Notes from our data check
tumi.com returned a bot challenge (HTTP 307), and Tumi India's page shows only a package size (36 x 23 x 51 cm), so the figures come from authorized retailer Abt (model 139683-A311): "Approximate Dimensions: Height 21.7 in, Width 14 in, Depth 9 in, Expanded Depth 11 in", unit weight 7.84 lb, 38 L, four recessed dual spinner wheels. It does not say whether wheels and handles are included. Search-engine snippets I could not open: Bloomingdale's 21.75 x 14 x 9 in (11 in expanded); Tumi India 55 x 36 x 23 cm. $795 is Abt's 'Comp. Value' (Abt sells it at $635). Despite the 'International' name, 22.9 cm depth is over 20 cm limits. Amazon not checked. Derived values: cm converted from the published inches (x2.54, 1 dp); kg converted from the published lb.
