This Year's Release Features Two Briefcases and One Tote

The 2012 edition of the "Limited Edition" collection stands out with its stylish design, combining black ballistic nylon with lustrous silver metallic hardware. Accents of silver complement the matte texture of the ballistic nylon, seen in the "LIMITED EDITION" plate on the name tag, the zipper pulls, and the logo plate on the front. Inside, a black lining with red and gray stripes creates a cool contrast with the exterior.

The briefcase offerings include two models: the "Limited Edition 2012 Expandable Organizer Brief," a single-compartment design with an expandable feature despite its slim profile, and the "Limited Edition 2012 Organizer Brief," a more spacious two-compartment option.

The "Limited Edition 2012 Companion Tote," with its simple aesthetic, is sized for a variety of uses, from daily errands to short business trips. Its handles are adjustable, allowing for both hand-carrying and shoulder-carrying.

All three models are equipped with organizational features such as mobile pockets, pen loops, and card slots, as well as a back sleeve for attachment to trolley cases. They are constructed from Tumi's proprietary FXT ballistic nylon.
