Anna Sui said "I find that most people have plain black suitcases that all look the same." She has therefore collaborated with Tumi, to create a range of luggage that incorporates her famous purple butterfly design.

According to Anna, “I have always thought that Tumi had amazing travel bags, so when the opportunity came about to collaborate on a collection with them, I jumped at the chance,” Sui explained. “To combine their construction and quality with my unique design aesthetic I thought would be a great union.  We are all thrilled with how the pieces turned out.”

We have two pieces from this range, available exclusively in Selfridges, Oxford Street. The Anna Sui, Tumi carry-on & the Anna Sui for Tumi, Tote bag.

Bending and blurring the lines between art and fashion, past and future, Anna Sui expresses her vision of freedom and beauty in this special collection of Tumi luggage. In collaboration with Tumi, Anna Sui brings these themes to life in range of bags that is perfect for any traveller. The butterfly, a signature Anna Sui motif, is the perfect reflection of her award-winning style. When paired with Tumi’s renowned quality, functionality and features, Anna Sui’s expressions become art that travels. The compact wheeled carry-on is ideal for international and domestic travel. Its 4-wheel system is easy to manoeuvre in any direction & it features a telescoping handle, retractable carry handle and custom floral print lining.

Over the past few weeks, we have had some queries from our customers with regards to certain products, brands or ranges. We would like to address some of them here, in case other people have the same questions.

Unfortunately, we are unable to sell Mulberry online. However, you can visit our stores in Bluewater, Guildford & Leeds to see our Mulberry ranges. We are excited about some new Mulberry pieces, the Bryn satchel which is the perfect day bag in a smaller size and the larger, carry-all. And also, the Mulberry Del-Ray bag. They are both coming to a Case Luggage store near you, very soon!

Tumi embarks on a next generation project with a groundbreaking collection by internationally renowned designer DROR BENSHETRIT.

DROR FOR TUMI represents the pinnacle of design innovation for this leading travel, business and lifestyle brand.

The range has been developed by award-winning designer Dror Benshetrit, the eleven-piece collection incorporates groundbreaking features that adapt for multiple uses and respond to the multifaceted lifestyle of today’s traveller. With several new patents pending—from design to materials—and a sophisticated new look, Tumi is once again poised to change the way we travel.

Eight of the bags transform in some way — expanding or literally changing shape to accommodate different functions or modes of use. The International Carry-On, the first-ever expandable zipper-less hard side, is a model of versatility and ingenious engineering. The revolutionary two-wheeled case allows for four different size options through a two-stage expansion via a “living hinge” that makes it possible to adjust the bag’s depth from 9 inches to 14 inches, increasing its overall capacity by 45%.

A highly versatile backpack easily shifts to a tote or brief, simply by adjusting the straps to carry by hand, on the back, or over the shoulder. A briefcase offers two bags in one—a workaday medium capacity bag slims down to a sleek, elegant case suitable for a slim laptop. Even the travel kit has been re-imagined for various packing and usage styles. When opened it can be packed flat or hung from a fixture; when closed it takes on a more traditional shape that fits snugly in packing cases and sits easily on vanities. While the four-wheeled hard side cases do not transform, like the other pieces in the collection they represent top-of-the-line industry upgrades in quality and styling.

The entire collection can be found by clicking here.

With Easter just around the corner, many of our customers have booked their flights & off to warmer climates. Wherever you are going this Easter, caseluggage.com has the bag, suitcase, tote or accessory for you!

Over the past few weeks, we have had some queries from our customers with regards to certain products, brands or ranges. We would like to address some of them here, in case other people have the same questions.

Will the Tumi iPad cover (Style 14238). fit the new iPad / iPad 3?

In answer to this question, no, the Tumi iPad cover, with built in stand, will not hold the new iPad. Unfortunately, our second most popular cover, the Knomo iPad cover, will also not hold it. Both companies are working hard to develop new covers, and as soon as they are available, we will have them for sale. Please contact us if you would like to be informed when we have these products available. In the mean time, we do have a range of alternative bags & sleeves which would still protect your iPad. For example, the Tumi universal cover, a Jekyll and Hide organiser, or a Mandarina Duck backpack.

Do you have a range that is designed for taking on a Ryanair flight?.

At caseluggage.com we do not stock a range that is designed specifically for Ryanair, but we have a large choice of bags & suitcases that are designed to meet the Ryanair cabin luggage restriction size, which is currently 55 x 40 x 20cm. Whether you are looking for a Bric’s, Rimowa, or Samsonite carry-on, we have a large selection in different colours & materials.

I am looking for a wheeled business case which can hold my laptop, but needs to be as thin as possible. What can you recommend?

We can recommend three products in particular that will meet your requirements.

Firstly, this Tumi business compact wheeled brief that is supplied with a removable laptop compartment. The case is expandable by 5cm & features a sleeve on the back of it so that you can attach it to the handle of a larger wheeled bag.

Secondly, we have this Mandarina Duck wheeled pilot case which features a removable top handle. The exterior front pocket has a zipper and a pocket for airline tickets, a mobile phone pocket and a pen holder.

Finally, we have a wheeled office piece from Samsonite. This lightweight piece is perfect for taking with you, wherever you go. From the Samsonite B-Lite range, it features easy-manoeuvre wheels and plenty of internal storage space.

All the talk today surrounds the Chancellor, and the Budget for 2012. At caseluggage.com we are more concerned about that red briefcase the Chancellor is carrying around. The original briefcase was made for William Gladstone in the 1860s, but Gordon Brown ordered a new one in 1997.

Did you know?? In 1868, Chancellor George Ward-Hunt faced a problem when it came to the case that contained the budget. He discovered on opening his briefcase in Parliament, that he had left his speech at home in Number 11 Downing Street.

James Callaghan, the chancellor from 1964-67, rejected the red box as being too small and he therefore had a new larger box made in brown leather. If George Osbourne were to decide that he wants to change the case for a new design or colour, we have some suggestions for him:

The Bridge Business Attache Case

This great looking attache case is made by The Bridge from the finest leather. There are organisational pockets in the lid for documents, mobile, pens etc. Therefore, the Chancellor could keep everything neat & tidy inside.

Tumi Business Tennyson Attache

The Tumi Townhouse Tennyson Attache Case features a combination lock so the Chancellor could prevent people from taking a peak at his work before he presents it to the country in Parliament. It also has a top carry handle, and leather corners and trim. The interior is fully lined and features a divider and organizer panels.

Quindici Attached Pilot Case on Wheels

Perhaps this Quindici Pilot Case on Wheels would be more appropriate for the Chancellor? It would allow him to wheel the Budget around in style, without having to pick it up and carry it.

Knomo Business Kilkenny Cross Body 10" Messenger

The Chancellor could move away from the traditional case, and opt for a Knomo messenger bag instead. The Knomo Kilkenny is one of the most comfortable man-bags around. It has plenty of space inside for the Budget, and also the Chancellor’s iPad or laptop.

If the Chancellor chooses a Tumi piece, perhaps he will stop and visit the newly refurbished concession in Selfridges, Oxford Street, in the luggage department.

On Monday 12th March, after a month of renovation, the Tumi department in Selfridges, re-opened. The larger space means that we can now offer you an ever wider selection of Tumi products.

The focus of the new department is the chandelier, hanging from the ceiling. This hand-made sculpture was designed by Moss & Lam and is titled ‘Vortex’.

According to the designers, “Vortex is a ceiling suspended sculpture representing the dynamism of travel and movement, where wind and water converge. Constructed out of glass, chrome, and acrylic, Vortex evokes the sensation of lightness and air while keeping with Tumi’s commitment to modern luxury and design. With sweeping arms that convey a continuous spiral and perpetual motion, Vortex alludes to the fast and ever-changing flow of global travel today.”

The sun is shining (at the moment!) which means that Spring must be on its way. Now we can start getting excited about our Easter break, and looking slightly further ahead, to our Summer holiday. We all know what happens, you go to cupboard a couple of days before your departure and you pull out your suitcase. You look at it, and realising that it is not in any state to withstand another flight you panic. You need a suitcase, otherwise you cant take the clothes, shoes, books, hairdryer etc with you on your holiday.

Here at caseluggage.com, we can help as we offer a next day delivery service so even if you do leave it until the last minute, we can make sure you have your brand new case in time. Simply order online, or call one of our friendly advisors on 0845 003 8283.

If you are looking for new luggage, then 2012 is the year to buy Tumi. From the Voyageur range for women, to new colours in the Vapor range we can help you find the perfect item.

2011 saw the successful launch of a collaboration between Tumi and Ducati (yes, the famous motorbike company!). The result was a range of suitcases & duffles in a red ‘race’ colour. The range proved to be so popular that 2012 sees the introduction of a new colour ‘track’. These smart looking black bags are sure to be a run away success.

The Tumi Beacon Hill range is new for 2012.

According to John Ruston, manager of the Tumi store in Piccadilly, “Beacon Hill is a unisex collection made from a 100% Natural leather with modern looks and Tumi’s renowned functionality this collection is available in black or brown. The collection is the best of both worlds as it has looks and functionality. Perfect for meetings and dress down Friday.”

The Tumi Vapor collection is one of the most popular ranges that we sell. These hard-wearing cases are perfect whether you are going for a short, or a long trip.

Leather is a fascinating material. It has the ability to turn any bag into something special thanks to its natural ageing process. Your bag will become one of a kind, changing slightly day by day, adding new tones and shades. Always elegant yet incredibly resistant, a leather bag is made to last a lifetime.

So why not treat yourself to a new leather bag that will accompany you throughout life’s daily journey? Alternatively, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you could treat your loved one?

It’s the set of dimensions that everybody hates, 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. Yes, that’s right, the size that you are permitted to take as a carry-on bag on a Ryanair flight (For a full list of dimensions permitted on other airlines, please see our travel desk). Now that you have booked, you realise you need a new bag or suitcase to take on board with you, because you have to put everything, including the kitchen sink inside. Your handbag, briefcase, laptop, shop purchases, camera etc must all be carried in your one permitted piece of cabin baggage. We realise how difficult it can be to put all of that in just one bag, so we have put together some our favourite cases & bags that are within the Ryanair size limits. We have some fantastic carry on luggage options from Tumi, Samsonite, Bric’s etc.
