Bag Fight
Tumi T3 owners are usually well traveled individuals... who don't check bags. In Boston's Logan airport on Monday night last week, a scene ensued over the first T3 bag off the belt. A woman intercepted the first T3 to appear and walked off with it assuming it was hers. Three other T3 owners who also believed the bag was theirs launched off after her, stopped her and literally ripped into the hidden ID pocket. Fortunately it was mine.
Two lessons here: 1) Time for a large unique luggage tag so no one will unthinkingly grab my bag again, and 2) Time for me to stop checking my bag. I'm opting for #2. Now if I could just find some powdered toothpaste...
It is time for a new bag. I'm wedging the "balancing bar" behind the broken metal tab to keep it from flopping around and it's a challenge now for me to get the bar flipped up again when I need to use it... Laurence?! I'm ready to test (and blog) the LXT! (Which I happily note doesn't have a balancing bar!)

"Time for a large unique luggage tag so no one will unthinkingly grab my bag again"
-There are a number of tags on the market now meant for this exact purpose. Check out this link: http://www.luggagepros.com/supercat_Travel--Accessories/cat_Luggage--Tags/mfgr_all/index.shtml

This is a bad bag, because of the terrible handle design. I have this bag and many other Tumi's and the swivelling feature to the handle has made this bag unusable for me. Carrying it up stairs with anything in your hands makes is next to impossible.
This is why I bought the T-Tech in flame - an bright crazy orange color. I have never ran into another set of flame colored Tumi at the airport or otherwise. Only problem is keeping them clean.
Tumi should put out new limited edition colors every 3 months and never use them again. Keep black for the boring.
And on that point, how about a bag membership program. Let me subscribe with a monthly fee and let me trade them in and get new ones every six months.
Hi Mark,
I may have an unusual request, but I am going to put it out there anyway. I work for a Dutch consulting company and in November we are organising two consumer sessions on luxury luggage. I am looking for participants for these sessions with an opinion on this matter. Judging from your blog you are exactly what I am looking for, and I would like to get in contact with you. I hope you are interested.
For those of you who are reading in, and feel attracted to this subject please don't hesitate to mention this.
Mark I hope to hear from you!
Regards
