Customer Reviews Tumi Alpha 2 - Medium Travel Tote

I like this bag because it is not too big. I find most tote bags too bulky making them hard to shoulder or get over the other luggage handle. This is structured well, so it can stand up and has an amazing amount of room inside. I mainly use it cross-body. This would work for either men or women.

Great shape and size for today's cramped life style. Larger than a manbag, yet smaller than a full size bag. Just the right size to carry most things. However, Tumi has skimped egregiously on some of the most important details! This bag is noticeably lighter than previous bags of the same size so if Weight savings was a goal they succeeded. However some of the areas they skimped on scream profit over quality. Each of the two handles has a leather piece down halfway around making for a cheap looking and awkward feeling when holding it. The bottom front pocket doesn't have a gussetted side piece to allow more room. Instead even when empty thst pocket is a tight squeeze. More relief material would have. Been nice. The new embossed leather looks cheap and is most noticeable when you put this bag on the seat of high end luxury car. The size and convenience of this bag are great but it has poor usability given the areas they cheaper out on. This bag was made in the Dominican Republic and the interior pockets are of noticeably cheaper fabric and construction from years past
