Tumi

Tumi is a brand of premium luggage and travel accessories. Based in the United States, the company established itself in the 1970s and gained recognition for durable materials, thoughtful design, and a focus on travel functionality. Its product lines include suitcases, carry-ons, backpacks, briefcases, and miscellaneous travel accessories. In 2016, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton acquired Tumi, incorporating it into its portfolio of luxury brands. Today, Tumi operates internationally through company-owned stores, department-store retail partners, and e-commerce channels, offering products in multiple materials such as ballistic nylon and polycarbonate, often featuring features like integrated USB charging, TSA-approved locks, and warranty programs.

In Bengali, tumi (written as তুমি) is an informal second-person pronoun meaning “you.” It is commonly used in casual conversation among friends and family, with more formal address often expressed by apni and respectful forms. Pronoun choices in Bengali vary by region, social context, and level of familiarity.

The tumi is a ceremonial knife from the Andean region of South America, historically associated with ancient cultures such as the Moche and the Inca. The blade is typically curved or circular, and the handle often features stylized human or animal motifs. Used in rituals, including offerings and sacrifices, the tumi is widely regarded as an important symbol of Peru’s pre-Columbian heritage. Ancient examples are kept in museums and have also become prominent as national symbols.
