  • 19 Degree boasts a strikingly modern and cutting-edge design with strategically sculpted angles set against meticulously-crafted aluminum. To create 19 Degree, we drew inspiration from fluid elements of nature & exacting lines in architecture to bring to life a product that could push the boundaries of traditional travel gear & emotionally connect travelers to their own journeys like never before. 19 Degree offers game-changing advantages in aluminum design. Exceptionally striking up close or from a distance, this super durable carry-on boasts a modern silhouette with fluid looking, precise contoured angles with a bold reinforced exterior and extremely intelligent interior.

  • The stylish interior is expertly crafted with the finest aesthetics and organizational features including a lightweight lining with an embossed diamond pattern that complements the unique exterior pattern. For organizational use, 19 Degree's interior contains internal dividers with mesh zipper pockets, and tie down straps on both the front and back compartments.

  • This premium collection features a reinforced framecase design—with two snap closures for carry-on bags and three snap closures for check-in bags, with integrated, low-profile spring closure TSA locks for protection. Our patented closure system reduces the risk of damage to the zipper and makes replacing one unnecessary. The versatile luggage also features die-cast corner caps for additional protection on the move.

  • 19 Degree features four dual-spinning, recessed wheels engineered to offer effortless maneuverability and to provide greater packing capacity inside. The collection also features side carry handles wrapped with leather detailing and TUMI's patented, impact-resistant X-Brace 45® telescoping-handle system (made from lightweight-yet-sturdy aircraft-grade aluminum) that reduces the weight of the bag for effortless maneuverability and a smooth travel experience.
