Luxury luggage and accessories brand [Tumi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldhued-luggage) has expanded its 19 Degree line with the addition of a new [titanium shell carry-on](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardshell-carryon-suitcase).

For years high-end luggage brands have been using aluminum material to construct sleek and stylish suitcases. With this new carry-on, however, Tumi has taken the classic aluminum concept and given it an even more premium upgrade by utilizing high-quality titanium -- an incredibly strong (and pricy) steel material. The entire outer shell of the suitcase is covered with sculpted raw titanium while also featuring carbon fiber detailing.

Meanwhile, the suitcase's interior boasts a variety of organizational features including zipped pockets on both sides, a hanger bracket, and card pockets. In addition, the titanium-covered unit comes equipped with push-button locks, protective bumpers, and four dual spinning wheels.
