With a 30-year history of creating superior products for discerning professionals and frequent travelers, Tumi is recognized as the world’s leading brand of luxury travel, business and lifestyle accessories. Tumi’s success can be traced to its continual focus on its principles of design excellence, functional superiority and technical innovation.
Started in 1975, Tumi takes its name from a Peruvian god known to its founder from his Peace Corps days in South America. During the 1980′s, Tumi’s innovative introduction of soft, ultra-functional, black-on-black ballistic nylon travel bags catapulted the company to its current leadership position. Throughout the 1990′s, as product innovations continued in the wheeled luggage and business case categories, increasing numbers of consumers around the world chose Tumi’s unique blend of modern design and unparalleled performance.
Betty Hemmings Leathergoods was proud to be the first Tumi luggage dealer not only in Toronto but all of Canada more than 30 years ago. Now three decades later Betty Hemmings partnership with Tumi continues to be strong. In 2007 Betty Hemmings joined forces with Tumi to build the first Tumi store-in-store boutique in Betty Hemming’s flagship Toronto store. This alliance proved to be so successful that in 2011 a second Tumi store-in-store concept was built in Betty Hemming’s new Vancouver flagship store.  Betty Hemmings continues to carry the widest and largest assortment of Tumi luggage, Tumi briefcases and Tumi small leathergoods in Toronto and Vancouver. Furthermore Betty Hemmings is the recognized Tumi repair centre in both Toronto and Vancouver.
