“Alpha” Expected to be Tumi’s Best Selling Line in 2008
April 1st 2008---“Alpha” the new line by Tumi, an international brand of luxury travel items, will be in stores. “Alpha”, according to a Tumi spokesperson, will feature a distinctive black on black design, it will be lighter weight than their other luggage lines (due to improvements in material, construction, and overall design) and it will feature soft FXT ballistic nylon that will make this line extremely luxurious to the touch. “This is expected to be Tumi’s best selling line in 2008 as it replaces the Generation 4 series that is their best selling line currently. I personally expect it to do even better than the Generation 4 because it returns Tumi to its traditional look.” says Logan Howe, Vice President and luggage buyer for Sharon Luggage and Gifts
Mr. Howe has been with Sharon Luggage & Gifts for 29 years and is acknowledged by the National Luggage Dealers Association for his expertise in the luggage industry. When describing Mr. Howe, Sienna Wyniemko, Buyer’s Assistant for Sharon Luggage and Gifts, says “Logan is a very conservative buyer. He examines every aspect of a piece before deciding whether the quality of the piece meets the Sharon Luggage standard”.
According to Mr. Howe, Sharon Luggage has been a retailer of Tumi products since its inception 33 years ago. He says the reason he has continued the relationship for such a long time is “they continue to lead the industry with innovation and style”. Tumi has been in the luggage business since 1975 and like Sharon Luggage, they pride themselves on the quality of their products. Mr. Howe says that some of the key features that separate Tumi products from other vendor’s products are “the stylishness of the products as well as the quality of their luggage”.
