[Closed] Bags again - Tumi but not Tumi

[#9656503]

So the strap on my Goat leather satchel STW recommendation broke.

As tempted as I am by brown leather (I'm in Sales), I quite like this: http://www.globalluggage.co.uk/brands/tumi/tumi-alpha-bravo-brooks-slim-brief-28cm#

... although I don't want to pay the price of that.

Whats out there?

That looks pretty naff. Can you not get the strap on your current bag repaired?

Well it is made of anti ballistic material and contains a personal chip so it can be identified and returned from anywhere in the world.

But I digress. Yes I'd like to get my strap repaired. The end metal bit has failed - the clip pulled away from the retainer on the strap - but where does one go for this?

Find a 'traditional' shoe repairer; they're pretty good with small fiddly repairs to luggage etc.
Timpsons is not your friend.

As for new, check the Case luggage website.
I like Tumi but the price.....
CF suggested Billingham - i thought they specialised in camera bags - probably wrong.

I take it back, it's not naff and gimmicky, it's actually the coolest bag I've seen and I'm going to ask my mum to buy me it for Christmas.

I hope me and the team get caught up in a fire fight on our next business trip abroad, I'll be able to use my Tumi as a shield. Employee of the year award beckons. 😉

Get yer sen into town and visit a cobbler, they should be able to fix your bag.

Samsonite ? This bag is £80. I like Tumi but won’t pay their prices for a bag that’s going to get chucked around on the train or strapped to a Boris bike.

Never seen the appeal of Tumi..... they look like the sh*t bags you get given with your laptop at work, but are 10x the price.
