception. Take advantage of the 30-percent markdown to snatch one up for someone you love, or you can still save 20 percent on solid black, black and red, or navy blue. This satchel makes a solid gym bag that doubles as an overnight option, as the roomy main compartment is perfect for a medium packing cube, plus an exterior slip and zip pocket keeps your small items separated. I’ve seen it easily fit under the seat when not expanded, or you can use the two zippers to add even more room before stashing it in the overhead. 

Tumi 19 Degree Aluminum Minaudiere

Tumi

When it comes to the Tumi item I’m most questioned about, it’s definitely this aluminum purse. I own it in matte black and silver, which are both 30 percent off now, as is the rose gold hue. I love the included slim leather wallet, so I don’t need to pack my normal one, and the case still fits my iPhone, keys, lip gloss, and other essentials. I like to carry it as a clutch, but you can swap on one of two included straps (chain or leather) if you prefer the crossbody style instead. It’s like a baby suitcase I can bring out at night.

Tumi Voyageur Léger International Expandable Carry-on

TUMI

If you’re firmly on team fabric on the softside versus hardside debate, here’s the Tumi bag for you. It still offers a deceptive amount of space for its size (41 liters), and expands up to 2.25 inches, perfect for tucking away the winter coat you won’t need once you land in a tropical holiday destination (jealous). I’ve closely examined a smaller version as part of our underseat luggage tests, and loved its multiple entry points and zippered pockets galore. I also think the gold hardware, coupled with the burgundy hue, is such an upgrade to a classic black bag, even if your actual upgrade didn’t clear.

Tumi Georgica Valorie Tote

Tumi

Totes are my preferred bag type, and I’ve amassed quite the collection to coordinate with all my outerwear this season. Because I own both bold and neutral coats, this taupe hue is a chameleon that complements brown, black, navy, and even cream—and it’s $280 off now. I always pack my laptop in a separate case, so I don’t need a padded pocket, but I do appreciate the key leash and three internal pockets to keep my small items neatly tucked away. If you want something with a bit more flair, find this same shade with whipstitch and fringe details, or a soft pink instead.

Tumi McLaren Aero International Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-on

Tumi

I can’t guarantee you’ll make it to your gate with the speed of Lando, but you can zoom off like an F1 driver with this McLaren collection. The suitcase not only has automotive-inspired carbon fiber accents, but the compression straps are designed to mimic the car brand’s seatbelt style. If your loved one’s travels take him to the rat race versus the racetrack, the removable suiter is ideal to fit his professional garb. I’d personally pair the newly discounted carry-on with a Tumi McLaren sling bag and a matching checked suitcase, both 30 percent off now, too. You’ll come in first, second, and third if you pop all three under the tree. 

Tumi Belden Flap Card Case

Tumi

I adore a small wallet because I also love a tiny purse, or no purse at all—that’s what pockets are for. This case has two card sleeves, which can each fit a couple of cards or folded bills, and there’s also a zippered compartment for coins or even a key. Tumi released limited-edition gold items for their 50th anniversary in 2025, so once this is gone, you’ll never see the exact item again. Did I mention it’s 40 percent off, too?!

Tumi 19 Degree Extended Trip Expandable 4 Wheeled Packing Case

Tumi

Unlike the latched Frame collection, the classic 19 Degree Polycarbonate line has zippers (but also an average lower weight). While the taupe “moon rock” color is the most subtle, the rich wine, spice red, and textured mauve also caught my eye—and they’re all 20 percent off. These large checked suitcases not only expand up to two inches, but there’s a built-in hanger bracket if you want to fold longer garments separately before closing the zippered half. If you’re stuck on team carry-on only (like me), the same four shades are marked down in the slim carry-on size, too.
