Short answer

Tumi lets you personalize most of its bags and luggage with a monogram of letters, numbers or symbols on a monogram patch and/or luggage tag. You add it on the product page at tumi.com, choose the placement, initials, font and color, and preview it before ordering. Tumi also offers a premium monogram with upgraded hardware letters at an extra cost, and accent kits to change the color of tags, patches and zipper pulls.
