News TUMI permanently closes at Disney Springs

Is Disney's great outdoor mallpark failing?
Covid to blame or other issues? IMO this sort of mirrors EPCOT's past issue with finding and retaining sponsors. This doesn't seem much different. I'm sure Springs will bounce back but things will likely get worse before they can get better. Another one bites the dust.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I'm sure its more COVID impact related than just typical loss of sponsors/shops
As noted in another thread announcing a closure, there's been relatively little turnover in DS stores. The ones that have closed are often the ones part of a chain in which the chain was closing.
And there's been relatively few closures since the pandemic. DS regularly hits its reduced capacity limits.
WDW has been recently hitting their reduced capacity limits quite often thanks mostly to the locals. WDW couldn't handle the return of the previous volume of national and international guests.
But it should be no surprise that a store that specializes in products for long-distance travelers is closing at this time in which locals dominate.

Guess nobody is buying high-end luggage with travel shut down.
Too bad it’s too late for a Spirit Halloween popup store.

I’m a travelpro fan myself when it comes to luggage. But I bought a Tumi Wallet in NYC like 5 or 6 years ago and it’s held up great. If I ever need a new on I’d buy the same one again if available.

Tumi isn’t even remotely the same brand it was 10 years ago. Meh.

Agreed with others here who said TUMI is now overpriced garbage with a crap warranty.
I travel 300k+ miles a year on airlines with a mix of high-end (Rimowa) and practical (Travelpro).
My main concern with luggage is the warranty.

Sadly since Rimowa was bought out and the new head is some 20 something, they have become more of a fashion brand. They also pulled all stock to push their flagship stores and luggage stores no longer can get parts for cases. Rimowa would prefer you send your 15 pound aluminum trunk to NYC for a wheel

Rimowa’s was bought by LVMH. Aka Louis Vuitton. They’re are doing amazing things lately. They are controlling their stock by selling in in their own stores. This is a good thing for a luxury brand. They have also recently implemented many new repair sites worldwide but the good news is you rarely need to repair a Rimowa.Sadly since Rimowa was bought out and the new head is some 20 something, they have become more of a fashion brand.
