I bought the international sized one in 2012 and it still looks brand new. I am not even remotely exaggerating. It is gorgeous, lightweight, fits every OH space with ease, and drives like a dream. And, it does not say “Tumi” on it. I can’t recommend it more. In fact, I would rank it in my top 5 all time best purchases.

Worth it, even at full price. I also got mine in navy blue, it still looks (and works) great after four years of very heavy use. Super light, rolls great, the expand/collapse function works super well. Also got the international size - really like the shape for packing and have had zero trouble with US airlines (that was my one worry when picking the international size vs domestic, but I figured non-US airlines tend to be stricter on bags, and it has been a non-issue). Like BAH1 said, it fits in every OH… with the exception of some regional jets, but that will be true of almost every bag.

Is there anything more satisfying than the clicking sound and feel when you press the expandable down to compact it?

Love my baseline. Thing is bulletproof, it slid down a massive escalator and is fine.

Compared to what? Using a black garbage bag to carry stuff around? Yes, it is :)

I love mine, got it in blue and get lots of compliments. Lifetime warranty is unbeatable. If you’re not in a rush, they usually have some good sales, think mine was 30% off but during peak COVID they were like 50% off.

I think I got mine during Memorial Day if I remember correctly - but they were having super random ones during Covid

I prefer Rimowa

Great brand too but Different price points

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

So I keep applying for leadership roles (supervisor and manager level). Keep making it to final interviews and I am not chosen. The feedback I get is they were very impressed with my interviews and they forward my resume to there colleagues for another leadership opportunity and I end up with the same results. They do include that they went with someone that had mgmt experience. The emails aren’t generic I may add. However I am not sure what else I can do to land a spot? Thoughts please!
