Need a vacation from the election? If the politician-elects hold to promises and cut taxes, maybe you can splurge on Tumi luggage for your getaway.

Tumi is one of those brands that once you try it, you're hooked. You're paying for quality and durability and to a lesser extent, style. It's also a name that rarely goes on sale unless a line is discontinued.

For its 35th anniversary, Tumi is offering $100 off any $300 purchase using code TUM135 online. You can call one of the local suppliers and ask if they will honor the $100 off in the store. Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Macy's, Von Maur, Luggage World in St. Louis Park and Luggage Pro's in Minnetonka carry it. Tumi stores can be found in Mall of America and the Galleria in Edina. The offer is good through Nov. 24.

The stuff wears like iron and the company stands behind it. I wish the Twin Cities had a Tumi outlet store, but they seem to be concentrated on the coasts. Meanwhile, this is a rare sale that anyone can take advantage of.
